You really fractured your wrist? I have one and can’t imagine it doing that although it kicks like hell. Did you have a previous injury?

No. These were specialty, heavy for caliber, bear loads. I fired all six, and on the last one felt the pain in my wrist. Could hardly use the hand for a month. I think, if I remember right, that I had the wood grips on it. After that experience, I bought a set of the X-Frame grips, i.e., the ones with extra padding over the backstrap.
