I also have shoulder and hand problems. I've found that the New Vaquero using a light .38 load works great. A 130gr LRNFP over 4.2 gr of Trail Boss has very little recoil. My Marlin is also chambered in .38 and has zero recoil. I use a 97 with a 2.5 inch recoil pad and Winchester extra lights, which have very soft recoil. Many local clubs offer a Roy and Dale category which let's you pass on the shotgun if you are unable to use it.
