one of my best friends used to be an avid shooter and was halfway through cop school when he suffered a crippling hand injury. long story short, he fell down and ended up with a broken Corona bottle through the palm of his hand. three surgeries and five years of physical therapy later, he wants to get back into shooting, and get his CCW.
i've taken him shooting quite a few times, starting with .22's and working his way up to light .38 special out of my GP-100. because of his hand injury, he is more recoil sensitive than most people. he said he could shoot my Taurus PT-138 (.380) without any pain at all, but he doesn't think it's a viable self-defense round.
does anyone have any recommendations for a handgun that has decent stopping power with low recoil? he wants an automatic with a decently high capacity. i'm a revolver guy mostly, so i'd like some input.
