how to determine the size of one's hands??
how do you determine if one's hands are large/medium/small sized?
How do you measure it?
I mean if the grip is massive size then it would not be suitable for the medium/small size hands.
All of the information about measuring for glove size I was able to find, uses the measurement around the palm of the hand. For manipulation of the controls of a handgun the length of the palm and of the finger is much more important.

It seems to me that the measurement of the red line in the pic is more relevant than the measurement around your palm.

My hand measures 5" on that red line. I am able to manipulate a standard 1911 quite easily.
