In my quest to perfect the thumbs-forward grip I'm still frustrated with the fact that the grip varies in comfort from day to day. Given that, how do you tell that a gun fits your hand properly, aside from "well this feels good"? My G19 with a Hogue feels fantastic in my hand but it makes the grip too big for thumbs-forward.
I have probably average hands with skinny fingers. I find however that the largest backstrap on my M&P fills out my hand comfortably, whereas the medium and smalls feel too skinny.
To me the gun fits my hand properly. I have no issue reaching the trigger and my strong hand fingers wrap around the grip enough to form a solid, one-handed grip. Oddly enough though I like my Hogue on my G19 even more, and it's a fat beast. Too fat though for thumbs-forward as it causes my strong-hand fingers to get in the way of my support hand, which lacks the length in fingers to wrap around properly.
Just curious to hear how others determine the proper fit for their hands...
