A year ago I broke my weak side elbow in three points and suffered acromioclavicular separation (separated shoulder) when a car hit me as I was riding my bicycle. I have worked hard at the gym and the arm is as good as it is going to be now, it's actually strong and works OK. The elbow makes some weird noises at times and can suddenly become sharply painful, but overall I am OK.
Recently I have noticed that when I practice weak hand only I experience a lot of FTE's and am basically limp wristing a lot. The issue is particularly marked when I shoot a USP compact with which I want to do BUG matches and that I plan to carry in the winter. It seems it has a stiff recoil spring, but I have zero issue shooting strong hand only so it's not an ammo issue (even though I suspect I might be a little bit light) or a gun issue.
I have tried to strenghten my strong arm close to my chest in order to stiffen the torso as much as possible, and have tried both tilting the gun and keeping it straight, but nothing seems to work. Am at loss, and looking for practice ideas and suggestions to eliminate this problem.
