which hand gun fits your hand the best?

[rubiranch]

I've never been big into guns until recently while going thru a large private collection.

I've had the opportunity to hold about 30-40 different handguns over the last few months with lots more to go thru.

They have been of several different manufactures and from .22s to a 500 S&W Magnum which I'm looking forward to shooting and lots of others in-between.

So far the one that "fits" the best is this Colt 1911.

I have more to go so maybe I'll find another one that seems to fit perfect too.

What fits you perfect to you??

The Star BM fits my hand like it was made for it.
Kind of a mutt gun, but it sure fits me nicely!

 

[Kanewpadle]

Don't own one, but the Kahr K9 fits my hand the best.

This will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me, or read any of my posts. The round butt K frames with magna grips and an grip adaptor works best for me.

Every handgun fits my hand. With the exception of competition handguns fitted with anatomic grips for hands smaller than mine.

Springfield XDm in 45 acp. 4.5" barrel. With the largest exchangeable back strap on the handgrip.

Colt 1911.
S&W K round butt.
Browning Hi Power.

Bought a used Glock 17 4th gen
Seller had added a back grip spacer.
Took it off.
The 4th gen change was a big improvement
grip wise.

There are a few that fit my hand well. I like K-frame targets. I like the Model 39. I like the 1911. I like Hogue wood for just about any revolver. But for me, the best fitting and feeling is by far the BHP.

K frames were made to fit my hand but autos were made to fit their magazines.

For me it's the Six Series double action Rugers with a Tyler T Grip.

In semi-auto's ..... CZ 75.

 

[rubiranch]

I was really surprised for some reason the first time I held that Colt.

Its never been fired and I don't think I'll ever fire it either so now I'm looking for another one to shoot.

I like the feel of my S&W 28-2 also.

 

[Warren Sear]

There is a lot to be said about the grip on the CZ75. And, of course, S&W K and N frame revolvers.

Edit to add: Oooops, I see post #10 was added while I was typing mine. Well, we do agree, anyway!

BHP for me, as well. A Model 39 isn't too far behind.

Ruger SR-1911

For revolvers, I'd probably say a K-frame round-butt with PGS Hideout non-grooved, non-textured grips.

For semi-autos, while I have neither owned nor fired one, the Sig P239 seemed to fit my hand best.

 

[mrchuck]

I have 2 that fit perfectly.
S&W model 60 357 rubber factory stock.
KAHR CW45 stock grip.
Both have heavy recoil but one hand still has 100% control.
I do use 2 hands with stance as trained many years back in the Academy.
Both handguns have an outstanding recoil.
Not for girly girls.

Colt 1911

John Browning seems to have known a lot about ergonomics before anyone knew ergonomics existed.

 

[Rustyt1953]

My gun hand is fairly promiscuous. It is not a butt snob.

 

[pawngal]

K-frame round butt, with Herrett Shooting Star grips.

 

[Minorcan]

The Luger P08 then the 1911 then I’m open minded but the S&W J and K frames come to mind.
