A Nine with Ergonomics in Mind

Filed under: OTC


Here we have some atypical fare for this blog. Firing handguns can be difficult for folks with arthritis, as the recoil puts a good deal of stress on the wrist and hand joints, and squeezing the trigger can be impossible. Constitution Arms of Maplewood, New Jersey has created the pictured Palm Pistol, a double action 9mm single shot that supposedly is easier to control than traditional pistols by people with bad hands. Perhaps, we'll see a new Paralympic shooting sport spring out of this.
