Use case: Your daughter is not a gun person. She has a gun that she never shoots, cleans or oils.
But you want her tsomething that will always work, rarely jam, no matter what.
See if you can try someone's who has. Wilson Combat grip module, there are also various width OEM modules. Also, if you hold a 365 make sure you try it with a 12 round mag as well as the standard 10 round.So I was able to hold a Sig P320 today. It was wider than I realized. It felt good, but I didn’t get a feeling that I really needed one.
So that brings me back to the P365. But since I have a Glock 43 and a Shield, I can’t really come up with a good enough excuse to spend the money.
Im sure that could change once I’m able to hold one.

A Shield 45 with the 7rd mag just has enough grip for my hand. The CZ P10 F that with the 19rd mag fits my hand perfectly. Even my new RIA Rock Ultra FS 10mm is a little small in the grip department. But I'll manage may have to get thicker grips for it.A P365 with a 12 round magazine fits my hand perfectly, and makes a great pocket pistol.
It's right at the same size and weight of a S&W 9mm Shield
If she doesn’t want to carry it and it’s only for home, I would 100% recommend a 17 or 19 over the 43 or 42. I pretty much have hands the size of a midget and can shoot both my 19 and 34 without issue.I knew from the title this would be somewhat of a $+i t show. INGO is always entertaining and bubbling with opinions on this topic.
Glock would be my suggestion, depending on the size of her hands and sensitivity to recoil. 43X, 48, 42, probably the best bets for a lady because of the size of the pistol. I consider a G19 the best "fit all" but that is a personal preference and probably not the answer for a lady. A S&W Shield (not EZ) or the 365 would also be a good choice if it fits her hand. Most important, safety training and proper grip will keep her safe and the gun running when she needs it.
Absolutely, if she isn't going to carry it, larger frame is more capacity and less felt recoilIf she doesn’t want to carry it and it’s only for home, I would 100% recommend a 17 or 19 over the 43 or 42. I pretty much have hands the size of a midget and can shoot both my 19 and 34 without issue.
AgreeA revolver may also fit the bill if you wanted to remove the idea of magazines.

It's amazing how everyone is different and it takes different sizes handguns to fit different hands.
Best thing is to get a firearm that gives you full grip that isn't to long or to short in the grip department. And feels good and aims good for you.
Carried a shield for 3 years, loved it. Shot a P365, sold the shield the same day and have carried the Sig ever sinceSo I was able to hold a Sig P320 today. It was wider than I realized. It felt good, but I didn’t get a feeling that I really needed one.

I loved my shield. The only thing that I didnt like was the capacity, but it was easy to shoot and easy to carry. I replaced it with a P-10S, which I love.
I'm waiting for a 10mm shield
