John, This is called a compact, but I would advise shooting one. I have large hand and it is a reach to get the trigger finger out to the double action trigger position. It is a good 1/2" reach from double action to single action. The trigger is way out there for double action and almost against the trigger guard for single action. I would say there are many better size and ergonomic feeling compacts on the market for a shooter with small hands. Look at the S&W M&P 2.0 Shield in 45 ACP---------budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/19663/smith+%26+wesson+m%26p+shield+45+acp+33+w%2f+thumb+safety+7rd+6rd

John, it would be close but should fit Sir. I recommend going to a local gun shop and trying some compact pistols first hand to ensure no surprises. Cheers!
