    Double stack .40 with short trigger reach

    I'm small handed shooter. I recently shot my G27 gen 3. Love the 40 round, and I get a decent grip on it. The trigger reach is a bit much. I'm looking at getting a full sized .40 as well, but want something I can reach the trigger better on. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I hate my Glock 30

    Title says it. I just fired my G30 for the first time today. I didn't like it. Not sure if it's due to my small hands or what, but I just couldn't grip it in a way that didn't scratch my hands.

    I have a 6" Stainless .357 Security Six, and I'm looking to sell it. I paid around $400 for it, and that's my starting point for selling it. Is this around the right price range? Bore is clean, it is accurate and in great condition. Stainless finish, original Ruger box.
