PDP vs P30L vs 509 - Battle of Small Hands and 9mm's

I have small hands, well short fingers really. My wife and I have several small grip guns. Here is my thoughts on the small grip guns we have:

1. Beretta M71 Jaguar. Small but 22.
2. Bersa Thunder 380. Nice and compact and similar to the Beretta. A very good centerfire PPK like gun.
3. T33 7.62x25. It is small and compact. Thin grip area. Excellent old school single action.
4. Browning 1911-22. There is also a 380 version. Thin small grips. Nice gun with nice old school style. It is only 85% the size of a full size 1911.
5. Webley MP 455. Nice Antique with short 2.5" barrel and quite small grips. Pricy though.
6. S&W M&P 9mm. With the smallest grip it is easily the most compact double stack we have and easy for her small hands and mine. The stippling is excellent.
7. Glock 48 9mm. Similar to the Tok for grip size. Honestly the best small frame 9mm we can have.

Glock 48
Sig P-220
Sig 239
Sig 320

All 9mm. The G-48 in great for the narrow grip. Very functional, reliable. If you can find one, Sig P-220 9mm is a single stack with a nice grip. Install a short trigger and it just adds to the feel. Sig P-239 with the threaded barrel is restricted and similar in grip width to the G-48 with a short trigger reach. The Sig P-320 with a small grip module might be a wide body that you could work with. You could even get a compact grip module in small that feels better in the hand than the full size small module. It would then take either the compact or full size mags. A friend has an FN-509 which has a nice grip angle to it. Sometimes even with a wide body the grip angle can make a difference. Keep in mind also, if you find something you like but still feel in may be too thick in the grip, grip reduction on polymer frames with stippling might work. I have a G-17 that was reduced and stippled and it is way better in the hand than the standard frame.

Good luck with the search.
