Which 9mm for Frankenstein-size hands?

[Pietro Beretta]

I have very large hands also (size 13 shoe) and ive owned about 5 Beretta's ...and are a perfect fit for my large hands.

AF2011.


If your avatar is actually you, it may even be too small!

Holy... wow. Made me Google it to see if it was real.
"The AF2011-A1 holds amazing and surprising target performance for the shooter: in fact, it will group all the 8 double .45 caliber rounds (16 bullets) held in the duplex, single columns magazines, in a target of the size of an orange at 15 yards and of a water melon at 25.

The stopping power of the AF2011-A1 is tremendous: 2 bullets for a total of 460 Grains weight impacting at 1 to 2 inches apart (depending on the distance of the target) will knock down a bull, while the whole 18 bullets, for a payload exceeding 4000 Grains, can be delivered to the target in about 3 seconds."
Price is Unreal though. 6-7k?

I've got giant man hands as well; both my Sig 220 Combat (45ACP) and the Bersa Thunder Pro 9 (9mm) I have fit well. The Bersa is definitely smaller with grip size than the Sig, but by no means uncomfortable.

A double stack 1911 style gun has a rather bulky grip which might serve you well. And I'm not talking about that twin barrel 1911 posted up a few spots above. Just a double stack 1911 which are also known as "2011's".

The Gen 3 Glocks were also pretty big and blocky for my tastes. A lot like the Berreta 92 in that way.

You can also get wrap around grips for the 92 which make the grip even fatter and in particular longer from front to back. At that point it should fit a gorilla's hands pretty well....

Why do you wear Shoes on your Hands?

Well lads, I have fair sized hands, large to the extent that not every size XXL glove will fit me, but with my skinny gripped, over the shelf, non-adjustable Ruger Mk 2, I can wing shoot mosquitoes, and also save bucks on paper targets because I can keep shooting through the same hole.

At least, that was subjectively the case until Federal .22 LR became unavailable in Canada but that is another story.

A Browning Hi Power has room for a good sized hand, and they are a real nice pistol to shoot.

+1 for a hi power, i also have frakenstien hands and a hi power fits very nice in them

Hi Powers are nice slim single stacks...much better suited for smaller hands?

I have rather large hands and I found that a jerico 941 in steel fit very comfterbly.

I have a norinco np28........basically a 9mm 1911....but with a double stack mag. .....it is a bit fatter in the grips

Gen 4 Glock or M&P with large grip inserts should work well with large hands. A BHP, if anything, would be on the list of guns for small hands; they are infamous for hammer bite and this will be exacerbated by large hands. The length of the grip is also a bit on the short side.

Glock with the adjustable grips. Had a gen 3 17 which felt ok. Once I tried the gen 4, the gen 3 was sold along with the Beretta 92. Gen 4 Glock all the way now.

If you're willing to step up to a .45, the 21/41 with the large back strap is awesome.

 

[IanC]

I can tell you right now dont buy a 1911, much too small for mega mitts like mine!

 

[sgt.rock]

My vote is for the 1911..................any of them such as a S.A.M. or Norinco NP29

 

[CZ452NORTH]

Glock 17 gen4. It comes with different sized grip. should meet all requirements.

No. The HP is a double stack and has a fat grip.

I have medium large hands. I find the Norico double stack 9mm 1911 (NP28) a bit too fat for my hand. I installed thin grips on it. It is fatter than my Para Ord double stack 45s.
