SMOKIE901 10 Posted March 8, 2020 Looking for 9MM with a slender grip. Some say the Clock 19 Gen 4 Are there any you recommend to look at? This is for my wife who has a small hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GramGun79 226 Posted March 8, 2020 Glock 43 is the slender of the Glock line. Glock 19 is you best all around in my opinion as far as size and round capacity. Ive heard the New Sig 320x compact is very nice as well. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,871 Posted March 8, 2020 Any single stack will have a slimmer grip. Look at the Glock 48. Beretta Px4 Storm has a relatively slim grip as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,569 Posted March 8, 2020 PX4? It's a double stack. The only double stack I'd recommend is a Sig P365. Stick with Glock 43 or 48, M&P Shield, Walther PPS or CCP, Taurus G2S, any 1911, etc. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kadayo 39 Posted March 8, 2020 As others have said the Glock 43x or 48. Nice slim grip and 10rd capacity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted March 8, 2020 If I recall, Springfield XDs 9mm is pretty thin. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,894 Posted March 8, 2020 Glock 19 definitely not.. it takes the same mags as a 17.... The px4 does have nice grip for smaller hands, but i wouldn't call it slender. I would look to compact sized firearms, single stack.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is for my wife who has a small hand. I have small hands, too - and not terrific grip/arm strength either. That said, I've often been surprised at how many factors go into how "comfortable" a gun is for me - yes, the width of the grip, but also the recoil, the grippiness/stickiness, and the ergonomics. (For instance, for whatever reason, even a double stack with a curved backstrap fits into my hand sooo much more comfortably, it's amazing). Then you've also got guns like the M&P series (I believe?) that has the modular style grips where you can pop in larger or smaller parts to adjust to hand size. And, of course, you have just slimmer grips you can buy for 1911's for instance. It's pretty dizzying if she's new to this (is she?). My advice is have your wife go to one of the meetings/open shoots of either The Well-Armed Woman (TWAW) or Second Amendment Women (SAW). Each organization has more than one chapter in the state - between the 2 they're really all over NJ. She will be able to go there (and pretty sure you can go as a non-member at least the first time) and have an entire row of ports filled with guns that women have chosen for themselves (many of whom also have small hands). She can go to each port - pick the gun up, shoot it, see how it feels, etc. She may even want to hit a couple of different chapter meetings. After that process, she'll probably have tried at least 20+ guns and will likely have developed a shortlist of options. If interested, please PM me and let me know where you live, I'll get back to you with the meetings that would be closest to your household or her workplace. (And BTW, she's always welcome to come to the next TWAW meeting at Tactical Training Center in Flemington, NJ, if that's not too far for her. That's where I go & I would be happy to meet her there and be her shooting buddy for the evening!) 2 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bklynracer 1,259 Posted March 8, 2020 There was someone on here selling a Springfield 1911 EMP 4, nice shooter, slim grip. I enjoy shooting mine, Don't know why is not more popular. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgtdave4321 36 Posted March 10, 2020 Cz P10c has a slimmer grip than the Glock 19. I had a Glock 19, P10c , and P320. P320 had the bulkiest grip. I sold off my P10c only because I had a rifle that also took Glock 19 mags. P10c is closein size to 19 but with a slimmer grip. The Glock 48/43x is smaller overall and couple be a little snappy. Same with P365/365XL. I hope that helps! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted March 10, 2020 The agency I worked for adopted the S&W 6906 in the 80s and Glock 19 in the 90s. People with small hands had no problem adapting to them. Just my experience. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on ... ... and while it hasn't been explicitly stated but rather implied, generally steer away from the subcompact single stacks (Glock 43, S&W Shield) because their lower mass will result in higher felt recoil which your wife may not like. That said, all the advice to actually try and shoot several models is the way to go. That's the best way to find what suits an individual shooter. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,134 Posted March 24, 2020 CZ-75 or CZ-P01. Have her hold one of both. Erogonomically CZs are the bees knees (I don't know what that means but it rhymes and sounds good). But seriously, CZs are some of the most ergonomically pleasing guns areound. The 75 is larger and steel framed. Helps soak up some of the recoil. The P01 is a little smaller and aluminum-framed. Both are excellent pistols and tack drivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,256 Posted March 25, 2020 cz-75, baby eagle, eaa witness and other cz-75 like guns usually work for a lot of hand sizes. If there is going to be an issue it will be reach to the trigger for small handed people. The sig p365 is really quite teeny. As is the beretta nano and other carry oriented small 9mm pistols. For small handed people I know who have had grip size and trigger reach issues, the full size S&W M&P with the small grips seems to work well for them. I'd put all the full size guns with modular grips for ergonomics and metal mags with them set up for the smallest grip size. The reality is that a double stack 9mm magazine is not particularly girthy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimB1 554 Posted March 25, 2020 I'm in the CZ camp too. Most of the CZ-75 variants are very comfortable, slim grips. My CZ-75 SP01 is one of my favorites. -Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick_F 5 Posted March 27, 2020 HK VP9. It comes with S, M, L sides and backstrap to customize the grip to your needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
