Re: Where to carry after shoulder surgery?

Skip,

I've had both Shoulders done.

Depending on the extent of the surgery, your arm will be in a sling for 3 to 6 weeks. After that you'll be working on your range of motion in therapy sessions.

From my experience, the hardest motion to get back is the one were you would reach into your back pocket or try to scratch your lower back. Very similar to trying to graw from a holster.

You may not wanna hear this, but you may want to leave the pistol at home until you can confirm that your shoulder can handle the motions needed to draw and fire.

After my right shoulder surgery, I was unable to fire a rifle or shotgun for 6 months, but that one was very extensive.

Hope all goes well. Keep us posted.
