Sorry I meant what gun would you recommend to use with the rest. I found this rest which I think might work well. This video shows the small size, but the large size is twice the width which I like better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv7geJP0iIE

If I were to put something on my chair to rest my hands and gun what would recommend? Also a friend mentioned he thinks there is a television show about a company that makes custom guns. Does anyone know what show this is or anyone that soecializes in this. I have been making a list of everything I am looking for and thinking maybe it is possible to build it around my needs.

I just took a look at the Taurus polymer .22 with tip-up barrel. I really like it, but it is still a little heavy at 10.8 ounces. I was looking at other forum on this site and someone mentioned a .22 TCM. Can someone tell me what that is?

I was never considering attempting to fire the LCP. I simply held to see how much weight I could possibly hold. One recommendation on here was a tip-up barrel which I was researching. It is a .22, but similar in size and weight to the LCP. If I cannot hold the LCP I do not think I can hold the tip-up barrel even if I could handle the recoil. When you say the mini combo which are you referring to?

Thank you for all your support. I think maybe I need to reevaluate things just a little bit. The idea of the Ruger Charger is starting to look better and the idea of designing something to fit my needs. A friend of mine had recommended this as well. Does anyone know where I can research having something designed to fit my specific needs?

Here is a quick update on my research.

Someone I know has a Ruger LCP with a built in laser. I recently held it with an empty magazine. I was barely able to hold it and would of never been able to steadily aim anything close to weighing that. I checked and it is about 10 ounces. Can someone tell me what 5 rounds of 22 short, 22 LR, and 22 magnum weigh so I know what a NAA loaded weighs?

On another note another friend of mine who knows about guns said the best round for me could be a 5.7 x 28 because he said the recoil is low like a 22 LR, but strong enough for self defense. I looked it up, but couldn't find any lightweight guns. Any ideas?

I live in South Florida.

Grayelky,

The revolvers you mentioned are a little heavy given my muscle strength. What do you think of something in between like the Pug or Sidewinder? How do these compare to the others you mentioned? How much strength do you need for the hammer and trigger?

Zip,

When I said two models on the Ruger website I saw they make a CHR22-FC and a CHR22-10. Do you what the difference is?

zippovarga I have a few questions if you do not mind. I know very little about guns and your idea is very inventive.

What is a rotary clip?
What is a magazine loader?
What is a front mount sling?
What is a folding stock?
What are over sized charging handles?
What is a extended magazine release?
What is the difference between the two model of the charger?
Can you explain how to use the charger from start to finish?

Hello I am in my late 20's and have a disability that confines me to a wheelchair. I also have extremely limited muscle strength. To give you an idea of my lifting strength I can lift my camera which ways almost 8oz, but I will be very shaky. I am looking for something to use just for fun at the range and possible personal protection as I am moving into my own apartment. The NAA mini revolvers seem to be the best choices as far guns go. I know very little about guns, but friends have made suggestions. One is that I should use .22 Short at the range because of the low recoil and .22 Magnum for protection.

Does this make sense?
Which revolver do you all recommend?
How much recoil do these have?
Which can I put a laser on to improve my accuracy?
How hard is it to pull the hammer back?
How hard is it to pull the trigger?

On another note the only other gun I considered is the Kel-Tec P32 as it is the lightest pistol I found, but friends have said the slide might be to difficult and the recoil might also be two much. Is NAA the better choice?
