Missing Fingers and Automatic Handguns.

Try using a .22 caliber handgun. I have a few handguns of varying calibers and actions but I always go back to my .22s. Just plain fun to shoot, no recoil to deal with and AFFORDABLE. For a little more punch I throw the extra cylinder in the single six and use .22wmr. If you want to use larger calibers like .357&up etc, try a heavy revolver. I particularly like the ruger single actions as the combination of grip shape and the solid weight of the gun do a lot to tame recoil. If your set on 9mm autos try to find one that is all steel, not alloy/plastic for a little extra weight. The weight seems to make the recoil more like a push then a sharp quick jab. Welcome to hand-gunning and enjoy.

Again, don't forget the lowly .22 till you try it. Aside from at least one self defense handgun in suitable caliber, I could easily live with just .22 handguns. take care.
