22 days after i broke my right rotator at the wrist, it's still in a brace, but it only hurts when I make certain rotation motions (starting a car, opening a door). However, I decided today that I'd try going to the range with the glock to see how it felt - it had been almost a month since I was last at the range (see that .223 case rupture for my last visit to the range).
Anyway, last time I was practicing with the glock, I did horribly - I mean, at 15 yards it was a total joke - 6"-7" groupings, and a constant pull to the lower left, which for me is caused by an improper grip.

Well today, with the wrist brace still on, I was back to a more rational 1" or so grouping (I'm not one of those freaky people who gets through the same hole with their handgun). I figure if I can do 2-3 quick rounds in an area about the size of a fist I'm doing OK.

Today, it was all in the area the size of my palm at 21 feet! The brace really helped me get a steady locked grip.

Anyway, just posting to say the breaking something isn't all bad.

That's great! So keep the wrist brace with the weapon in the future. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Martin, This is also a opurtunity to practice the weak hand drills. You never no they could be useful. Also what is wrong with being a freak who shoots one hole groups. You have to rember that every bullet has a lawyer attached to it. be well Coyote
