"...I have big hands..." That'll do it. Too small can usually be fixed with a change of grips. Doesn't have to cost a fortune either, but it will not make a firearm more accurate. However, you'll always be able to shoot a firearm that fits you properly better than one that doesn't. Shooting a particular piece of kit better on a range will also boost your confidence in that firearm. Makes a difference. Oh and all new firearms require a trigger job due to frivolous law suits. That matters too.
The sight radius has very little to do with accuracy. A 2" Smith M19, for example, will shoot just as well as a 6". Trigger and trigger control, sight picture, breathing, ammo and barrel are far more important.
"...your quick draw..." Isn't anywhere near as important as making the shot count.
