Grip circumference & width

Counsel Dew · December 25, 2009, 07:01 PM

I'd love to see data on several handguns re: the width and circumference of the grip. I see Overall Length, barrel length, Overall Height, and other data, but not a lot of data on grip circumference or width is provided.

I think my Sig P239's grip has a circumference of about 5.5", and the width is about 1 and 1/8 of an inch. Anyone mind posting their make/model and the circumference & width of their handgun's grip?

Thanks!

So I can't get a good measurement on grip circumference.

Also, with a lot of guns, it varies depending on exactly where (and how) you measure them. Revolvers tend to be the most variable. And another measurement you might want to consider is trigger reach. The distance from the back of the grip to the trigger. It makes a big difference for some folks.

When I get the time, (and the tape), I'll post a few.
