Of course it just had to happen now. I'm not even back at work from my 2nd period classes for a stinkin' week and I break my frikkin' right hand! (cue the inevitable "wank" jokes... now) :slap:

Okay, so here's the question for you guys. How can a right handed individual operate a M1911A1 with a broken right hand?

Get someone else to load magazines and #### it for you, then just keep changing mags without letting it run dry. ;)

Sounds like you need your very own "Mag #####!":D Give Longshot a shout! He might be able to hook you up!:D :D :D

Sorry to hear about the hand though! I thought you were supposed to go blind when you "did that which we must never speak of?":D So its the "HAND" we have to worry about!:D ;) Guess I can stop wearing the Oakleys in the bathroom!:D

You can cycle the slide on a 1911 one handed using the "Israeli" boot technique (OK I don't know the real name for this technique). But you're probably out of luck for loading your magazines.
 
A couple of years ago I fell off the roof of my house. I broke my right wrist. After my left wrist recovered (I sprained that one) I started shooting with my left hand. Since I am left eye dominant my results were actually close to shooting with my right (prior to the break).

Funny that some guns I have that I never liked shooting much with my right hand feel better shooting with my left.
 
Shoot with your left, keep a couple fingers handy on the right for mags.

I'm just starting out, but once I become proficient with my right, I'm going to start spending equal range time on the left and right hands. I'd ultimately like to be evenly (and superbly) skilled with both hands.
 
cycle the slide with one hand, your left.
it's easy.
I do it all the time to be cool.

I don't know what the technique is called, but just watch Saraph do it at the bottom of the elevator in matrix revolutions..

forgot to mention, if you find it too hard, remember to #### the hammer before cycling the slide... cycling with a cocked hammer is easy for one hand.
 
Well, speaking from a sprained wrist and 3 dislocated fingers(pinky to middle finger), it may be possible to shoot with a broken hand, albeit very painful.

Use a speedloader first off and fit the mag in your elbow of your broken arm and hold it tight by flexing. Then feed the rounds into the mag.
Use your good hand and pull the slide back using the back of the gun for leverage. Thumb on the back, fingers on the slide.
With the gun laying in its side, slide in the mag. Press it in with your working hand. Pick it up. Fire one handed. Hell, you could even #### it about 10-20 degrees inward to the body from vertical to make it easier.

But that's just my $0.02.

Cheers
 
most of what I know about one handed operation will get you DQ'd at an IPSC match, but here goes - you can operate the safety with the left hand trigger finger, also the mag release, you just have to change your grip. You can operate the slide in 2 ways, if you don't have a full length guide rod the safest way is to put the front lower edge of the slide (beneath the bushing) against something hard and push straight out, if however you have a full length guide rod you get to use the much less desirable, and not as safe - this means "don't do it for real unless you have to" - sight catch. You catch the rear sight on your belt and push the muzzle down and away from your leg, this works much better if the hammer is back. For what it's worth these are only supposed to be used in life or death situations.

Use left hand wiith following procedure:
1) Insert mag in pistol.
2) While holding pistol in left hand, stick slide between butt cheeks.
3) Squeeze butt cheeks hard. (This helps if you are a tight ass)
4) Push downward to rack the slide. (It helps if you have low profile sights)
5) Should you start to bleed, apply pressure until bleeding stops and use somebody elses butt, til yours has healed.
6) Get yourself a girlfriend to prevent any future wank injuries. :D
 
1) Slip unloaded gun in to waist band behind hip on left side
2) Insert loaded mag
3) Grab gun and point it downrange
4) Lean back away from the backstop
5) Rotate gun so the rear sight is pointing down
6) Catch the rear site on your belt, and push the gun forward, cycling the slide.
7) You either have a loaded gun, or a jammed gun and your pants around your ankles.
