I'm totally right handed. I mean very, very right handed. Unfortunately as I'm getting older I've developed arthritis in my wrist and thumb and shooting just ain't what it used to be. I'm sure the many thousands of .44 mag and .357's rounds sent downrange over the years haven't really helped. I've made the below adjustments and would like any advice from the fellow members. I don't want to feel undergunned in case a self defense situation does arise.
I'm shooting .38+P 158gr. LSWCHP in both my snubbie SP101 and snubbie S&W 66. The extra weight on these guns seems to soften the recoil to a reasonable level, especially the Ruger. Just can't go .357 anymore
In my Detective Specials I still shoot standard pressure .38 158gr. LSWCHP, but am thinking about going down to 148gr. full wadcutters as they admittedly do feel alot better. I'm sort of worried about this in a self defense situation.
And finally can someone reccomend to me a soft shooting .45LC factory load that won't leave me short on the protection end. I have several that I shoot for fun (Vaquero and USFA Rodeos) but they do double duty on my 4 wheeler and truck around the farm. Reloading for these is not an option.
Many thanks in advance
