Handgun for small hands?

[Bob Meyer]

Smith and Wesson made a version of the 3913 just for ladies. You might find one on Gunbroker or Gunsamerica.

Small hands wants a small grip. . . but NOT a small gun. Small guns are hard to shoot.

The M&P line has changeable backstraps. Start with Full Size, Compact, or EZ9mm. IMO, Shields are too small if you're not concealing it.

Take a look at a glock 26. It works for folks with small hands. Its accurate easy to shoot well and it can take 17 round magazines. I have a sig p938 and its difficult for some folks to rack the slide. Much harder than my g26.

The trigger reach of the G26 would be the same as the G19/G17/G34.

The OP, if I remember correctly, is looking for a home defense gun and not a carry gun.

My vote would be a Sig P365, easy to conceal and shoot. Excellent choice for small hands!

The SIG M17 (P320) has the option of three different sizes of grip modules. (That was a selling point for the army, since there were complaints that the previous M9 was unsuitable for small hands.) To be honest, I've found that the small grip module doesn't make all that much difference. The medium grip module is supposed to work for like 90% of users.

I just bought a M18 (4 inch barrel vs 5 inch barrel). This gun is just a dream to shoot. I have smallish hands (size medium glove) and my friend has huge ass bearpaws and it fits both of us great. I'd strongly recommend trying it.
