Sub-compact for large hands

[jkmonte07]

In the market for a new sub-compact and wanted to get some recommendations from others. I have fairly large hands and want something that's going to provide good control. I've shot the Sig P365 with the extended 12 round and that was good, but I'm sure there are a lot of options I haven't considered.

What are your recommendations from those with large hands?

 

[STEEL CORE]

A Glock-27 with a Glock part #7151 (+) magazine baseplate extension included.

 

[Sniper 79]

Large framed Glocks won't disappoint.

Do you want sub compact as in single stack or double stack?

I have pretty big mit's. I carry a G30. Its not exactly sub compact (more of a compact) but its close enough for me.

I would be open to either, I've generally found single stack not to fit large hands as well.

Same ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Single stacks, outside of a 1911, feel wonky in my hands.

Don't feel a need for an extension on the G30?

Don't feel a need for an extension on the G30?

No sir. I'm 6'3, 280ish, and I can get my pinky on.

Another benefit of the 30 is I have 11 RDS of 45ACP. I do not carry a spare mag on my (keep some in the truck), but I feel if I cant do it with 11 RDS of 45, I probably cant do it with 20 RDS either.

I shuffled through EDC pistol's for years, but when I bought the 30, I haven't followed pistols since.

My vote is for a Glock 26/27 with an Xgrip adapter using 19/23 mags.

I recommend that you go to a place with large selection of rentals (Point blank in Carmel) and try different brands, I use large size gloves and I really like my G43X. What I think feels good may not be the same for you I think it is personal preference just have to try it for yourself.

Not to derail but sometimes its not about capacity but rather a defense against Murphy.

Well depending on how big you want to go, cz just came out with a new p10s which is a little bigger than a Glock 26 but holds 12. I’m a fan of the 26 but it doesn’t fit everyone’s hands.

I would be open to either, I've generally found single stack not to fit large hands as well.

I have pretty big/wide hands and the Shield .45 with the +1 mags fits my hand like a glove. Another option that works well for me is something like and XDM 3.8 or APX Centurion with full size mags.

If you have big 'mitts' and don't mind a double-stack, but yet want something a bit lighter to carry, check out the Glock 30S...it's the same Glock 30 frame but has the 'thinner' Glock 36 slide mounted to it and it's about 4 oz lighter for EDC. The best part is, if you wanted to use the Glock 21 13-round magazine and a Pierce or EZ-grip extension, it'll work too!

I wear a XXL glove and my M&P Shield 9mm fits my hand well! I think I actually shoot it better then larger pistols.

 

[Expat]

The H&K P30sk with a 13 round mag gives you a pretty good grip.

 

[lawyers guns and money]

I keep going back to the glock 43. Just add a pearce finger ext to the mag. I'm confident one of the newer glocks will fit your needs. Just go out and handle them.
