Yep like my wife.. She has tiny tinny hands She's 5" both were to big for her.. She ended up with a Ruger LC9.. For her that make a good carry gun all day long.. Handle what you think you want and then a few other models.. I'm one that likes the compact.. But that said I was going from a S&W gen3 6906 nice chunky gun.. a Compact seemed small to me but then again I have large hands.. George
