Do you mean physical injuries? or to your wallet?

 

[9x45]

It sounds to me like you’re doing something wrong, just my opinion. Shooting guns shouldn’t cause tendinitis, even if you’re going through thousands of dollars in ammo per month.

I am 72, have had osteo and psoriatic arthritis for the last 30 years, a broken wrist and shoulder about 5 years ago from a motorcycle crash, and currently run about 20,000 rounds per year in competition. The way to manage recoil, whether it's a 22LR or 10mm, is with the correct stance and grip.

Small frame light guns have brutal recoil. Get a full size heavier gun in a caliber you can manage.

Hold your gun like this.
