I have big hands for a gal but small for a guy (about a No. 9 or 10 glove). The 1911A1 does not require a large hand, probably because of the flat sides. With fairly thin rubber Pachmayr grips on my Stainless Officer's Model, it's a nice easy fit. I do NOT like the S&W .41 Mag with the rubber Pachmayrs because it's a big handful for me.
I would say a 1911A1 with low profile grips ought to fit most any hand (my daughter started shooting it when she was 11).

I had wanted to get an H&K USP in .45, but my hands really are too small even for that.
(Artist's hands, so I'm told.)
I'll probably have to shop around for a pistol that fits my hand, not sure my glove size.
I'd have to dig out my dress uniform gloves to look, and I'm not sure where I buried them in my things once I left the uniform.
