Noob question

[Tremor1990]

I am trying to pic out my first US and I am looking at getting a initiate v3 or a dominix v3. My fear is that the initiate might be too small but that the dominix might be too big. Could someone that owns either one of these post pics of them being handled with both hands on the hilt? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pictures do help but the best option is to find an old broom stick or a cardboard tube and measure out the handle lengths so you get the idea of how long these hilts are when you are physically holding them, cause other members pics can be deceiving. All our hands are of different sizes  what one may find as a good length another may find too small.

the Initiate v3 is 1.45" wide and 9.5" long

the Dominix v3 is 1.45" wide and 12.25" long

That's a good idea, I will try that, thanks.

Yeah it's a tough call because hands can be very different sizes.  I have rather large hands and find the Dominix to be a good single or two handed saber, whereas I consider the Initiate to be  more single handed.

Of course like I said, someone with smaller hands could rather easily utilize the Initiate as a two handed weapon.
