Wishing I had mine snubbie

[singlesix]

I'll be in a hand cast for 6 weeks. Now I wish I kept my .38 snubbie. Can't clear a ftf on my pistols one handed. Live and learn. I do have a ruger singlesix with 22 mag cylinder, guess I'll load that up.

You can clear it. Perfect time to practice.

stop spending so much time in the bathroom and your hand wont be in a cast

I had carpal tunnel surgery. Haven't carried a gun in about 3 weeks. I know how you feel.

You can do it, but its not easy or particularly fast.

Of course, neither is reloading a revolver one handed. Both require a lot of practice to be decent at.

I'm not anxious to give up my BUG, but I will if you don't have another alternative. Let me know.

sounds more like you need to give up the person giving the "ultimatum" assuming it was not yourself.
heal quick!!

The good news is you'll have cash from the bike to spend on guns.

Ruger Six shooter will suffice till your back to 100%,

Had a torn rotator cuff once after a scuffle with a perp, and a S&W M36 became my friend. Pain management does work but a cast, sling, stitches-staples, produce various wierd applications of weak hand draw, etc. Not to forget the other motor functions: Shaving, brushing teeth, eating, stirring coffee, and so on.

After release, had to requal with weak hand shooting to start back to work. Took a while after to really be "recovered". Go to a gun show and buy a left hand holster(if you are right handed) see if it will help. May open a door you never thought of.

A few Firearms Instructors use to teach a short lesson of "Mirror" carry so 2 of the same(or similar) firearms could be carried and deployed if needed.
In the "Day" we often carried 2 firearms, some similar, to be prepped for anything.
Good luck, and hope your recovery goes well.

The rear sights serve a dual purpose, find ledge jam rear sights on ledge and shove down hard on gun. Not good for sights, good for living .

Can you reach your wallet? If so go buy another 38 snubbie

Or teach yourself to rack the slide on your pants. Train for the worst case scenario. One of the things I could not do with my Glock was rack the slide on my leg. The slide was too smooth. My SIG I can easily rack the slide on my pants/shorts. Once you figure it out, you can do it everytime.
