To make a long story short, I had envisioned her choosing something on the order of the Ruger LCP, etc. Thankfully, the salesman suggested that she try the trigger pulls on various pistols. She had trouble, time after time. We had fifteen guns out on the counter before she found one that she could actually pull the trigger without any problems. She finally decided on a Glock 26 (dealer also rents guns, so we tried one before she bought it). She suffers from RA but I would have never thought about trigger pull weight giving her a problem. Has anyone else encountered this?
I have severe RA and have had to find a pistol I could shoot. I used to carry .45 S&W traditional DA pistols (models 4506 and 457) and I loved those guns. But it got so that I could not pull the trigger. I switched to Glock and can still shoot. Glock has a longer reach than most, this helps. I have also had to do trigger jobs with the 3.5 connector and put in the competition spring set on all my Glocks, even my carry pistol. Its tough getting old.
be safe,
