[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 1317308, member: 707"] Alrighty, then. Guess I will agree, no poly gun should be more than $300, but in any event... A word of warning- arthritis is (generally)progressive. Shooting is an agressively irritating pass time. The 5906 is an excellent deal, but probably not the best long term solution; its rigid frame transfers all that energy to the hand, as will any all metal weapon. Poly is [U]slightly[/U] better. The problem we have is that what most of us will percieve as "negligible" energy is likely to cause her serious problems with comparatively little shooting. One other thought- I believe a Ruger GP100 will take the Super Redhawk grips. If so, a 3-4" GP100 loaded with some .38 spls, and using a Hogue Alaskan grip, with the sorbathane insert would be [U]extremely[/U] mild. Obviously not an auto, but... As someone mentioned, she could train weak-hand, but the problem is cross-eye dominance, which really degrades accuracy under pressure, unless she [I]really[/I] trains, which may make the problem worse anyway.
