I ain't what I used to be.
And while I'm a dedicated revolver user, I do favor
at times the auto pistol
Numerous times, usually posted in the Revolver section
of The High Road, shooters have said they've turned to
revolvers because they can no longer work the slides of
the auto pistols.
I know that's true for me but with one exception in regard
full sized auto pistols in 9mm.
That exception is the Beretta 92 in its various 9mm models. Not
only is it the softest shooting/low recoil pistol around (as
determined by Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat) but I've found it
easily manipulated with my weakened hands.
Activating the slide is no problem for me.
One drawback for some is the size of the grip/trigger reach. But
with the emphasis on the Vertec shaped grip as featured in
the new 92GTS, those with smaller hands may find it very usable.
Combined with the use of the Uplula magazine loader, those with
infirmed hands may enjoy once again the use of an auto pistol.
I'm sure others have chosen other full sized auto pistols to get around
their infirmities and I'd love to hear from them.
By the way, Beretta has really worked on their triggers and the
DA/SA is really no problem, especially for those already familiar
with DA revolvers.
And of course the revolver is still an outstanding choice.
