So my wife is considering her own gun. She did request pink, so I got to ask:

Any of you know any small pistols with pink on it?

Second question: any of you ladies (or gentelman with better halfs) have a small statue and small hands, if so what guns do you like? I would like to narrow the search to something she will be comfortable with.

(So far I am leaning toward a pink handled revolver, in 9mm or 38 special. I know I know, good look finding a decent 9mm revolver.)
 
Congratulations! I would go with a S&W 642 and get some aftermarket handle grips :)
 
Pink Panther time ,eh.

While having colored or fashion plate statement revolvers or pistols is what gets some women into the shooting game I am happy the wife and daughter got into it to shoot and have fun. Not make statements by the color of the gun.

However the color though I may not think much of it can be important to the shooter. Many types, brands,makes, and models have been gussied up for pride of ownership or for making a statement. No harm, no foul.
 
I understand the KT plastic grip frames can be bleached then dyed any color. But I'd suggest a J frame with pink grips or maybe a PPK with pink grip panels.
 
I would show her some examples of attractive guns with ivory/stainless or subtle color in the wood grips and hope that she comes to the conclusion that some things just shouldn't be pink----ever.
 
Use Duracoat and then you only have to paint the stuff pink that you want. This is my daughters.

I got my duracoat from these guys. They have an airbrush starter kit that works great.

Sadly the first thing that came to mind was a hot-pink aftermarket fiber-optic sight.
 
I bought a pink Pac-Lite upper for my daughters future .22 pistol. I've painted a set of AK furniture and my KT P-32 grip. Up next is a Garand stock, M1 Carbine stock, and a Glock. AK not assembled yet. Still got time before she could hold it up by herself. :D

i would get it for her, heck yeah i would, i would take her out let her get what she wants and then send it off to get painted, duracoated etc. don't settle on guns that come form the factory pik, get something nice, and reliale and that she likes and then get the work done.

i have small hands andthe kahr's, xd's, m&p's work great for me, as well as 1911's.
 
Wasn't there a guy on gunbroker who would paint your revolver whatever colours you wanted?
I forgot which model he was selling that he had painted, but I think it was an older smith and wesson.
REALLY UGLY!
:barf:
