Wife and I buying a handgun... Caliber recommendations?

[Chrossphyre]

I have a glock 17 and a BHP and I really really don't understand the above comment that the BHP with the black grips fits smaller hands than the glock 17 with the small handgrip back on it??

I was actually contrasting the BHP with the black (plastic? bakelite?) grip as opposed to the BHP with the military style brown grips, which are much thicker. I sold quite a few of these to folks with small hands.
