- I suspect this will be echoed several times (if *this* isn't already an
- echo ;-). Consider a Browning High Power. I have fairly small mitts,
- and it fits my hand better than any other high-cap 9mms. Were I in the

- a couple months ago, I would have to consider it, too, in *spite* of a
- larger grip. It might be worth learning to compensate for it.

- and in spite of using a single stack mag (9 rds.) it borders on being too
- big as well.
