Just like trying on clothes in different sizes, one pistol isn\u2019t going to be a one size fits all solution. Before making a pistol purchase you may regret, spend time researching your options. Get your hands on and grip as many as possible. Then, spend some time at the range with different models if you can.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to comparing pistols, there are a few considerations I recommend researching before making a decision. The first is the reputation of the gun\u2019s manufacturer. I explore their warranty policies and see how long it would take for them to repair something if the pistol broke. Look up the availability of parts, how long the manufacturer has been in the firearms industry, and if they are still producing the pistol you\u2019re interested in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What About Ammo?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second consideration is the availability of the ammunition &#8211; whether that\u2019s practice rounds or hollow points. Not all calibers are easy to find ammunition for. The most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/handgun\/9mm-ammo?manufacturer=1\">popular ammo types like 9mm<\/a>, .380, 45 ACP are what drive manufacturers to make guns to shoot these rounds. Companies that sell ammunition are going to carry the most popular products because they can move products more quickly. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When looking at handgun options, research what ammunition the manufacturer recommends using so you know which ammunition will reliably fire from the gun. Expect to shoot your concealed carry pistol every time you visit a shooting range (and if that isn\u2019t often, expect to increase your visits).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last consideration is your ability to use and carry the best gun for small hands. Will the sights need to be switched out\/adjusted? What holster options are available and will the pistol work for your clothing\/concealed carry location? Is the trigger pull too heavy? Once you explore these questions and research pistols, start comparing them to each other to see what will work best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Best Gun For Small Hands<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1. Glock 43\/42<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_4620\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4620\" class=\"wp-image-4620 size-full\" title=\"glock 43 handgun\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2811-Web.jpg\" alt=\"photo of the glock 43 best gun for small hands\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2811-Web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2811-Web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2811-Web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2811-Web-790x527.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Without question, the Glock 42\/43 series is one of the best handguns for small hands.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glocks are known to be extremely reliable pistols. When tested against extreme conditions, they have been known to still function. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/us.glock.com\/en\/pistols\/g43\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glock 43<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chambered in 9mm and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/us.glock.com\/en\/pistols\/g42\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glock 42<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chambered in .380 are two of the best handguns for small hands. I\u2019d recommend trying these two pistols with a regular magazine and with a magazine extension or pinky extender. The gun will come with a magazine or two, but won\u2019t always have the magazine\/pinky extension. These are aftermarket additions you can purchase and put on the bottom of the magazine to give it that extension. Depending on your hand size, you might not need the extension. My hand slips off the gun without the pinky extender, which adds the perfect amount of extra length needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glocks check all the boxes mentioned above, but is it the best gun for small hands? It&#8217;s very close. I do recommend switching out the sights to night sights to add low light\/night visibility. If you are able to live fire test both firearms, get a feel for the difference in caliber and how the recoil feels in both. The slimline frame is easy to conceal and very easy to grip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only drawback to this pistol is it is lower in capacity compared to other concealed carry options. Depending on your level of comfort with concealed carry, I recommend a sidecar holster or magazine pouch to carry a spare magazine on your person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Walther PPK<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_4616\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4616\" class=\"wp-image-4616 size-full\" title=\"walther ppk 380 pistol\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2795-Web-1.jpg\" alt=\"photo of the walther ppk 380 pistol best gun for small hands\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2795-Web-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2795-Web-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2795-Web-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2795-Web-1-790x527.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shaken, not stirred. The Walther PPK brings class and performance as a concealed carry option.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve seen any James Bond movie, you\u2019re probably familiar with this pistol. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/waltherarms.com\/ppk-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walther PPK <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is one of the best handguns for small hands. It is chambered in .380 and has a decocking mechanism. The decocking mechanism on the PPK doubles as an external safety. When you first insert the magazine into the gun and chamber a round, that brings the external hammer backwards or \u201ccocks it\u201d. (If you pull the trigger when the hammer is cocked, the gun fires in single action mode where the only action the trigger does is fire a round.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Using the decocker, push the lever towards the red dot meaning \u201cfire\u201d and watch as the hammer moves forward. Then push the decocker back to the original position so it is once again in the \u201cfire\u201d mode with the red dot visible. (If you pull the trigger now when the hammer is forward, the gun fires in double action mode where the action the trigger is performing is moving the hammer backwards and forward to fire a round. You\u2019ll notice the trigger pull is a lot harder when it\u2019s in double action mode).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>PPK History<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The history behind this pistol is fascinating. If you shop for a PPK, be sure to look at which manufacturer produced it to understand when it was made. The earlier PPKs before 2002 were made by Interarms. Then, up until the early 2010s, Smith and Wesson manufactured them. Today, Walther makes the newer PPKs. While not much has changed between them, the grip and beavertail shape vary slightly on the different models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an extremely small pistol to carry concealed. Just like the Glock, I recommend trying to grip the PPK with a regular magazine and with a picky extension magazine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trigger pull on this pistol is 13 pounds when you run it as a double action. It&#8217;s 6 pounds if you shoot it as a single action. The action on this pistol uses blow-back autoloading. This means the gas from the fired cartridge pushes the slide back to eject the spent brass. This is also the reason the slide is a lot harder to rack. So, if you have small, but strong hands, this pistol is still easy to operate and use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Smith &amp; Wesson 38 Special<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_4614\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4614\" class=\"wp-image-4614 size-full\" title=\"smith and wesson 38 special revolver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2810-Web.jpg\" alt=\"photo of the smith and wesson 38 special revolver\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2810-Web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2810-Web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2810-Web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2810-Web-790x527.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It might as well be called &#8220;Old Faithful,&#8221; the S&amp;W .38 Special has been around since the 1930s.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revolvers are also known to be extremely reliable pistols. However, just like semi-automatics, they do require the same amount of proper maintenance and cleaning. If kept in great condition, revolvers are not susceptible to the feeding issues that semi-autos have. Is a revolver the best gun for small hands? Let&#8217;s take a look and find out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smith-wesson.com\/revolvers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This revolver<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is easily concealable and is more favorable over a semi-auto to those that carry in purses or coat and jacket pockets. If you were to fire multiple rounds with a semi-auto through a purse or pocket, it would most likely catch or snag due to the slide moving. The revolver doesn\u2019t run into this issue since the only thing moving is the cylinder rotating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are advantages and disadvantages of carrying a revolver. One advantage? You don&#8217;t need magazines or have to worry about any failures with them. A big disadvantage? Reloading. You won&#8217;t have a magazine to reload faster, if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The grip you use on a revolver is slightly different than that of a semi-automatic. Without knowledge and practice shooting a revolver, this is not a recommended pistol for a new shooter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are considering a revolver and you have smaller hands, consider the reach to get to the trigger as well as the weight of the trigger pull. If the trigger pull is heavy meaning you have to pull extremely hard, consider using your first knuckle on your trigger finger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4.

