one thing a gun show remains useful for. Typical they have a seller or two that has a large number of pistol models. You can handle each, determine which feels best in your hand, weights the right amount and fits in holsters at your waist and where you find that most comfortable.
You can try out lighter guns as others have noted.
Also you can try out on belt, in waist, in pocket etc.
If this is for in the woods, then having shoulder holster under a vest, etc might be a good holster or a back up under a jacket in cooler weather.
