Shooting with fused wrist, first outing

[mightymouse]

Recently got the OK from my doc to have at it with what ever I wanted to shoot. A few of you know I've been hobbled by 3 wrist surgeries, spent much of last year in casts, splints, took up lefty shooting for a bit but gladly can now put that behind me. So now with super stainless plate, no can bend, but shoot, heck yeah! I ran about 150 rounds through my Beretta .40, Kahr CM9 (50+ rounds) and LCP. Sensation is different, recoil is all in elbow and shoulder, no wrist flex, period. I shot some of the most accurate on rapid fire groups ever with my slap-happy Beretta. My little gem, CM9 had the tightest groups at 24' running about 2" for the last few mags. Now broken in, its become a pleasure to shoot and imo, still best trigger out there.

Good to practice with both hands 'cause you never know when dominant hand might fail. I'm so comfortable left its been really hard to switch my carry back to right side. I suppose I can now carry with one in each pocket and not be flustered :p

Congratulations! I hope that all the repair work is behind you now. Shooting is fun and a great release.

sure glad u havegot the good to go. A hell of away to have to train to shoot left handed but maybein the long run it will be a good training to. I should shoot more right handed but AI am just so awkward shooting right handed that I just cannot train myself to do it..

We often kid my wife's mother about being a "bionic woman" with her two knee replacements and a shoulder. I'd say you qualify too! The bionic part that is . . . :D
