I'll find out exactly what the circumstances were and updar, I'm curious now that I'm thinking about it.

Yeah, I've noticed that even using the largest backstrap possible, I still need to manipulate my hands uncomfortably on the G17 to hit the mag release and slide lock - I compared it with the blue training Glocks we're using in school, and it's the same size, enough so that my WE even fits into the Glock holsters we've got and works perfectly with them, so I assume it's 1:1 or as near as makes no difference to the RS.
If you wouldn't mind keeping me updated, even through a PM, I'd be grateful. I'd much rather use a sidearm that I'm comfortable with than one issued to me, if it were a possibility.

Airsoft can be rewarding and fun experience though.

While I don't have much experience in RS pistols, I grew up around RS rifles probably just as you did, but more so hunting than punching paper. Part of our course in April is going out to the range and firing a multitude of rifles and pistols for the day, so I guess I'll get to see then what really works best for me.
