My 27(baby Glock in .40 ) is great, but I am more accurate with a larger model. I tried to conceal the 23, but it just was a no go on my frame. The accuracy isn't that much if a difference, but it's there.agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227069281563782835.post-60128018097621296942012-01-11T20:24:08.690-08:002012-01-11T20:24:08.690-08:00I find this problem a lot.

Boss Man was fanatical about making sure we took the time to properly fit a gun to a person's hand (man or woman) and explain to them how important it is to their shooting. In fact, I'm such a believer in gun fit that I did a post on it a few months ago.<br /><br />I loved my Glock, and I shot it well, but it didn't fit my hand, no matter how much I wanted it to. I switched to a 1911 and my skills went through the roof - just because I finally got a gun that fit.GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227069281563782835.post-43590642162792025452012-01-11T18:22:41.353-08:002012-01-11T18:22:41.353-08:00I agree about fit!

Two have been deliberate purchases, others have been impulse purchases. We own three Ruger Mark II pistols (.22LR). Why? Because every pistol has a different size grip. It is because 5 of us in our family shoot & the Rugers are "communal property". My kids used my Ruger (smallest grips) when younger & progressed through the pistols until they stopped growing. Also, I plan to acquire the same amount of pistols per (adult) children so that each will have one.JustSumStuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960619433095142066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227069281563782835.post-78935173851587285742012-01-11T15:49:13.347-08:002012-01-11T15:49:13.347-08:00I completely agree that it's all about fit.

I don't think you are being too picky, it is like shoes, they need to fit you. I have a Ruger LCP .380, it is incredibly difficult to shoot and control. I have to lock my wrist pretty hard and it still jams every few rounds. I have used it as a backup last resort but never as a primary. I looked up the Taurus .45 ACP and it only weights 22.6 ounces! Before spending the money I would look for a chance to fire one. I carry a Glock 19 (9mm) as a conceal gun, with the right holster you can conceal a full size semi-auto. I just bought a Glock 26 (9mm) as a back up. Just personal preference and my experience with Glock has been very good. The thing to remember is that you need to be comfortable and feel comfident with your gun. Sometimes that means shopping and trying a few different guns. Understand that the smaller the gun, the more difficult it is to shoot accurately and that a small gun in a higher caliber can be especially difficult. <br />Stay Safe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227069281563782835.post-49647156242082707442012-01-11T13:05:45.617-08:002012-01-11T13:05:45.617-08:00I use my husband's Glock and it fits fine but ...I use my husband's Glock and it fits fine but I don't feel it's for me.
