I injured my right hand in an incident with a log splitter last September. I will end up with a stiff pinky finger.
This does not lend itself to the cup/push/pull modified Weaver that I have used for the past forty years.
Does anybody on here have the same problem and how do you deal with it?

I don't have the same issue, but I suggest you start by calling Herretts grips. If you send them a hand tracing and discuss what your new needs are, I bet they can help retrofit your hoglegs and accomodate development of your own unique shooting style.

Are you saying you can make a fist with all fingers except your right pinky?
If so, by using your left hand, can you push your right pinky into the correct position to make a fist?

Right pinky is fused straight. We won't be doing any bending on it. :^). Ring finger has about 50% use and getting better. The problem is more getting a grip without hurting the pinky. Need it out of the way altogether.
Thanks for the help though and please keep it coming.

You may try gripping the pistol lower with the injured hand with your little finger straight then with the uninjured hand take a higher grip.

Try reversing 2 hand grip. Grip with left hand, trigger control with toght. Might work.

Jayhawker that just might be the ticket. Just tried a few dry fire and the pinky is out of the way and not likely to get thum ped with the recoil. I'll try it for real after I get the chores don, thanks.
