| Have heard that this 9 MM is as good as the Berettas the Army went with. (I preferred by old .45 but thats not my question or comment.) Does anyone feel that someone with smaller hands would be better off with a different 9mm ? (Thinking about this firearm mostly for my wife.- I don't know if she will take to my Springfield .45 much.) |

The grips on the PT-92 are as large as the Beretta 92...that could be a problem for smaller hands. If I recall, Uncle Mike's makes plain thinner checkered rubber panels, which may help. There are boatloads of other 9s that do have smaller grips, enough perhaps to visit a well stocked gunshop for a "fitting". |
It is a single action, like your 1911, however the trigger is not the same and there is a lot of takeup, and a gritty, heavy pull due to the magazine safety installed. My FN HP had a very good trigger after I removed the mag safety, but still a lot of takeup. They are fine pistols, nonetheless, and I love the feel of my FN.
