Sorry I jumped the gun on my post, I didn't read the part about small hands. Keep in mind the narrow profile of the 1911 design is a perfect fit with several of my female companions. SA sells a compact that is matte in color and can be matched with any outfit you choose. ; )

1 other thing. The 1911A1's by Springfield Armory include the Intergrated Locking System. It keeps your gun "locked" while in storage from prying hands, and they send a set of keys with each gun. One for home and one for my key chain.

Take care.
