WOW this sounds like the handicapped shooters page! I had 6 surgeries before the final fusion. I originally tore the ligaments between 2 bones while making an arrest atwork ( a police officer) had a partial fusion, returned to work and while making an arrest blew the surgery apart-back to the surgeon. Eventually had to have a complete fusion. I am happy to have good grip strenght, but no movement. I had to retire from the cop job and find something else and now am just trying to trade off the guns I can't shoot for some I can. Really looking for a Thompson Center or any thumbhole stock rifle or muzzeloader in trade for the pistol if I can't sell it outright.
