which hand gun fits your hand the best?

[arjay]

GM with a long trigger
N frame with cokes
I like the look of diamond targets and magnas on a K frame,but neither fits my hand

 

[Kurusu]

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

Have to admit that the P.08 is one of the handguns that fit my hand best.

 

[rubiranch]

Ruger SR-1911

that looks like it might fit mine too

 

[ladder13]

CZ75D compact no question.

 

[rubiranch]

Colt 1911

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

There are a lot of revolvers that just don't look right to me and don't fit me well either.

 

[rubiranch]

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

great explanation

 

[NYlakesider]

A stock 1911 fits my hand real well, the next is the Luger as being mentioned in a couple other posts.

I read a long time back and think it was said by Jeff Cooper. If I'm wrong please correct me as it was many years ago.

A auto pistol was designed to fit a hand well, a revolver was designed to fit a tentacle well.

1. K frames
2. Sig P226
3. 1911
4. The rest of the original P-series Sigs.

I have fairly large hands so I can handle most of the medium to larger handguns. When I get to something like a Walther PPK or smaller I need a finger extension on the magazine.

My hands are on the small side, but my M1911A1s seem to be just the right size for me. I also have a set of N frame Bear Hug stocks I had custom made back in the mid-80's by Deacon Deason. Those are on my pre-24 and fit great.

S&W MP 45 midsize with the medium grip.

#1 is a tie between a 1911 (either compact or full size) and the M&P with the small backstrap (any frame size as well).
#2 is also a tie between a round butt K or round butt N when each is wearing the Pachmayr Compac grip.

My problem is, every handgun I pick up fits my hand so well I want to buy it.

 

[Farmer17]

My Browning HP comes to mind first, then my 1911 .45 with long trigger and flat main spring housing, and a CZ75 is good also. In revolvers a K/L frame with targets is OK but a bit big at the bottom, my Ruger stainless Security Six with Herret Shooting star grips is better, and my 4" Highway Patrolman with Jarwuan P. combat grips is very good.

 

[sheepdawg]

My Luger and my CZ82.

 

[Vulcan Bob]

Hands down its the M-39 for me!

 

[Texas Star]

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!

Is that a Ross holster, from South Africa? How'd you come by that?

I agree that the CZ-75B does have a terrific grip.

I also like the Colt .45 auto, the S&W M-66 with Pachmayr Presentation grips, my GP-100 with Pachmayr Grippers, and the S&W J-frames with Tyler adapter or the Pachmayr Presentation Compac grip, the older, two panel style.

The S&W M-39 feels very good in my hand, but the only one I've shot gave very poor accuracy.

If the Beretta M-9 is too fat for your hand, try their M-92FS. That almost invisible indentation on the backstrap works wonders!

I've read that Wm. Shatner, who played Admiral Kirk in the Star Wars films, held a Colt .45 auto and liked the feel so well that he had the next generation of movie phasers incorporate a very similar grip. I don't think he's a "gun guy" at all, but even he picked up on the feel of the old Colt auto.

Browning Hi Power

anything bigger than a k frame is too big for me.
but, after i shoot any gun 3,000-4,000 rounds, it feels like part of my arm.
that's when the gun becomes magic.
