[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2930125, member: 1132"] The options are limited. Since she's already acquainted with a 1911'ish platform, probably the best bet would be an actual 1911 9mm with a 4.25-5" slide and an alloy frame. That would give her 9-10+1, a better trigger than most and around a 12# recoil spring. There's plenty of traction on the slide serrations of a 1911, plus by manually cocking the hammer and then racking the slide, it's pretty easy to manipulate when loading. I've always said there's a hole in the market where an EMP with a rail and 4.25" barrel should be, as well as a M&P Shield with a longer barrel/heavier slide with a lighter recoil spring, plus a longer grip that holds 10-12 in the mag and a rail for a light. Both would be excellent HD/CCW guns for people with smaller hands and less grip strength. Shame we don't have them already. :( [/QUOTE]
