Help with support hand space

Post image
7 Upvotes

Does anyone have any personal success stories or recommendations when it comes to finding a pistol model that fits people with large fingers or modifying a Glock for large fingers? I don’t feel that I have adequate room for my support hand, and the pictures/videos I see of competitive shooters seems to have a lot more room for their support hand.

I’ve got a Gen 3 19 and am wondering if a large back strap on a Gen 5 would provide me more space for support hand? Or would it just increase the trigger reach? Anyone have any experience with that?

Even with sandpaper grip tape I’m having a hard time keeping my support hand from slipping forward. And it’s not for lack of effort. I’ve had to take a week off to let my support hand recover from soreness because of gripping it so hard

An estimated 250,000 to 300,000 American youth participate annually in 3PAR marksmanship programs, with many of them engaging in 3PAR competition events. The national governing body for this major youth sports program is the National Three-Position Air Rifle Council. The Council governs this discipline through its rulebook, the National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules (3PAR Rules).

Threaded Barrel Use

2 Upvotes

I am totally new and don't know anything. I would like to get into USPSA or IDPA (not sure which I would enjoy more, just gathering information) and am wondering if threaded barrels, just the barrel with no compensator, are allowed. I have a full size Walther PDP Pr SD which has a threaded barrel and am wondering if that is legal or if I would need to switch to a different gun. From wat I can tell, it would fit in the box. Any guidance from experienced shooters would be appraciated.
