I agree with Lee, this nerve/wrist damage is over blown. I will be 62 in January and it has never been a problem for me. My first 475L was delivered in time fro the 88 hunting season. So I have been shooting them for a long time. Hand arm strength and joint condition is important for sure. I do not have arthritis to my knowledge and do not see the ill effects of shooting these revolvers

I have to agree with Lee And JWP, I haven't been shooting anywhere close to the amount of time they have, but I will say being a gym rat I shoot better when I am have been lifting vs not. I am not a doctor but have stronger wrists and forearms will protect your ligiments and reduce injury, I am a big fan of these to improve grip strengh heavygrips.com/

Not wanting to start a debate,BUT the problems can arise when one that shoots big ass wrist twisting handguns BUT at the same time has a career that REQUIRES fine motor skills with hands and fingers or a career that is naturally hard on fingers hands and wrists..

Found an 11lb gripmaster too: www.amazon.com/Gripmaster-Pro-Strengthening-Extra-Heavy-Tension/dp/B000UMHUSI/ref=pd_sim_sg_2Just like all things, a little is good, more can be bette, but too much... is too much. If your other hobbies or your profession are already taxing your hands and wrists, maybe give them a break! While we are all "created equal", we really aren't all exactly the same. Some of us are bigger and stronger and some of us are smarter and some of us have some natural talent. If you have wrists like a twig, maybe stick to .357s.... if you have wrists like a tree stump, you're probably not going to have trouble with big bore handguns.
