Like 431PD, I have arthritis in my hands. The only semi-auto that I can manipulate competently is an HK P7 (your grip actually improves with recoil, plus, it's pretty kid-proof.) I find myself going to my S&W 625 in .45ACP more and more. It's big, easy to manipulate, and the moon clips make loading and reloading pretty efficient. I used to shoot both equally well, but old age brings (some) wisdom, and I really prefer my wheel guns now.

Good luck,

Dave

Also, how many of you carry a semi auto with the revolver as backup, or carry a semi auto most of the time? Who switched from a semi auto back to a revolver and why?
