I don't think that I understand this. I thought that the 1911, a .45ACP, was one of the BEST guns for folks with smaller hands. More important, the .40 S&W offerings, at least originally, were ALL larger (in grip circumference and most other measurements) than the 1911. Probably bigger than a 645, too. Perhaps this has changed in recent years. Do you know of any gun in .40 S&W that is more suitable for small hands than the 1911?
