I am in the market to buy my first semi-automatice pistol, and the sole purpose for it is personal protection. I also applied and received my LTCH permit.
I have already test fired the following handguns:
1. Glock -- Model 19 and Model 23
2. SiG -- P229
3. Colt -- 1911
So far, aside from some minor preferences, I have had one universal problem. I have long slender hands and fingers (from the base of my wrist to the tip of my index finger is 8", and my index finger from the knuckle to the tip is 4") which has so far made it difficult for me to confortly position my index finger on the trigger.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me for trying out another handgun that could be minimize this problem, and meet my orginal goal of using it only for personal protection? I would love to get some feedback about this issue and maybe get some recommendations for pistols to try out!
