    I too have a pretty good idea of what average is, I own a company that manufactures clothing and spend a lot of time doing custom sizing since there's a lot of people proportionally away from average ;).

    But that gets to my point. YOU may have finger length proportional to body size that is 2nd or 3rd sigma below the mean, but that's not the same as "small hands." And since most people who feel they have small hands really do have hands smaller than average, simply repeating the mantra "don't fit small hands" is doing a disservice to folks who listen to that and don't try something for themselves to see what fits. If you'd asked me if a G21 would fit my GF's hands before she shot the one I bought I would have said "no way." But after she picked mine up and proceeded to run a magazine through and be on paper with all shots at 10 yards which is something she'd never done before in a couple of thousand rounds of shooting various guns, she had to have one.

    Spin-off thread!

    The guy who taught my beginner's handgun course said that the 1911 was
    his favorite gun, but then proceeded to say that he carries a Glock. When
    I asked him why, he said if he ever had to shoot someone his gun would
    be confiscated and he would probably never get it back. In that case,
    if it was a Glock, he wouldn't care. :laugh:
