I just took delivery of my new 75 Compact.  I've completed my NRA Basic Pistol course, but I didn't have the 75 in time to take it.  Due to time constraints I haven't been able to get out to the range yet to heat this thing up.

The last two evenings I've spent working on grip, and trigger press, (dry-firing w/ snap caps).  I'm right-handed, have big hands, and can't find a comfortable compromise for the two-hand grip.

With the four fingers of my support-hand wrapped around my firing-hand fingers, when the support hand thumb falls in place (with the firing-hand thumb over lapping the base knuckle of the thumb) my support-hand thumb interferes with the tip of my trigger finger.  Moving the finger off the trigger (to the right) clears the thumb but I've already noticed a tendency to pull the barrel to the right with it ... probably not a good neuro-pathway to start building.

Wrapping my support hand thumb under the trigger guard is more comfortable (basically cupping the firing hand).  And bracing the support-hand thumb against the left side of the frame also seems to provide more clearance.   Neither of these techniques follow accepted guidelines.

Any suggestions for "modified" two-hand grip technique.

Thanks.

Since you have larger hands you could get some extended mag bases and put them on CZ Factory 16rd mags which in essence extends the grip and turns it into a ?semi-compact? type setup. The bases fill in the gap from the bottom of the mag well of the frame to the bottom of the magazine. I prefer a more ?full size? grip, just allows me to get a proper grip for shooting.....here are links to the base pads and 16rd mags:

These basic concepts, although not demonstrated with a compact, may very well help you find the grip that best suits your body.
