Hello all.
I finally found a NIB old stock Ruger P345 .45 ACP pistol. I picked it up months ago but just haven't shot it that much. You see, I love the pistol, but it doesn't love me back! I have weak hands and the recoil hurts me. A steel 1911 doesn't hurt, but the lightweight, plastic frame, Commander size P345 hurts after only 50 rounds or so. Last time at the range, my hand was sore for a week. What to do?
Have any of you swapped out the factory 13# spring for a Wolff 15# or 19# recoil spring? I made a similar swap on my LCP. The weapon works fine. Recoil is much more manageable. I just wonder if anyone else has done the same with the big P345.
Also wondering about a lighter hammer strut spring to lighten the initial double action pull.
Your stories and feedback are most welcome.
PS
I can't suck it up, man up, stop being a wimp, or strengthen my hands. I have a neuromuscular disease and my hands just are what they are. Thanks for understanding.
