Not single stack but Walther PDP-F. Is your issue that the circumference of the grip is too large or the distance from the back to the trigger is too far? The PDP-F should fix both either way.
Medium/Large I do believe, I don't have access to a tape measure right this sec.
Medium to large hands shouldn't have any issue with most of the wonder 9s, they're made for the masses not gigachads with xxxl hands with 200lb grip strength. I would suspect it's not a grip size issue, nor a grip strength issue, but a training issue. Ben Stoeger has been a big proponent of not trying to wrestle the gun but gripping it just enough to have it reliably return to your point of aim. Maybe the strain or issue you're dealing with the double stack 9s you've been shooting is you're gripping too strongly. Or maybe you really do not get on well with Glock or Beretta ergos.
Ahh, well you won't know until you try out a few and a great deal of it is preference, but I assure you Glocks are very wieldy for most people and as an engineer I hope you appreciate that they are remarkably simple in terms of # of parts and function.
Glock 48s feel real nice imo. I really like slender grips even though I don't have small hands and I find the Glock 48 feels good man. But you should really get your hands on them first. Go to a gun store or a gun show near you and get your hands on a bunch of different guns and figure out what feels right to you.
If you are a medium sized glove a G19 sized gun will be perfect. I prefer the CZ P-10C personally, but it's basically just a G19 with a better trigger and grip.
You want room for your support hand. I wear XL gloves and find the Glock too small, and have to use the large backstrap accessory.
You should go to a gun store that has a range and rentals. Asking around will get you good advice but there's no replacing getting your hands on something and actually shooting it for a bit. There's a zillion tiny little things that you can't account for that very quickly become evident when you're using things as they're intended (not just guns, stuff in general).
But then you would own a Springfield...
If you don't have previous experience with other handguns (see my sperging about grip angle a couple pages ago), and aren't enthusiastic about guns, the right answer is a police trade-in Glock 17 or 19, depending on body proportions. I don't even like Glocks, but they're the handgun equivalent of a dishwasher. Do you know the make and model of your dishwasher? Probably not, because it does the job it's made for with no fuss.
That's interesting...I've never run into that policy before. Must be an insurance or state thing.
My local range only requires you bring in your own gun if you’re renting a machine gun. They have a “rule of two” policy; you either have to bring in another gun or another person to prove that you’re responsible
Gun stores exist for this reason. Go finger fuck some. Just keep in mind most gun store employees are fucking retarded.
