I'm sorry if this has been posted before and I missed it, or my searching skills have diminished with age. I've been wanting a Shockwave since they were released but concerned about their recoil characteristics. A few years ago I was involved in a motor vehicle collision which nearly ended my life. Because I had kept my hand on top of the steering wheel during airbag deployment, my right wrist was severely fractured among a host of other massive lower extremity injuries (Lesson that I learned, the Toyota Prius is the natural prey animal to the Chevy Trailblazer).
After all the surgeries were said and done. I've been left with minor arthritis because of how the wrist healed and a partly functioning ulnar nerve. Leaving me with the thumb, index and middle fingers for holding strength. The most potent firearm I own for recoil is the Ruger LCR 357, full powered 158 grain loads will sting for a time after firing an entire cylinder.
Is the Shockwave worse than that little snub nose revolver for most common buckshot loads, or maybe even slugs? If the 12 gauge version is too stout, would the 20 gauge be lesser? I've not fired a 12 gauge since the 80's on my grandfathers Remington Model 10 (Which is mine now and too concerned it's not up to modern ammo capability). I want a Shockwave, but don't want another safe queen because it hurts to shoot. My CZ 75B fall of the Soviet Union edition would become quite jealous if there was competition.
