Thank you all for the replies. I shot an IDPA match this morning with the left arm in the sling until I got to the firing line. Only stage I had much effect from the weak left arm was starting from a creeper flat on my back and having to get up left side, retrieve pistol from a tool box and shoot 6 targets. Getting off the creeper was a little slower than normal. I shot well, however. Thanks for the reminders on the rehab. Your advice is consistent with what everyone has told me--work the rehab to the fullest. Thanks again. Joe L.

I just bought an X-5 AllRound in 9mm. So far, so good. Still shooting my standard P226 in local IDPA match in Midland, however, this weekend. Joe

New member here, have only been shooting since March, 2 club IDPA matches so far, another one scheduled this coming weekend. Injured weak hand rotater cuff with too heavy a range bag in June. Surgery 5 weeks ago, shot (practice) first time 3 days after surgery, one-handed. Very encouraging results, identified some things to work on. Continued shooting and improving single handed, even silhouettes at 50 yards. A weak ago got to remove left arm from sling and shoot with a very weak left hand grip. Accuracy drills were better than before the injury. Will enter IDPA match this weekend using weak grip but strong enough for reloads and slide rack, so no safety issues. Won't be able to do prone, however. Should have strong arm surgery in November. Now that will be more of a challenge! I'm looking forward to it! Joe
