Yes they are, and would likely fit perfectly. However, as awesome as one is unless the OP can try one it is a lot of money to spend.
Which handgun models are the best for tiny hands?

I'm in Toronto and there is only one store and they cannot have every "small" gun. I'd buy online if there is something better.
What he said.
1911 Commander. It's nicely proportioned and can be fitted for smaller hands with thin grips and a short trigger. Gazillions of people over a very long time can't be wrong. In a "modern" smaller 9mm, try the Ruger SR 9
I have tiny hands also. I tried m&p with medium grip and it was much too big. I cant imagine the small grip makes much difference. S&W 686 was a little too much as well. Was considering 1911 (kimber aegis 9mm) but im lefty and really want ambi controls.
I think the only option left to try for me is cz85 with thin grips

You don't say what you want the gun for. I shoot Tanfoglio guns in the games and have the Xtreme thin aluminum grips. The frame of the Tanfos is also slim. Try the CZ line with the thin grips. Alot of people like the CZ and Tanfo feel
only if it has the e2 grips

ive got a nice big selection of guns and i have what i would call medium hands.
for poly center fire guns Ruger SR9 is by far the smallest grip i have shot (and own) and it is marketed or was initially marketed for female officers and small to medium hand sized men.
glock no, M&P no, CZ no. i have them all and the SR9 is way smaller.
boberg i cant speak too but they are $$.
for the price i would say try out a Ruger SR9.
its at the low end of the entry level guns for price and is good quality and is easy to resell if you find you dont like it.

I always joke that if in a close gun fight, or if someone was barging through my front door, I Would NOT feel under-gunned with a Tokarev. It is damn reliable and anyone who has fired one has felt the shockwave in their chest. I have fairly small hands and even I find it tiny. It certainly is small, but look up the data. The 7.62x25 aint no joke. Just buy one,,,,,,,,,,,or two. Kick ass little guns.
Fired buddies SR9 & i wasnt a fan at all, i want a SAM next

The Boberg appeals on several levels. It's small but has a regulation barrel and can chuck some serious destructive power. Being a gear head, I also like that it's different and elegant mechanically. I don't know what it's like to shoot but I assume better than other guns of the same overall size.
K frame Smiths are out. Too big due to the daft shape. A J frame would work, except most of 'em are too evil for Canada.
Try a Ruger GP and a BHP. No 4" barrels for you either. Too evil. You can try and find a 4"+ Ruger though.
In any case, the weight of a handgun is held up by your wrists more than your hands. Your hands will be busy absorbing the felt recoil.
Your best bet is to go shopping and try on a bunch of different handguns and grips if the shop has 'em and will let you(Mondays are the best day for that).

So you're saying the sr9 has a grip that is only 0.3mm thinner than a glock or m&p?? According to others above the difference is noticeable
It would appear that 1911's aren't so slim either, who knew...Tdc
Quite opposite experience here. I think it's one of the best valued pistols on the market. My test was cut short around 1000 rounds mark, but I wouldn't mind to own another one.
