Which backstrap insert do you use??

[Smith357]

I was just wondering...


I use the small and have heard that everyone uses the small, so I though I would try to get a small sampling of data from the users here and see if that internet rumor has any truth to it.

On my 990L I use Medium.

 

[xopher88x]

Small for me. I can't stand the feel of any "palm swell" type grip. I have small hands.

Same here. Small all the way. Tried the other two but don't care for them with my hand size.

 

[Tom Beavert]

Large

I have long fingers, the large just grips batter.

Small...even though my hands are on the large size, I prefer a solid wraparound grasp on the pistol for control and followup shots.
Both medium and especially large make the grip a bit club-like and do not afford the control I desire.

 

[Bevo1]

I use the large, but I'm also a recovering GLOCK user, so I was more used to a big, blocky grip.

 

[Zell]

Probably the medium if that's what it comes installed with. It was perfect out of the box.

 

[xfarfuldog]

Small. What you have heard about men with small hands is not true!

 

[Stan12]

Medium is most comfortable as a grip, but I had to switch to large after I installed DCAEK because trigger now goes off at too far to the rear. So with largest backstrap it is a little more comfortable with a trigger work.

 

[Smith357]

So far it looks like Medium is winning. Who would have known, the stuff I saw on the internet about the small grip being the most popular was wrong.

 

[40fan]

Medium for me.

 

[robrossk]

small is most comfortable

 

[PATRONE]

The small gives me the best trigger control.

 

[cshoff]

I use the large on my M&P40c. The medium actually "feels" more comfortable, but I can manage the recoil MUCH better with the large insert installed (I can get more skin in contact with the grip).

 

[Knightrider03m]

Large in both compact and full size.

 

[blkpitbull]

I use the small now, I used the medium for about 200 rounds, changed to the small and it was night and day difference.....small here

 

[cololab]

So far, the large seems to feel better. I'll play around with the others to see what really works best.

 

[Whtwolf14]

I put the small on my 9c..

**Edit** just switched to the Med and I'm liking it better than the small one.

I tried them all of course. The medium on my full size 9 and .45 are what I have ended up with.

They are not the same, however. The .45 is larger overall, and the distance to the trigger, circumfrence of the grip, are larger. I wish I could make them feel the same, it is not possible though. They still feel pretty darn good though, better than any other plastic pistol I have picked up.
