Feature | Gun Recommendations For Persons With Disabilities | First Handgun Recommendation

Here's a decent list of gun recommendations for our differently-abled brothers and sisters. Everyone, especially those who are an easy target for abuse, has the right to protect themselves from those who mean them harm. Since not all human beings behave and think as humans should, a lot of us are forced to use deadly weapons to protect ourselves from danger. A gun is the only means for a disabled person to have a fighting chance against a charging attacker– all the more reason for them to be given the opportunity to carry a firearm for defense. Evildoers shouldn't be given the luxury to take advantage of the defenseless, so let's talk about some gun recommendations to even the scales for them.

Gun Recommendations for the Physically Impaired

These handguns are not only known for their comfort and excellent grip, but are extremely reliable as well. The last thing anyone needs is a defensive firearm that fails in the face of danger. Most disabled people lack the physical capability to escape a possible attack. A reliable handgun would be the best tool for concealment and protection.

    I know this is an old video but hopefully you will give me an answer. I have psoriatic arthritis with my right hand being in “end stages” deformities. It’s hard to rack a gun and I need something with light recoil but also something I can rack. What is this gun you are using in the video? I’m not seeing racking and seems quieter and less recoil. I’ve been to different gun shops and all want to sell me something too heavy or hard on my hands.

    I am legally blind, what most people don’t understand is that being legally blind does not mean the person is totally blind. There are those of us that can see some, but like me, I lost my sight after 50yrs. I still see shadows and to look at me if I don’t have my cane, you couldn’t tell it. I spent 10yrs in the service and I use a lot of my tanker training to help me get around and shot. I have even shot in the legends turkey shots where I live and have even won. My biggest thing is when I am out and someone sees that I am carrying even though I still have a life time permit, they bulk at it and think I am some kind of idiot to still carry until I explain that I still can see and even distinguish shadows. My wife even says she feels safe with my carrying a gun. So I would like to learn some more shooting technics for the VISUALLY EMPAIRED. I am a very safe and contientios firearms carrier. My email is [email protected], thank you for your time.

      Dwayne, you epitomize the person who refuses to stop living and surrender to their challenges. A physical challenge does not mean you are helpless or less of a person, and in a person like you it actually means just the opposite. That you are strong and alive and refuse to surrender to anything. I would be very interested to know what you carry, what ammo you load in it, and what special preparations you make to ensure you are ready to deal with whatever comes your way.
