Dear INSIDERs,

Let's talk grip.

When you pick up a pistol, how it feels in your hand is usually one of the first things you notice, right? But finding the right fit goes beyond comfort. Where your fingers fall, how naturally you reach the trigger and whether you can get a solid hold on the frame all play a part in how a pistol feels when you bring it up to shoot.

Some pistols just feel right as soon as you pick them up, and others might feel uncomfortably awkward to hold. Knowing what to look for can help you figure out the difference, whether you're shopping for something new or comparing a few favorites at the range. And with so many options out there, it's worth taking the time to find what works for you.
