![]() Shoes with thick soles and extra cushioning can reduce pain with standing and walking. In addition to exercises like the ones mentioned above, a physical therapy program may involve specialized ice treatments, massage, and other therapies to decrease inflammation around the plantar fascia. Your doctor may suggest that you work with a physical therapist on an exercise program that focuses on stretching your calf muscles and plantar fascia. Using the medication for more than 1 month should be reviewed with your primary care doctor. Medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen reduce pain and inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Rolling your foot over a cold water bottle or ice for 20 minutes is effective. This exercise is best done in the morning before standing or walking. The fascia should feel like a tight band along the bottom of your foot when stretched. Place your other hand along the plantar fascia. If it is difficult to reach your foot, wrap a towel around your big toe to help pull your toes toward you. Grasp the toes of your painful foot and slowly pull them toward you in a controlled fashion. Cross your affected foot over the knee of your other leg. This stretch is performed in the seated position. A strong pull in the calf should be felt during the stretch. Repeat this exercise 20 times for each foot. Hold the position for 10 seconds and relax. To stretch the calf muscles and the heel cord, push your hips toward the wall in a controlled fashion. Place the other leg in front, with the knee bent. And Springfield Armory's copying of everything Kimber does.Lean forward against a wall with one knee straight and the heel on the ground. I think the choices Kimber made, and their sales success has done as much to popularize this stuff as any other single thing. Just in the last 20 years there's been so much innovation, more than the previous 80 years combined. Somebody should compile a "modern history" of the current state of the 1911. The upswept ones popular now a later development. They actually look like beaver's tails and you can see where the name comes from. The early beavertails were not the upswept ones we see on Kimbers, but they were downturned and flattened like Colt still makes. King's makes a beavertail that supposedly fits a spur hammer, so you don't need a commander hammer to have a beavertail. But the common ones today are elongated ring or Nastoff style, which is a later development. The Commander was the 'ring' style or Rowell style. As noted above, it probably doesn't matter to most of us mortals in any normal use.Īctually the most common style of hammer seen such as Kimbers, etc, isn't the real Commander hammer. The lighter hammer does fall faster, so there is a perceived speed up of lock time. Some of the newer hammers are titanium or some such. They aren't legal on hardball guns, but my wadcutter 45 sure has one.Ī proper grip safety will completely avert hammer bite, no matter what kind of hammer you have. (Except for one target pistol with a shortened grip safety and hammer… that liked to dug all the way through the web of my hand!) So, a wide (beavertail) grip safety with an upsweep protects me. I'm getting gored or abraded or gouged by the tip of the grip safety. I'm not getting pinched between the hammer and the grip safety. I've been bit with all three basic types of hammers and two or three grip safety configurations. I've been bit with GI surplus guns and commercial guns and GI match grade hardball guns and guns I put together myself. I got bit when I was skinny, I get bit now I'm fat. Some claim it's to avoid hammer bit, but I have my suspicions. Click to expand.Truthfully, I think it's mostly style, or the 'cool' factor. ![]()
