New guy here. I am by far not an expert on your physical limitations. However it seems as though the less buttons and doodads you have to manipulate the better off you'll be. And having to rack the slide on an auto might be more of a problem than you realize. My humble recommendation would be Taurus revolver in 9mm with a couple of reloads in moon clips. The recoil is about that of 38 +p. And with full moon clips it will be much easier to reload. Limp wristing is'nt an issue. Good luck in your search.

assisted slide racking
First let me say I have no idea if this will work for you...now that that's out of the way; If memory serves me correctly a few years back I was reading about the then new CZ 100 pistols and the article talked about it having a t-bar/ catch type thing installed in the middle of the slide that supposedly was there for use in cycling the slide one handed in an emergency by leveraging this catch on the edge of a table, counter, etc. and then pushing the grip frame forward in relation to the now stationary slide. I checked the CZ USA website and indeed this catch/ t-bar/ whatever you wanna call it thingy is still present on the slides http://www.czusa.com/product_detail.php?id=44.
I agree with the earlier comments to, if possible, try out several different weapons and see what works for you. I also see no reason that a good pistolsmith or machinist couldn't make and install a catch/ slide rack assist, like the CZ100 has, onto a different pistol for you. In addition to using a table or counter edge I wonder if such a device could make a good purchase on the top seam of a jeans or other sturdy pants pocket and leverage the slide stationary while pushing the grip - I know it sounds crazy, but I thought the idea of the Emerson knives commander "wave" model opening by a small choil/ notch on the top of the blade hooking into a pocket seam and leveraging the blade open as the knife was drawn from the pocket was crazy. Crazy until I an Emerson employee, after explaining it to me, handed me one at the Blade show a few years back when they debuted and the thing worked like a champ. That gave me the crazy idea to suggest trying it with a pistol, and heck maybe you'll wanna pick up an Emerson w/ the wave opening feature for ease of use. Sorry that got long winded, but I hope it helps.

CZ 100
I forgot to mention the CZ 100 does have a light/ accesory rail, I'm not sure about night sights or if its sight dovetails differ from other CZs or not, capacity is 12 + 1 in 9mm, and there are a handful listed @ $359 NIB on gunsamerica.com in either 9mm or 40 S&W from a couple dealers. Let me also say I have no personal experience with this firearm, nor any other CZ; however I thought some of the features found on this pistol might be of interest for your needs especially considering CZ's very solid reputation in the shooting community.

Being a Glock lover and have tested/owned almost every model and I REALLY recomend the G26. You said you have problems with the jump or recoil -either way this can be be helped greatly by a "Springco" dual stage recoil rod and spring (or another good brand). This reduces the recoil by 40%. I also love the gun because if you want a carry- its the smallest Glock makes with a ammo capicity and with a new barrel and fullsized clip w/extended grip, you have a full sized Glock 17 ( Two in one!?) Hope this helps - Smokes

I have to disagree...
A Glock, or any other lightweight pistol, is going to be high on felt recoil, which is a problem for someone with low hand strength. My roomate, who also has low hand strength problems, has fired a full-size Glock in 9mm and disliked the amount of felt recoil. A compact- i.e. even lighter- Glock would have even less weight to absorb felt recoil.
Also, any striker-fired pistol with an increased strength recoil spring will be harder to rack the slide on, and any striker-fired pistol means someone with low hand strength doesn't have the option to cock the hammer first to reduce the strength necessary to rack the slide. (I've experienced with my roomate that after a long range trip his hands get tired and he almost has to cock the hammer to work the slide) (excepting those striker-fired pistols where you can cock the striker first- anyone know of any?)

Actually, in striker fired guns, the slide is usually about as easy to rack as a hammered auto with the hammer cocked. The striker only makes about a 5 pound difference, and only for about a half inch of slide movement at the most (that would be if you hold the trigger to the rear, re-set the striker so it's held all the way to the rear by the trigger, then rack again with the trigger still held).
