I would like to second the advice to switch guns. I find the Beretta 92FS and steel frame 5” 1911 to be VERY low recoil.
The PX4 is lighter and carries like your G19. The PX4 has the same grip angle as the big 92FS and a different recoil pulse that may be gentler on the wrist.
My 5” M&P has pretty low recoil too, if you want to stay with a striker fired pistol. The 380EZ is literally MADE for people with weak hands or bad wrists. I am seriously considering buying one for my wife.
Training with a .22 is an excellent choice. Shoot the HECK out of your trainer, qualify with your G19 once a year, keep it well oiled and carry with confidence. Now if the .22 trainer hurts, don’t give up! The steep Glock grip angle may be the problem. Switching to the 18-degree grip angle might be the ticket.
Good luck. Please report back with your results.
