[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1798111, member: 11766"] My wife suffers the same small hands problem. We fixed some of it with training. She started out with a PPK in 380... but as with those guns- a safety, short slide that is easy to "ride" and induce a jam when chambering (till you get used to it) a DA/SA system with the complications of a lever and the long first trigger pull... she decided to keep it... and look for a "primary" gun She ended up with a Kimber Aegis 9 mm. Thin, light, short trigger, single action... We are still working on some gun handling issues (like using the safety) but for someone who never fired a handgun to what she can do now... I think she's doing very well. The 3 inch 45's? Most of the bugs are worked out of them ... but you really have to watch for recoil spring wear. They take a beating compared to longer slides. The 9 mm seems to be a good solution. I like the 39 series SW too... but they are thick and have a long trigger... just saying. [/QUOTE]
