Small hands + 1911 + 9mm = Springfield EMP.

I really loved mine but I thought it was just a little too small for my average sized hands.

If price were no concern, the EMP would be my first choice, hands down, because it is a 1911, and the mini-1911 issues are solved because the entire gun is scaled down like the Colt mini .380 1911's. I fell in love with the EMP the first time I held one...but could not cough up the asking price.

Economics were the motivating factor for why I would look at the Ruger.

Will look into the Springfield EMP and the Ruger.  I like Rugers, just haven't been able to wrap my head around the poly pistols yet.

What about a Para carry in 9 mm?  Spied a used one recently.  Was also thinking maybe A Smith 3913 if I can find one.

The Smith 39 looks right, but haven' fondled one yet

M&P Shield shoots very well, is very very slim and very affordable if you shop around. Between $400-$475 is about right, anything more is bogus.

This one is $449.00 NIB with two mags.

Good luck finding one.
I have seen a few of the S&W 469 and 669 for sale used recently, they were the compact version of the double stack Model 59 .
About the same price I paid for a new one in 1986 , under $500

If you want a 1911 platform check out the STI Spartan and Trojan.

Don't overlook the Springfield 9 MM. It comes in both a Tactical Model with Novak Sights, and the Target Model with fully adjustable Target Sights. It's quickly becoming my favorite 9 MM paper puncher.
