9mm for smaller hands

[Charger]

I have a H & K USP 9 but the grip is too big for my wife and daughter.
So they are looking for a Compact or full size 9mm striker or SA/DA with a smaller grip.
Looking in the 500$ range. Double stacks should be ok but need to be on the smaller side.
Any recommendations.
Thanks Charger

I have a Walther PPS that I like. It's a single stack. Thin. Sort of Glock-like, with weight similar to a G26. Reliable right out of the box.

Check out the Sig Sauer SP2022. About $469.00 with factory night sites or under $400 with 3 dot sights. They come with a medium and small grip.
We have even had a 9 year old girl and 7 year old boy shoot them, without any failures.

Easiest way is going to be take them to the gun store and go gun fondling. Let them get a feel will be your best bet.

Karh CW9. let your wife grope one.

Sig 239 is my GF's favorite.
The Kahr is about the right size for many of our better halves, and theres a lighter spring set available. My gf's complaint after checking one of those out was the difficulty in manipulating the slide.

That is what we plan to do but would like to have a few models in mind before we get lost in a sea of pistols.

Try an M&P with the small back strap?

I recently held the Ruger SR9 it felt really slim. You might have them try one of them.

The Glock 19 works very well for shooters with smaller hands. Best you take your daughter to a range that rents pistols and let her try several, and see what she likes.

+1 on the G19
My wife has went through everything from a P30 to Lc9. Even the G26 and G17. But the 19 is what she loves.

+1 for Kahr. The CW9 (I think) is the perfect gun.

Add a $10 Hogue grip to it and you're done.

Look at the SR9 and the XDm.

The SR9 is really thin for a double stack and the XDm has a pretty short reach to the trigger. My wife likes both of those grips. I have also heard that Hi-Powers are good for small hands, but no personal experience.

Try the HK P30. You will be impressed. My son has small hands and loves the P30. The USP is too large for him also. So is the G19.

KelTec PF9 ($250 at NW Armory) is good for small hands (plus it is very thin .88" wide). My wife and I are loving ours. Using that with a Remora holster (IWB no clips - $29.95) and it is sweet.

+2 for a Kahr. My GF is 5'2 100lbs and carrys a Kahr P9 IWB. Very comfortable for her and shoots awesome. Trigger pull is great and its a very light little pistol. With a full mag it weighs about the same as my G26 did empty...

+1 on the SR9 - SR9C

I own the Sig 239 & the LC9. I would have her handle both of these. The LC9 feels more compact but the Sig is quite comfortable in my hands, and while I am by no means as accurate as I will someday be, the Sig is a better shooter.

Also have her take a look at the SR9C. - I used my husband's when I took my class and it/I were pretty good!

Both my wife and daughter shoot the M&P40fs using the small back strap.
