Plus 1 more on the M+P (with smallest of interchangeable backstraps) suggestion. Ours (aquired specifically for training purposes) came with two magazines, one of which has the "pinky extension". Such is an aftermarket item for the Glock magazines - and makes the 26 grip almost as long as the 19 grip.

I've also found the 9mm Kahrs often to to be a "best fit" for some with small hands/short fingers. The heavy Model K-9 is also frequently appreciated by the recoil-sensitive.

A visual side-by-side comparision of the M+P Compact, Glock 19 and K-9 is on "Handguns 101" page at http://www.dentoncountysports.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. That photograph is by no means a substitute for The Wife getting to dry fire (or preferably shoot 'em), but it does a good job of depicting 3 other striker-fired options that have simplicity similar to the Glocks.
