I need to find a gun that my small, weak hands can operate

You want a revolver so you won't have the rack the slide, probably a lightweight .38 special with a standard load. Have a custom spring installed to make the trigger pull lighter.

If that is too much to handle, perhaps a .22 magnum would do.

I think a revolver would be best to try. I really can’t do slides. I’ve tried. Thank you for your advice.
