Pistol suitable for small hands.

Update. The pistol ( ISSC ) was just about a ridiculous 3 months at the gunsmith for repairs!!! And it only went to Mississauga!,Just got it back about three weeks ago and finally got it to the range just yesterday. Well it was all for nothing and if anything is worst than it was before being sent out.....jams/fail to fire/ fail to eject/ stove pipes etc. I was told the ejector/ firing pin and slide lock were replaced... on a brand new gun with about 200 rounds put through it. Called the retailer and they graciously agreed to take it back for a full refund so I'm returning it tomorrow. Words to the wise do not buy this pistol. Junk.
 
Like I mentioned earlier, take a look at the Beretta 71, it would be perfect for what you are describing. They run flawlessly on any ammo and can be had quite reasonably
 
I think we are going to give the Browning 1911/22 a try. The retailer is also offering a very good deal on it for all the inconvenience we had with the ISSC which is really decent of them. They have been really good to deal with thus far and the lady in charge of the warranty was very understanding.That goes a long way in my books.

It's nice and great quality but a little pricey compared to pistols like the Browning Buckmark series..
 
I would suggest Ruger Mark or Browning Buckmark.
CZ75 series with thin grips works well, especially after a trigger job
 
My wife's 4'11" / 90lbs (yeah, she's tiny), and she found my Ruger MkIII too heavy. She has, however, claimed my old Browning 1922 .380 as her own since we got married.... snappy recoil, but small and light. She likes it.
 
Walther p22 does well for small hands. Keeping in mind it has paddle mag release instead of buttons and apparently the slides are made out of cheap metal.

Gsg 1911-22 are fairly popular and seem to have a fair number of parts to fix broken guns.

Apparently he doesn't want a small,reliable, sweet shooting, old world classic .22lr. semi auto.
The only minor negative of the 71's is the small sights if vision is an issue.

The Browning 1911 .22 is pricey, but they sure are nice! The Buckmark is a great pistol also.

Be aware that the "Colt Gold Cup" that is being sold for $400.00-500.00 is still just a pot-metal GSG. A friend just had to have a .22 1911 and bough a new GSG for $350.00 Shot it a lot but after a bit more than a year, it is worn out.

Some of the newer models of ISSC pistols may be worth consideration. The earlier ones had a lot of issues, but I have heard that the newer ones, and their newer models are feeding much better and are now very reliable.
