Because you said you'd like to carry and a large caliber I'd suggest a S&W 45shield. It's not super expensive, compact, and shoots nicely in my opinion.
ACK! I read this post and commented, "M&P makes a really nice .45 don't they?" without reading your comment. I shot this gun down in Houston and it was amazing for its sized. Fit my girl hands perfectly.
Awesome fren, the M&P series firearms are all really nice to shoot. One of my good friends has a full frame M&P competitor thats really a joy to fire and the 40cal compact M&P shield. I actually prefer the 9mm and 45cal in the shield over the 40cal. It just seems to be more comfortable to shoot and easier to re-engage the target after firing in those calibers for me. And full disclosure I also suffer from small hand syndrome, Ha!
