9mm for small hands. P225, USPC or 1911?

unless you gf/wife is a mechanical engineer or mechanically inclined, i don't think that it's either a necessity or reality that she will "really know" how a single action works. better to teach her trigger discipline and firearms safety and you'll probably never have an accident, barring some weird mechanical issue.

btw, unless you meant a p2000 v2/lem or a uspc v5-6, you're advocating a da/sa pistol, which runs counter to your avoidance statement.

HK USPc or P2000 in 9mm---avoid single-action pistols unless wife knows how the SA system works---really works, not just shot one at the range---Sig P228 is a fine pistol also, but I prefer the HK.
