Just kidding. Sorry about your finger and hope you can find a way to continue shooting.

How did you get cancer in that finger?

cancer was in the nailbed under the fingernail, looked like I had a splinter under the nail, a little black speck. But it wouldn't heal up, and being right hand dominant I was always bumping it digging for keys or change. Had 3 operations, each time removing the fingernail, last time at Emory who got all the tumor out and "cured" me.

The reason I asked is because I dip tobaccy and actually at one time I was afraid that was my problem.. anyways I tried shooting today with bird finger.. it can be done.. but I’m going to have to practice.. btw anyone who has a s&w M&p 40 cal they may wanta trade for something.. I may have a gun you’d be interested in.. those curved triggers seem to fit my nub pretty good.. so it seems so far

Index finger along the slide has to be the PUREST form of point shooting.

I mean sure, you've got to re-learn a lifetime's worth of trigger control. Finger position, sensing the reset etc. Even developing all the muscles in the finger.
