Gun Ban?!?! Palm Pistols For Disabled & Elders Out Soon

With the spate of gun crimes and the talk of banning guns in the US, thinking of creating guns for the elderly and disabled should be far from the mind, but a company in New Jersey has designed a T-Handle 500 Palm Pistols.


The company said the single-shot weapon was specially designed to be used by “women, seniors and [the] disabled” — particularly those affected by arthritis — and is triggered by a button pressed by the thumb instead of an index finger trigger.

“It is an adaptive aid intended for seniors, disabled or others with grip limitations due to hand strength, manual dexterity or phalangeal amputions. The zero bore axis eliminates muzzle rise during firing and directs recoil forces directly into the palm. It can be fired using the thumb or combinations of other fingers,” the company said.

The company said the initial 500 Palm Pistols will be priced at $1,350 each and will be available from December.
