I doubt it. I have fairly large hands. 6'2" about 185 and wear a size 12.5 wedding ring. I wouldn't describe my hands as beefy. But, pretty long and large. I wear XL gloves. I would guess Vic has pretty large hands as well. Vic is a pretty large guy. So, I would assume his hands are at least beafier than mine (???)

The over-all handle of the M9LE is actually beefier than the large Res-C handles. So, if you find the large Res-C handles sufficiently large, you won't consider the M9LE's handle too small.

However, some of the Busse "Magnum" handles are thicker.

The NMSFNO has mags. Sometimes I feel mags are OK. But, I often find I actually prefer the standard or thinner scales. I heard somebody once describe Busse mag scales as feeling like a handle with a golf ball in the middle. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> - I can't seem to forget that comment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In any event, I honestly find the feel of the M9LE's handle better than most mags.

I actually like the standard scales on my FSH more than the mags on my NMFBM. Between the standard scales on my FSH vs. the scales on my M9LE is very close, but the FSH is more prone to Busse pinky because of the beak though not the scales. I would say the M9LE is more hand filling than the standard scales on my FSH.

The M9LE scales and fit/feel in the hand is VERY good IMO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

But, preferences in feel are subjective. So, I hope that helps. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
