I really like the Glock 9 gen 4. For you smaller gals it is really nice and easy. EVERY female that has used it now wants it! A few of the guys have switch from thier Springfield as well. If you are really unsure find the side arm that feels great in your hand, go to Clackamas safety range and rent it, shoot your heart out. Only experiance and YOUR comfort level matters. Any recommendations are just that.