It is an all-metal pistol and is chambered in .380. If you\u2019re familiar with the 1911 platform, this pistol has an external thumb safety and a single-action trigger which should feel right at home with the location of the magazine release and slide stop lever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The grip on this pistol is very thin and short. Even with small hands, this pistol may cause you to lose your grip when shooting multiple rounds quickly. If you\u2019re able to test out a grip or even rent and shoot it, give it a try for yourself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5.

Is it the best gun for small hands? Again, it&#8217;s a very close call. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smith-wesson.com\/9ez\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shield EZ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was just recently released and focuses on an easy to rack slide and load assist tabs on their magazines for easy loading. Both pistols feature a thin, texturized grip and external safety. While these two compact pistols have several key differences, those with smaller hands will find both options comfortable to shoot and easy to conceal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing the two models, the Shield EZ comes with a much better trigger in my opinion. It also features the Picatinny rail. A Picatinny rail is a mounting system that allows you to mount accessories such as lights, lasers, and grips onto the gun. This rail is common on many guns making it easy to take a light off of one gun and put it on another. If you do decide to mount a light on your handgun for example, be sure to order a holster that fits with the light on the gun. The original Shield has a shorter barrel and overall length. The external safeties also vary so in the end, it comes down to personal preference when choosing between the two. Both pistols are part of the best guns for small hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6.

Some shooting ranges will have pistol rentals where you can shoot their guns at their range for a small fee. Ask friends and family if they or someone they know has the pistol you\u2019re most interested in and go to the range with them. Even if you can\u2019t live fire a pistol, go to your local gun store and grip as many as possible to find out what is most comfortable for your hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you&#8217;ve selected the best gun for small hands to conceal carry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/\">you&#8217;ll need ammo<\/a>. Don\u2019t forget to only carry with hollow points and practice shooting with hollow points as well to understand the difference they make in your pistol. Shoot as many rounds as possible when you\u2019re at the range to get comfortable and familiar with your concealed carry pistol. Practice drawing from concealment both with an empty pistol and once you\u2019re ready, with a loaded pistol.
