    Ah, it all comes back to me those grips were made out of tusk #47, a little 70 pounder sport hunted and imported in 1905,is well documented.

    Default Handguns that Fit

    This question for me really separates my gun use from any other hobbies. At this stage of my life, I have one handgun. It fits perfectly. Glock 19 with some functional modifications. Stainless guide rod and non captive recoil spring, modified spring and connector for smoother trigger pull while keeping the pull weight a constant 5lbs. I shoot my gun and my gun only at the range. I train with my gun. If I were to ever buy another gun, it would be another G19 modified in exactly the same ways. My gun is merely a tool. I love pretty guns, but I like to be consistent with my training. Pretty much the exact opposite of any other hobby.

    So for me, the gun that currently fits is my G19 and it is probably the only defensive gun I will own unless I buy a duplicate. I would buy other handguns, but not for that perfect fit.

    +1 for Glock. I carry a gen 4 27 and love it. My first pistol was a Glock 17, which may be part of the reason they're so comfy to me. The other nice thing is the glock .40's and 9mm all have the same size frame, so I can swap in my 17 if I'm wearing more/larger layers in colder weather. G27 in a galco ankle glove and I forget it's even there, very comfy!

    I had a walther PPK. it's a nice weapon but they have a rep for jamming easily. I also have a Derringer in 45 long colt, it fits anywhere. probably my small Glock in 40cal is the ideal for me.

    I also like the looks of the james bond gun but when I shot the thing it would hurt my fingers. not enough room between the grip and trigger .

    That's awesome - I am glad you guys like your Glocks!! I don't mind my Glock 26 (it needs new sites though). I mean it fills a role as any tool does. But I can't say I am that passionate about it, or that it "fits" me.

    I'll say this Hirlau - those are beautiful pieces! Very nice! Moreover, the 1911 fits! Just too big for me !

    Again,,,I'm going with the "Title" of the thread. No other handgun "fits" my hand like the 1911,,but my daily carry is a Glock 19, & no she's not pretty, but she is the tool for the job.

    ,,,I take it that's a Model 66, Pixel??
