I have large hands also.Hi all, I am looking for a compact 9mm for concealed carry. I currently have a S&W 9 Shield but it's just a bit small for my hand. Also would like one that has more than 8 rounds. What would you all suggest?
If you like the Shield check out the Shield Plus. Slides, holsters, etc should be compatible for you. Adds a little grip girth and standard mags for it hold 13 and you can get 15 rounders.Hi all, I am looking for a compact 9mm for concealed carry.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out the P365s but they are a bit pricey. The CZ P10s look pretty good too for the price. Will also look at the S&W Shield plus.
Compact 9mm that holds more than 8 rounds...for concealed carry?Hi all, I am looking for a compact 9mm for concealed carry. I currently have a S&W 9 Shield but it's just a bit small for my hand. Also would like one that has more than 8 rounds. What would you all suggest?
I second this. Test fire guns at a range that rents them so you know before you buy whether or not it works for you. Also, go to a local gun store and just window shop. Pick up and hold as many as you are interested in just to see how they feel in your hand. The feel is much more important than how they look in the case.I recommend going to a range with a decent set of rental guns and trying them out. I’ve switched from Shield to J Frame to P365 to Shield Plus. I also have large hands. The subcompact’s are a compromise for me. I like the size to carry but feel as they are small for my hands. The slides on both the 365 and shields typically do not stay back after the last round due to my large hands hitting the slide release.
The Hellcat is amazing. It beat out many other options and has been my EDC for a few years now. It disappears on me and isn't too small for my hands. It carries as many rounds as much larger pistols.No love for the Springfield Hellcat?
The 365 was a close second for me though.
If I remember correct, I think they voted in favor of limiting yearly gun purchases. I imagine if we look deep enough into any big company, there will be something we don't like.The Hellcat is amazing. It beat out many other options and has been my EDC for a few years now.

That said, I've come to realize there isn't much love for Springfield on INGO...
