I was visiting in TX over the Thanksgiving Holiday and spent some time with my oldest son looking at handguns for myself. I too have small hands and it is hard for me to press down on the release levers and cycling(pulling back on) the slide. I tried the Kel-Tec P-11 and It is a small gun that fits well in my hand. I was also recommended a Lady Smith and Wesson. I tried one of them that was hammerless and also had a laser on it. It felt really good in my hand, so I'm considering getting on of those. I don't know that the laser is all that necessary, but if an intruder looked down and saw a red light on his chest, that just might be a good deterrent .......I don't think I would hang around long if I were the perp! LOL

You might get in contact with a ‘Second Amendment Sisters’ group. It is a ladies group that might be very helpful and they also have special get-togethers to teach you how to shoot and to find just the right gun for each individual. Their instructions are one-on-one, I believe....that way you can get a lady's perspective. With men....it's easy for them to say, right? I'm sure that SAS(2nd Amend.Sisters) has a website you can go to for info.

Hope you find what is best for you too. If it doesn't feel right to me....I'm not gettin’ it ‘til it does. Holding different guns in a shop and actually trying them out by firing them is the only way to go. Happy hunting.
