Ur gonna have to hold them first to decide. I use a medium on my 40c. Didn't like how the small felt at all. So there's really no way someone can tell u what will feel better. Good luck tho! The 9 compact is a great gun and I'm sure you will love it. Have fun and be safe out there!!! Feel is so important to accurate pistol anything really that I cannot tell you how much of a difference it will make. What I can tell you to do is try everything, be it actual shooting or just dry firing, before you buy.
Something will feel just right and that's the one to get provided the recoil is manageable for you. Recoil is also a personal thing, this is where actual shooting realy pays off before you buy because you will have a better idea of the total package. Now if they will let you clean the gun you have it all. I like the Glock I have a 9c with the small grip. Like it better than the Small hands.
Pierrre The simple answer to your question is "a bunch". The 22 does NOT have interchangeable backstraps. But the full size and compact 9 both do. The 22 is intended to imitate the FS 9 with a medium grip. Don't pre-judge your wife. She may prefer a full size with small grip over the compact. The compact magazines can accept a "pinky extension".
Just call them. I highly recommend having BOTH of you try the full size and compact 9 before buying. I have both. The compact was originally intended for the wife. That plan is pretty well dead. The full size is heavier and thus has less felt recoil due to weight. Ideally, you get one of each: a 22 and whichever 9 fits you guys better. At this point, she has shot rounds and you haven't got one round off yet.
And to add insult to injury, after rounds are gone, she will ask "aren't you gonna shoot any". The Following 2 Users Like Post: hfa68 , nrz. Chuck Jones. You're already headed in the right direction 9MM is definitely the way to go, for ammo cost, availability, and terminal ballistics. Unlike caliber grip size is subjective, and what may feel good in the store, or after a few hundred rounds, may not be what you like after shooting thousands of rounds.
Both are great guns for reliability and ease of use. Both are used by competitive shooters who require reliability far in excess of the vast majority of shooter who will never fire tens of thousands, let alone hundreds of thousands, rounds. Both have excellent holster availability, magazines, factory support, and aftermarket accessories like sights and triggers.
As I say I have both, I like the 19 very much and shoot it well, it was my first plastic gun. The 9c carries a bit easier, fits the had a little better, and I seem to shoot it as well as my Glock Thanks for all the responses. The wife loves it! She actually has bigger hands than me so the grip size isn't an issue for her.
As for the 22s - I never considered buying this. It was just the first weapon they had the beginners class shooting. We then moved to the 9mm. I understand that the grip thing is going a personal choice, which is why I'm planning on trying out the small backstrap at the range on Friday.
I was just looking for a more general - "it's a significant size difference" or "hardly any diff. One thing I can say for sure is that after just 2 days of going to the range I'm hooked! One of the curses of my addictive personality - go big or go home! I'd be careful around here Stick around and that 9mm ain't gonna be the last gun you buy. I feel they are better guns as well, and they are WAY nicer looking than the blocks Handgun nirvana. I wear XL gloves and prefer the small back straps.
It's more about the angle and thickness than anything. The smaller back strap is perfect on the 45 models due to the thickness of the grip front to back being a little more than the 9s, but I like it on both.
That being said, it's going to boil down to personal preference. I have small hands. The medium just seems to give me more contact on the meaty part of my hand if that makes sense. I may even give the large a try just to see if I like the increased surface area. Try all the different sizes of backstraps to get a feel for them. Shoot a magazine or two with each. See how each affects your grip, comfort and accuracy.
It's really a personal thing. The small will feel different, but whether that's a good thing or not is up to you. Choose the size of the backstraps by where your trigger finger lands on the trigger.
Too small and too much of your finger will be in the trigger guard and you'll be pulling the muzzle toward your strong hand, too small and the tip of your finger will push the muzzle away from your strong hand. You want the "Goldilocks" size, just right. The group size went from 3 inches at 15 yards and 1 inch high with the small to all touching at POI with the medium backstrap.
Obviously its how it fits my hand that made the difference but I was truly stunned at the difference. I have to agree with Duke's assessment. The small felt great in my hand, but after switching around at my last range session, the medium strap produced the tightest groups. Switched back to the small, and the groups got bigger again. The large was inconsistent all together. I'm sticking with my Medium insert, but I'm curious to see how stippling the small may turn out, as stippling does add a little size to grips.
I also noticed a difference in grouping. I was having a hard time choosing between the small and medium since they both felt pretty good. It was decided after I put 25 rounds slow fire then 25 rounds rapid fire with each back strap.
I could get tighter groups with the medium so thats the one I stuck with. I would test it out by doing the bench test the way G-man Bart recommends with a rolled towel I feel as well that the grouping of your particular pistol is going to depend on your proper grip and the ability to keep a firm grip on it during recoil as to how well the repeatability of the shot placement will be.
And that testing all the backstraps in as controlled environment as you can get will give results that are only good for you. I started running the medium backstrap and was very happy with it but couldn't get sight acquisition as quick and consistent as I had liked. So I started experimenting with the others and found the small grip was about the same as the medium but made the gun feel too small in my hands. I then tried the large grip and found that for me that the sight acquisition from draw was considerably faster wasn't hunting for the sights for first to hit or after a shot was fired but I wasnt able to get a consistent high grip on the gun during the draw.
About 2 out of 10 draws was resulting in a bad grip. So I stopped using the large and went back to the medium. After a summer's worth of shooting the medium I decided one night while doing dryfire that I would switch back to the large because of the faster sight acquisition and see if I would be able to just train myself to get a consistent grip on it.
Well, as luck would have it I never had any issues with bad grip that night even after some 50 draws. I have since stayed with the large grip because it seems to force my hand up higher on the gun and thus seems to give me much better control of the gun both in terms of recoil and faster follow up shots. My suggestion is thoroughly test all the grips and see what differences you notice about them and then pick the one now that works best.
