Suited for home defense, concealed carry or as a backup gun. It is also ideal for seniors, disabled or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity. Using the thumb instead of the index finger for firing, it significantly reduces muzzle drift, one of the principal causes of inaccurate targeting. Point and shoot couldn't be easier. << <a href="http://www.palmpistol.com/" target="_blank">http://www.palmpistol.com/</a> <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/12092008/news/regionalnews/arthritis_gun_backfires_with_fda_143378.htm" target="_blank">http://www.nypost.com/seven/12...3378.htm</a>
