New buyer with XXL hands

Hi. I am totally new to guns. I’ve been to the range a few times. I know everyone says I need to rent different models before buying, but does anyone have recommendations to start with to rent for someone with XXL hands? Thanks!

Transitioning from optic to irons?

3 Upvotes

I’ve pretty much been exclusively shooting with optics since I’ve gotten into the hobby. I really want to get into shooting irons… revolvers mainly, but I’d like to take the dots off one or two of my guns and use the factory irons.

Every time I do, I’m having a lot of trouble focusing. I end up closing one eye so that I can line the sights up properly.

Anyone have any tips for transitioning between red dot and irons? Just more practice, or am I missing something? I’d like to get to the point where I can bring red dots and iron sights to the range on the same day, and use them both.

Best holster for OWB carry

3 Upvotes

Its getting to be winter and here in michigan that meams dressing in layers. This can make it hard to conceal everywhere I am going. I want to have an OWB holster with some kind of active retention but i dont want a drop leg holster or anything that looks too tactical.

My edc for this type of weather is a walther pdp compact with 4" barrel. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions outside of a typical duty holster like safariland.

Looking for a second range handgun. Which would you choose?

• Upvotes

I'm looking to pick up a second handgun primarily for range use. My first handgun is a CZ P-10 C Ported, and this time I'm considering something that accepts Glock magazines.

I'm not in the US, so my options are somewhat limited to what's available locally or can be ordered through local dealers.

Here are the options I'm considering:

  • Glock 19 Gen 6
  • Ermox XP Pro (standard or compensated version)
  • Derya DY9 Island
  • BUL Armory Axe C Pro
  • Staccato C4X (although this one costs nearly 5x as much as the others)

The biggest issue is that most of these handguns are special-order items, so I have no way to rent or shoot them before purchasing.

Since I already own a ported CZ P-10 C, I'm wondering whether I should go with another compensated/ported handgun or try something different.

I'm mainly interested in shooting experience, reliability, trigger quality, ergonomics, and overall value.

For those who have experience with any of these, which would you choose and why? Is there one that particularly stands out, or one you'd avoid?

Eternal Slide Bite - M&P 2.0 Competitor Steel HD

1 Upvotes

With the M&P 2.0 Competitor Steel HD I consistently run into my thumb, specifically the thumb "knuckle" (CMC joint, basal joint, the portion closest to the rest of the hand) rising up a touch and getting split with the reciprocating slide. I run into this issue with some other firearms that do not feature a beavertail. I was under the impression you want to get a high purchase with your dominant hand. Do I need to instead bring it down a smidge? It feels wrong to hold the firearm in this manner. My current theory is this slide bite issue is a result of the unique structure of my hand, if it isn't some fundamental misunderstanding about proper grip.

If it is a result of my unique hand, is there a custom gun smith out there that can make a permanent beavertail on a steel frame?
