i have a shoulder injury , most likely a rotator . have had the same before & i know the pain & discomfort it causes . mri next few days on right shoulder .
went to the range to find out how i fared shooting . fired a light weight commander w/230 gr. fired this large caliber just to test my limits . TOO MUCH . the recoil impulse went up my arm like a laser & & stopped at the exact point on my injured shoulder place ! wow ... the worst recoil i ever had , and yes , i have shot many guns in a lot of calibers . i do not carry or usually do not load this gun . the next i fired was a gun i load & carry , a glock 9mm 43 . used mostly left hand & got decent results . i carry & keep this gun for home protection most of time . managed 4 mags thru each gun from 12 yds . amazinly i manged to get the rounds on a reduced silo target with the 45 .... ... the glock proved a good bit better control was much improved. have a ruger sp also kept for home protection . will be taking it to the range & fire it with 38 cal. fodder . usually keep it loaded with deadly mag safe loads , which have little recoil.
good to know what my limitations are with this injury & what might be the best guns to employ
