Other than 1911s I always suggest SIGs, though the operation of the two is different I have no problems from switching back and forth from the two...
If you like .45s like I do, the P220, and the new P245 COMPACT are excellent pistols...
Also, SIG offers "short" triggers for people with smaller hands...
And because SIGs .45s are "single-stacks" people with smaller hands may find them more attractive than the beefy stocked GLOCKS and HK USPs...
I own a SIG P220 and think the world of it...
All SIGs are GREAT, but the P220 is my favorite model from them...
The P220 is extremely accurate out of the box, reliable as any semi-auto, and makes a great home defense pistol (you can mount a flash light and laser on it) as well as range gun...
Good luck...
