So I broke my left wrist about 3 weeks ago and had surgery on it last week. For at least the next 5 or 6 weeks, while I do physical therapy and heal, I won't have the strength to rack the slide on my G43. I've had training on one handed reloads and one handed malfunction drills, but I'm still not totally comfortable with it on a gun as small as the 43. So I picked up a Taurus 85 UltraLite to pocket carry for a while. It's comfortable, light, and much easier to reload with a bum hand. Plus, with pocket carry in a jacket or something it can be fired without having to take it out of my pocket. Once I'm all healed up I'll pass it on to my wife to carry in her purse as she's much more comfortable with a revolver than a semi-auto. Plus I've always wanted a snub-nose 38, and for $200, I couldn't think of a reason why not.
