Which Gun Feels Like It Was Made For Your Hands ?

1911, long trigger, flat MSH, rubber grips.

I had a mil-spec springer a few years ago. Before I had it paid off I had a long trigger (a take-out from a colt 1991A1), a flat MSH, and Kimber rubber grips installed.

Bought a bunch of parts for it. Never installed them. The more I shot it, the less interesed I had in modifying it. Of the guns I've traded, I miss that $450 pistol the most.

P226/p228.

Ruger P97

for me:
Springfield "GI-45"
Ruger Vaquero (2003 vintage), not the "New Vaquero" with the smaller grips
S&W Mdl 10 4" Skinny Barrel
Ruger MK II 4-5/8" barrel

Obviously, my CZ P-01, but also my CZ 82. Just feels so good.

And for such a small gun, my Walther PPK/s just feels amazing.

My H&K USP Tactical .45, I love that gun!!!

One that I no longer own - a Walther PP - was a natural pointer

Steyr M9-A1....

Hk p7

Most any 1911s. S&W M&P. Sig single-stacks.

of the ones i own? my S&W Model 41. just point and shoot. NOTHING like my kel tec pf9 (which i also enjoy owning, just not so much shooting)

I fondled a CZ52 and a p64, both of which seemed to fit very comfortably. I will own one, if not both, before long.

Walther P99
CZ P01
Browning Hi-Power
Walther P88 Compact

I don't currently own one, but the top grip in my opinion used to be a 1911 with good grips and flat MSH.

I have since held a CZ 75 and am buying one.
The CZ 75 is tops for me.

Single stacked Sigs are also very good. Hi Powers too.
For a small revolver, the Taurus 85 is good.

It looks like 1911s and CZs are most popular in this thread with Sigs having a good showing.

At one time I had an old Remington bolt action 22 cal. I believe it was a model 511? Not sure as it`s been a long time ago. Anyway, that puppy
just seemed to jump to my shoulder and be pointed dead on. Sold it .
Stupid move.............:banghead:

For me it's the 1911.
The worst for me was a Taurus PT-945.

Glock. Any Glock. Definatly. Its like they made it for my hand.




I am a big fan.

While all the guns I own are comfortable and I have never held one I found particularly objectionable, I'd say the best in terms of fitting my hand was Smith & Wesson's M&P 40 I bought earlier this year.

Any thing not mounted on wheels, tracks or rails !!
Sorry couldn't help my self

Maybe comfort isn't the most important thing?

Maybe you focus more on fundamentals when your hand isn't 100% comfortable?
Holding and managing recoil are very different things, too. Perhaps you think about your grip when not as comfortable, and thus have a better hold?

I don't think I've ever held a gun that's felt like it belonged in my hands. Probably because I've got tiny, girl hands.

The closest I've come is my S&W 439.

Model 1911 (like many, I like the flat mainspring housing and long trigger) and the Colt SAA. Another winner is my 1938 Colt Woodsman.

I'd add the Luger, but I can't shoot a Luger. I get so fascinated watching the thingy go up and down that I forget to look at the sights.

My M77.

Somehow a plain and simple S&W M65 with altered Hogue wood grips fits fits my hand well.

1917 DWM Artillery Luger or 1917 Remington model 51. Both are so artfully made that they become a natural self sighting part of my body in my hand. Recoil is dispersed due to the design of the semi-auto action. What little recoil there is goes through the wrist rather than upon it. With the shoulder stock holster and range sights the Luger becomes a decent carbine for distance. Both are extremely accurate in the hands of even a novice shooter.

STI

As much as I love traditional all-steel 1911s (and I have several), my IPSC Limited gun, built on an STI frame, feels best in my hand. I have very long fingers, so I'm guessing the double stacked sized grip is why I like it so.

Of course, the best fit is my Bullseye gun, a traditional 1911 with a custom grip by Randall Fung. He builds them to spec with a photocopy of your hand. Perfect fit though nothing you could put into a holster.
