Switching grips...

I know many threads have been posted previously on this particular subject, but... I really need to know which kind of pistol grips promote great finger control, I'm thinking about switching from French to pistol but I don't want to lose my ability to use my fingers while fencing. Should I get a small one? Medium? Viscontti? Belgian? Any help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated!

Everyone's hands are different - go around the club trying various pistol grips out . Once you find one you like, get it and then you can always modify it so it fits your hand perfectly .

sallearmourer is on a distinguished road
Buy a pistol grip is better done at a NAC or the Nationals that way you can go from dealer to dealer and check out which one feel better to you. Just Looking at one does mean it will feel good to your hand. I don't where you are at but the next big event is in overland Park KS. I sell Ben Z. Handle I had to custom fit four of them for a customer.
