[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 873579, member: 8980"] The 1911 I think would be a great platform for her to start with. And if she cant really reach the trigger well, you can always put a short trigger in it. I'm not a fan of anything but the full-sized 1911, but I'd be willing to be that the 4.25" with some slim grips would fit her like a glove. For a female, I would stay away from the .40. It's just too much "bang" and "crack". The recoil in the 9mm is much more controllable, and with the newer JHP's, the stopping power difference is pretty slight. [/QUOTE]
