Good .45 for small hands.

[nost]

Im looking to buy a 45 but i have small hands and am unable to shoot well with a full size or large pistol (one reason why i love my mosquito ).

are there any 45s out there that are on the smaller side?
thanks

pretty much any single stack, which alot of .45s are.

S&W M&P comes with 3 different size grip inserts.

pretty much any single stack, which alot of .45s are.

I believe the a single stack 1911 is the smallest grip you are going to get for a pistol chambered in .45ACP.

1911A1 + short trigger + Slimline stocks, Et Voila ! will fit my daughter , with real small hands.

Don't forget to give G21SF a try.

M&P, 1911 or P220 should be OK!

Some nice slim line grips for 1911's.

A 1911 with the thin grips, flat mainspring housing, Ed Brown beavertail, and short trigger will do for almost all adults not suffering from micro phalangia.

Off the top of my head I would say ....STI Ranger II

He asked for .45

"...He asked for .45..." A BHP isn't that much smaller anyway.
Go try a Glock on for size.
Mind you, my hands are wide but short and a standard Government Model fits me. The flat mainspring housing will help a bit. Tends to cause low shooting unless you pay close attention to the sights.

Slim grips make a huge difference.

The 1911 fits most people, and the M&P 45 has the same general grip dimensions as the M&P 9+40.

Ruger P345, the grips are much thinner that a ss 1911

Ruger P345, the grips are much thinner that a ss 1911

+1 on the Ruger...
If size is an issue, this is your gun.
As well, the price is very reasonable....

I don't have monster mitts like alot of .45 shooters I know and found it hard to get comfortable trying theirs. I bought a M&P .45 and I'm actually shooting better than I do with my Glock 17.

I don't know if I'm just kidding myself or what, but I've never had a problem with grip size (except with Glocks, but that was a shape problem, not a size problem).

I shoot everything from single- to double-stack semi-autos, 1911s, all revolver frames, never had a problem.

I'm starting to think I've got perfect shooting hands
