Wife got another one

Post by RPBrown »

Early last year my wife got a Sig 938. She had shot one at the range and seemed to have liked it. After taking hers to the range a couple of times, she was having an issue with the ambidextrous safety hitting her knuckle joint. I looked at her hand and saw the joint was swollen and hard. She went to the doc and found out that arthritis had set in. Therefore she could no longer shoot the 938. So, we rolled it into the safe and off to the range we went to rent a few for her to shoot. She absolutely loved the way the XD9 MOD 2 felt and shot so we got one for her. Now for the issue. Last week she went to the range with some of her friends for a girls night out. When she went to reload, she realized that not only could she not reload the magazines even with the speed loader, but she could not rack the slide, both because of the arthritis in her hands. So, this past Saturday we went looking for a wheel gun. She found a S & W model 60 that she liked, felt good in her hands, she is able to load and shoot it comfortably so we got it for her. Now looking for a holster and throwing another one in the holster drawer.
Now, that is 3 for her in about a years time and none for me :cryin . Except I have started using the 938 as my BUG. I think one of her girlfriends wants to buy the XD but if not, I will put it up for sale here soon.

My dad bought this for loading his magazines.

I have used the methods shown below to show a few people how to rack the slide.

She has the loader and like the slide, she can't grip anything. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and she has virtually no finger/grip strength any more.
