I have a problem with my left wrist (non dominant) and that hand/wrist will need reconstructive surgery next month. I like to carry as often as possible, but this is getting to be a challenge. Currently, my carry stable is an M&P 40 and a 1911. I'm worried about working the slide and recoil should I need to use one. My question is which would you opt for and why.
I can rack the slide, though gingerly, when suiting up, but it's gonna be a chore to do much else. Reloads (if needed) may be difficult as well, but I think adrenaline might help some there too.
Should I opt for rear sights with a rear ledge for cocking purposes? Would that really help? Should I go with the M&P because of capacity? Or the 1911 for better control one-handed? Maybe scratch the idea and carry a wheelgun instead? What do one armed people do? Inquiring minds want to know!
