Unlike semi-automatic handguns, a revolver doesn\u2019t have a magazine in the grip. This means the grip can be fairly small and easily customizable with a variety of aftermarket grips, allowing for greater customization of grip size and shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revolver shooters don\u2019t have to worry about operating slide or magazine releases either so that consideration is off the table. Due to the nature of the design, trigger reach isn\u2019t going to be a big deal either. Most of the problems small shooters have are cured with a revolver.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1791-chest-holster-1024x730.jpg\" alt=\"smith &amp; wesson model 10 no lock with a 1791 gunleather pathfinder chest holster small hands\" class=\"wp-image-214721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1791-chest-holster-1024x730.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1791-chest-holster-400x285.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1791-chest-holster-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1791-chest-holster-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1791-chest-holster.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Revolvers are fantastic for shooters regardless of their hand size <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, revolvers have their disadvantages. First, they have limited capacity. A standard centerfire revolver will often hold between five and seven rounds. Some rimfire guns can hold more. That\u2019s still less than an automatic, especially when size is considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revolvers are also slower to reload and have a more complicated manual of arms. Double-action triggers can take additional time to master, and if you have smaller hands and poor hand strength, the DAO triggers can be tiresome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, which revolver would I suggest for small hands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ruger-lcr\">Ruger LCR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/products\/lcr\/models.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"handguns-for-women-and-men-with-small-hands\" title=\"Handguns for Women and Men With Small Hands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ruger LCR<\/a> works as my revolver suggestion because it comes in all sorts of sizes, configurations, and calibers. You can get the standard .38 Special, but you can also use .22LR, <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=.22%20Magnum\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"handguns-for-women-and-men-with-small-hands\" title=\"Handguns for Women and Men With Small Hands\">.22 Magnum<\/a>, .357 Magnum, 9mm, .327 Federal Magnum, and .32 H&amp;R Magnum. You can get a snub nose carry gun, an enclosed hammer, an exposed hammer, and even a three-inch barrel model. All those different cartridges and configurations mean there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"LCR and Ammo\" class=\"wp-image-211729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_2206-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The new Ruger LCR, in .32 H&amp;R Magnum, has a lot going for it. Shown with Hamre Forge stocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Traditional DAO revolver triggers, especially on small guns, can feel like you&#8217;re dragging a brick through sand. They often &#8220;stack,&#8221; meaning the pull weight increases significantly as you near the break. The LCR, thanks to the friction-reducing cam, is remarkably smooth from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LCR series has a price that varies, but they tend to be on the budget-friendly side. The use of polymer keeps them light but makes them cheaper to produce. This gun won\u2019t win any beauty pageants, but if you\u2019re chasing performance and looking to outfit small hands, it\u2019s the gun to go with. Most revolvers would fit the small hands requirement, but the LCR is a workhorse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-automatics-for-small-hands\">The Best Automatics for Small Hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Semi-automatics do present some challenges depending on the gun. Some guns just have big grips. I\u2019d never suggest a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=beretta%2092fs\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"handguns-for-women-and-men-with-small-hands\" title=\"Handguns for Women and Men With Small Hands\">Beretta 92FS<\/a> for someone with small hands. Magazine size and caliber can often determine the size of the grip. If you have small hands, then a 10mm double stack isn\u2019t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WaltherPPSM2-2-1024x544.jpeg\" alt=\"What I Love &amp; Hate About the Walther PPS M2 small hands\" class=\"wp-image-95020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WaltherPPSM2-2-1024x544.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WaltherPPSM2-2-150x80.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WaltherPPSM2-2-400x212.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WaltherPPSM2-2-768x408.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WaltherPPSM2-2.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What I Love &amp; Hate About the Walther PPS M2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there are plenty of automatics out there that offer you a small, thin grip. With semi-autos, a shooter does need to be able to work the slide confidently and correctly, as well as reach the slide release and magazine release. You should factor that in when you consider an automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have more than one automatic to pick from, so let\u2019s dive into my choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sig-p365-and-variants\">SIG P365 (And Variants)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigsauer.com\/firearms\/pistols\/p365.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"handguns-for-women-and-men-with-small-hands\" title=\"Handguns for Women and Men With Small Hands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">P365<\/a> revolutionized the micro-compact market. Its incredibly thin grip profile makes it exceptionally comfortable for small hands. Plus, you aren\u2019t sacrificing capacity for size; the gun can hold anywhere from 10 to 17-round magazines. The trigger reach is short, and controls are easy to reach. The P365 is highly shootable for its size.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SIG-P365.jpg\" alt=\"best handguns P365\" class=\"wp-image-214582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SIG-P365.jpg 700w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SIG-P365-383x300.jpg 383w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SIG-P365-150x118.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SIG P365 created the micro compact genre (SIG)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are several variants, like the XL and X model with longer grips, but they all manage to stay very thin and svelte.

They produced single-stack 9mm handguns with extremely thin and comfortable grips. The 43X offers a shorter slide and barrel, but a full-length, svelte grip with a 10-round capacity. The 48 adds a longer slide for better sight radius and velocity and has a grip identical to the 43X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_847-1024x765.jpeg\" alt=\"My New Favorite Glock, The Slimline Glock 48\" class=\"wp-image-119061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_847-1024x765.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_847-150x112.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_847-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_847-768x574.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_847.jpeg 1898w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My New Favorite Glock, The Slimline Glock 48<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both have the signature Glock simplicity and reliability but work much better for shooters with small hands.
