A couple thoughts, the Tomcat has a tip-up barrel making it easier to chamber or clear,

second, the .327 federal fires any rimmed .32 cartridge allowing you to tailor your load to exactly what you can handle .

That was my thought also about a .32 revolver. You can shoot .327 Federal Magnum, .32 H&R Magnum, .32 S&W Long, or .32 S&W.

Have a question. 

Is your choice of smaller calibers due to the increased round count or also because of your hand being weak?

If it is just for the increased round count they do make accessories to facilitate one handed  manipulation of a Glock slide.

Round count will be high and of a larger caliber.

Magazine changes can be made one handed when the slide is held open with a few techniques for holding the gun under an arm or the bend of a knee or other ways after the spent magazine has been released. 

Then the slide can be operated to load a round from the fresh magazine using this Charging Handle and your belt or edge of a pocket or a handy hard surface to release the slide.

Don't know if any of this is a workable option for you, but it is something to consider if it can be made to work.

PabaBear,

Sorry for coming in so late.  I agree with Solus' comments.

Without more information it is hard for me to give you a 100% answer, but a couple things to consider are that a semi-automatic reduces the felt recoil through the action; even though we teach that misfires and jambs can be easier to handle in a revolver, for a person with limited hand use a semi-automatic can actually be the easier tool, and the increased magazine capacity of a semi-automatic can cut down on the number of reloads needed.

I hope these sketchy ramblings help.

I bet you could do THAT with hand signals, too.  :o

To all, I've medium sized hands or rather the use of only my left hand, with short fingers.  Thus the need to clear jams easily.  The j frame revolvers in 38, are too much for the hand to take at practice.

I've shot 9mm Glocks and Lugers, but I have to have my friend rack the slide and clear any issues that arise.

I prefer the .380 Walther PPK, same problem.

That is why I mentioned the Tom cat.  I was going to mix ball and hollow point in the magazine.  First two hp, the rest ball.

Check out the Beretta Model 86 ( I think they're still available) - bigger than the Tomcat and therefore MUCH easier to operate and it can't be a worse trigger than the Tomcat....because there isn't one!
