As a woman shooter who carries concealed, I somewhat disagree with this list. Of this list, I have fired the Glock 19, the LCP, and the H&K. None of them were comfortable at all because I have rather tiny hands. Yes, the H&K and a couple of the newer Glocks have adjustable grips, but they adjust the length only. Both are still rather think and blocky, making it difficult to get a good grip. On handling the Kahr, it was a bit thick as well. I prefer the Sprinfield XDM for it’s thin, adjustable grip and comfrotable curves. I have a full size 9mm, and it fits my hands perfectly. The trigger is very easy to squeeze. My Springfield EMP is by far my favorite, however, and I am more accurate with its short barrel than my full size XDM but it is a tad too expensive for most. The Ruger LCP is a great weapon and easy to hold. It’s recoil isn’t too bad for its size and weight, but it was still hard for me to fire accurately. It would be great if you need a very short range, highly concealable weapon.
The grip on a Glock 19 is big for someone with small hands. I wouldn’t consider it a “good gun for women” in general.
Good Advice for concealed carry. I would like some recommendations for a low recoiling home defense handgun for my daughter who has relatively small hands and has trouble managing (so far) a Glock 23 .40 cal, and a S&W Bodyguard .38 Special. I’m considering having her try one of the many .380′s or possibly a Ruger SP101 in .327 Federal.
Oh and by the way, The Ruger LCP is a Pistol, Not a revolver…that would be the LCR.
Many thanks!
