They were concerned about how well they could grip the pistol, given its small size. I answered by posting a couple of photos in the comments and thought it would be good to share them here along with the comments so everyone can see.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Mark said<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p>How is it to shoot? I\u2019ve been thinking of getting one this year and was worried about how short the grip was. It seems about like my Walther PPK\/S in length but with a .45 I&#8217;m a bit worried.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Sig94 said<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p>Same concern here. My Beretta Mini-Cougar is a great little piece as long as the standard mag is used with the pinkie rest. The other mag is shorter and my pinkie feels all naked and afraid hanging off the bottom of the grip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Cap&#8217;n Bob said<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p>Damsel can grip the pistol without the extended magazine since her hands are small. I, on the other hand (no pun intended), find it\u2019s more comfy with the extension. Fortunately, both magazine styles are available. And this little gun kicks too. Without the extension, it wants to jump out of my hands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/d-grip.jpg' alt='d-grip.jpg' width='250' class='left' \/><img src='http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/b-grip.jpg' alt='b-grip.jpg' width='250' class='right' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got comments on Damsel&#8217;s post, &#8216;My Shiny Girl Gun,&#8217; from Mark and Sig94 regarding the grip on her Para Warthog.
