I have a Taurus PT1911 and was wondering how you get that flat thingy off to get to the firing pin?

Why not then?
Move your paper 4ft to the left......
LOL.
... or you could check the rails and make sure they're mounted solidly. If they are then the next step would be to check that the rings are lined up. I had a forward ring that, incredibly enough, was canted to the left ever so slightly and threw my windage off in addition to slightly damaging my scope tube when tightened...
Sig, do you have any tips/advice for someone with a bad wrist who still wants to shoot pistol? To tl;dr the story, my right wrist is essentially screwed thanks to a pair of sprains that didn't heal right, so pretty much anything snappier than a full-size 9mm is painful to shoot.
I'm in the same boat but my particular injuries aren't a problem as long as my wrist is firmly locked. Unfortunately, after consulting with doctors I expect the condition to deteriorate over time and feel pretty sure that when I'm truly old, I'll be shooting left-handed with anything that kicks at all.I have tendonitis in my right wrist...I feel your pain.
Well the obvious answer is something in .22lr, though I know .22 ammo is impossible to find lately.
You mentioned full-size 9mm. Do you currently shoot one? You might try Atlanta Arms & Ammo's I9147 load (reman 147gr at ~880fps out of a Glock 17). I've found that it shoots very soft compared to many other 9mm loads. REMAN AMMO
Last time I reloaded a batch of 9mm, it was 147gr and on a minimum load of Blue Dot. It was not reliable, and needed probably another half a grain to get there. Point being, the recoil was ridiculous. It was literally like a snappy .22lr, so not much of anything. If you reload at all, I'm sure you can reload 147gr above that minimum load I did, and below the AA&A 147gr load I mentioned (which is at 130 power factor for competition), and have a really soft level of recoil.
Also, you could try shooting with your other hand, and possibly shooting one hand only with that other hand.
I have tendonitis in my right wrist, some of it due to stupidly overdoing it with grip strength training years ago. So I feel your pain.
Follow-up to Blind Sniper's question - Do you think gun design can help? My H&K P7 PSP, for example, feels "soft" to me even with full-power loads. The low bore axis and gas retardation seem to make it more pleasant to shoot than the size and weight would initially indicate.
I mounted a scope on a rifle, and it shot literally 4 feet to the left at 100 yds. I checked the scope, and it was centered dial-wise. I guess I need to remount it with some sort of something. How do I get this thing on paper so I can fine tune my sighting in?
