I have a Glock 26 and 19 and have shot a 43 that I rented at the range, I wear size 10 gloves for reference. I couldn't get a solid two handed grip on the 43, but it is very thin which would be nice for carry and it isn't a range toy anyways. That said the recoil wasn't bad or anything, just wasn't fun to shoot. I can get a decent grip on the 26 with the pinky extender deals, but given the referenced girth if I was to do it all over again I'd skip the 26 and just have the 19 as it isn't much of a weight difference. May have to try out a Shield though.
