 Might not be a problem.  I have carpal tunnel syndrome, plus some other 
 computer related aches and pains.  However I can still put in a couple of 
 hours putting lead down range without it bothering my hands. I shoot .38,
 .357 and 9mm. The wrist braces do help.  When my hands are giving me a lot
 of trouble I wear them while working on the computer.
... You haven't had fun unless the magazine's empty.
