13** one handed pumping?

[pelletlauncher]

so, i broke my arm/wrist.  i'd appreciate recommendations on one handed pumping.  3 pumps is enough.  presently has a carbine stock; i can go back to pistol grips.  i'd like to leave the scope on.  thanks.

I can pump my gun with one hand just fine or have your girlfriend pump it for you

OK, I have practiced shooting and reloading all of my PB's, (shotguns, rifles, pistols, and revolvers) either handed and with one hand immobilized so upon seeing this post, I had to try it.
I don't have any trouble pumping if I'm sitting down.  I put the grips between my legs, grip with the thighs, and pump.  It works better if I situate it with one side of the grips (depending on which hand is doing the pumping) facing my crotch because with the sights facing me, I can't get much grip on the gun because my knees hit each other before my thighs grip very securely.  It's even easier with the stock on it.  With the stock on, I set the butt on the chair between my thighs, grip it between the thighs, and pump.  Either handed.  Works better with the pump handle facing facing away, so you can pull the scope or barrel into the stomach/chest area when closing the pump handle and not have to push into the opposite shoulder or elbow (which may be injured but probably not with just a wrist injury).
Standing up is a little more difficult.  I was able to put the pistol grips in the crook of my other arm while I pump.  With the stock on, I have to put the butt under my off armpit and clamp it there with the off arm and pump.  If you are in a sling, that ain't gonna work.  I was able to grip the butt under my right armpit and pump several pumps with my right hand simulating my left in a sling but it was a little awkward.  Also, I could open the pump handle just by holding the gun by the pump handle and letting the gun hang down and just opening it against the weight of the gun and then, with the pump handle open, put the scope or barrel against my chest and closing the pump handle.  Nothing too difficult though.
I should mention, I do have the 1389 pump handle on mine, the OEM 1377 pump handle would probably have you being more careful to prevent pinching clothes or off arm skin in it without the stock on.
Have fun with it.
Cheers,

Been there and done that, Boxer's fracture of the 5th metacarpal last year.

Pistol:
The way I pumped the 13xx was to rest the pistol grip on my leg, hold the back of the pistol with the bend of my elbow, cast hand, and pump with the good hand.

Rifle:
Rest buttstock on floor; lean rifle against the inside of my knee and pump with good hand.

I did the same thing last July. Couldn't afford to get the permanent cast so I just used the temporary one held on by Bandage wraps.
It's getting colder out now and man does it hurt when I'm outside for a while. Must not have healed right.

Bottom line - Let it heal correctly!

Fridge still has knuckle prints, except for the one that broke.

Cold weather is going to affect any broken bone, whether it was set right or not.

I stupidly punched a metal bathroom stall door after losing a several thousand dollar commission at a time when I REALLY needed the money. Very stupid, especially for someone my age (47).
I didn't hit it square and hit it mostly with the knuckle on my little finger. I guess the bone behind it breaks kind of easily.

Calcium deficiency? 

Edit after reading cmj's post. The stall door still has a dent in it too.
