I would like to know the exact science of how to select a right pistol grip size for a given hand(s). How can the one tell if they selected proper gun or grip does not need adjustment? Or they just holding the pistol wrong.
For example, I followed common advice to go with common a striker-fired gun for competitions, which by surprise is coming with double-stack magazines It felt good in the hand during single shot/slow firing when I was making the decision. But during life drills or USPSA matches, I noticed that my grip coming apart quickly and this is not improving with time. So now I’m in doubt with my decision going with a double-stack: are my hands too small/weak to hold it? Moving to the Production division helped since it requires magazine change, so I can fix weak hand hold.
Before I'll start pushing myself to train even more on weak hand strength, how can I "scientifically" tell if I need to change the gun and what in particular I'm looking for in my grip change before I start renting all available pistols on a shelf? Sorry, I don't believe in "love at first sight" in this particular case, or whatever a sales person might say.
P.S. All information on the subject is incomplete, and I'm not finding anything conflicting with what celebrities are saying (e.g. Bob Vogel, Travis Tomasie, Jerry Miculek, etc.) with what I’m doing.
