This may be a bit premature, but...
I haven't shot many handguns over the last 30 years. In my early 20s, I settled on a S&W 22/32 kit gun and a Dan Wesson 357 with 4 & 6 inch barrels. I bought the DW after I sold my S&W M28 - the standard S&W N-frame grips were too large for my hand when shooting double action, although nice for single action. The DW had the advantage of no backstrap, so I could get a comfortable grip for my small hands. Years later I bought a Ruger P90, which fits me fine and is a pleasure to shoot.
I've just ordered a Ruger SRH Alaskan that should be in later this week. I haven't fired a 44 Mag in 30 years, so I'm sure it will be...interesting.
Here are the questions:
Are the standard grips for an Alaskan hard to use if you have small hands (too small for N-frame, fine with K frame or the P90)? Guess I'll find out this week regardless...
What are the smallest rubber grips available?
Also, I was looking at Badger wooden grips - how big are they? Do they make it harder to reach the trigger in DA?
