Hey everyone,
I pulled out my PA-63 yesterday after about 12 years in the cabinet. I always remembered it as having a recoil that hurt the area between my thumb and index finger. When I shot it yesterday I realized that I hadn't remembered wrong. That things hurts my hand. Now I am not a small handed or large handed person. Let's say they are just right!
anyway, I tried a few slightly different ways of holding it but the muzzle flip just digs that frame tang or tailpiece (whatever they call that thing) into the muscle between the ole thumb and index finger.
Anyone else find that? Anyone have an answer to lessening the problem other than much lighter loads?? I am shooting some old Chinese 9X18 rounds. Green box, copper washed steel case, RNFMJ, non-corrosive, that stuff.
