Female friendly semi-auto for small hands?

[Tomahawk_Ghost]

Yes. Again, I think the issue is the Glock's release lever and lack of familiarity with the action of the release. She had zero problems with some other semis she has looked at, so naturally I'm inclined to suggest one that seems to work better from the start.

In that case I would give the Kahr's a serious look. I've had a PM9 for years that has never given me a problem. I have two children, a 4 year old and 1 year old. I pocket carry the Kahr simply because it's easier when you have kids climbing all over you. If I'm going out by myself I usually carry my Glock 22 or USPc in a C.T.A.C.

My lady appropriated my Browning Hi-Power.
We ( ok I ) got her a Glock and while she could shoot it,
she wasn't comfortable with it.
She knew she liked the Browning so one day it moved from
my side of the bed to hers. Apparently it has no interest in
coming back to me. Something about "beside the couch".

I never said the HighPower was going beside the couch.
It stays right where it is. You on the other hand.

How about a P2000? 9mm or .40/.357sig. The slide is easy to manipulate. Interchangeable back straps make it easy to fit anyone's hands.

OR a Walther P99 also in 9mm or .40 and it's basically the striker fired version of a P2000.

You sure about that?

Kahr cw9 or keltec pf9. Both easy to manipulate and small in the hand. The trigger can be tough on the kel tec for some women, but not bad. Kahr has a beautiful dao trigger right out of the box. Another option is the cz rami.

I would look for a Beretta 92 Type M... It is a very high quality single stack 9mm that holds 8 + 1... They are very easy to shoot and were designed for shooters with small hands...

It's not the best choice but you have to find something they enjoy firing. I got my wife a Springfield EMP. It works for her and she is tiny; 4'9". I'd prefer an M&P 9c but her little fingers just don't reach far enough.

[GermanSynergy]

I'd suggest an M&P 9 or M&P 9 C with Apex striker block, sear and DCAEK.

How do you figure? The only similarities are that they are both made in Germany.

I bought my wife the HK P7M8. Works well for her. Another good choice for CCW is the Walther PPS (9).

If she is not trying to conceal the weapon, then go with a full size M&P with the small grip. No other pistol on the market allows a shooter to change the size of the grips as fast or as easily as the M&P.
