Choosing grip size
Could someone please help me choose an appropriate grip size ? I am intending to buy a new Morini CM 162EI. My palm size is in between 80 & 85 mm. I also used the search option to find out about grip size, but i didn't find anything. Please assist me.

Grip size
Rink offers very good grips.
However I would be careful about the size dimensions applied by different manufacturers.
Check also this link 'http://www.matchguns.com/impugnature.asp' from Match Guns. The download form is more explicit the the one from Rink and may be closer to what you are looking for.

Re: Grip Size
This is exactely what I had done when asking Rink which size he would recommend, and ultimately I'm satisfied with the grip.fc60 wrote:Greetings,
It may be helpful to place your hand on a scanner along with a scale.
Send the image to the grip manufacturer and see what response you get from them.
Cheers,

Whoever is selling you the pistol should be able to assist you with grip size. However, I will relate my experience, which might give you a point from which to extrapolate.
I recently purchased a Morini CM84E from Neal Stepp at ISS. Neal had me perform the measurement that Morini recommends in the links above (see the post linking to Morini grips; your original post also drew from the Morini site with the drawing of the hand and the sizes). My hand was 92mm if I squashed it down on the table (with ruler underneath); it was 89mm if I "hovered" the hand in the air, without compressing against anything.
Based on the squashed dimension of 92mm, Neal said that in his selling experience, I was pretty much in the center of the range for the "Medium" grip. I ordered the Medium grip.
After several weeks and ~500 rounds (and twice as many dry fires), I've adjusted the shelf as high (smallest) as it will go, and it's very nice now. My wrist bones stick out a lot, and the lower one was hitting the shelf, so I've filed off some of the shelf corner. I don't have one to try, but I suspect that a Small Grip (recommended 85mm rather than Medium's 90mm hand measurement) would have fit as well, but with the shelf at a lower (larger) position, and I might not have needed to file the shelf depth.
Other variables:
- I tend to like a snug/tight wrap-around grip
- My hand has larger palm and shorter fingers than "normal" shaped men's hands. For example, I've had to slide the trigger blade back a few mm's for a comfortable reach.
