I watch this forum a lot. Over the years I have fired many handguns from .44 Mag down. Currently I own and shoot a S&W .40 (Walther frame), Ruger GP100 .357, Keltec P32 and P3AT. I have moderate arthritis in both hands (especially at base of thumbs) so I was a little concerned when I bought the P3. I have the Bersa finger extension, rubber grip (made from large rubber band) and what I feel is the best purchase, a pair of $30.00 shooting gloves from Cabelas. First time out I shot over 120 rounds in P3. Two hands, left handed, right handed with only two FTE and no FTF. I am completely satisfied with the way this little gun shoots. I do recommend the gloves for those that say that a trip to the range hurts their hands. I felt no discomfort after my trip.
