Really?  A PPK?  How so?  (not a troll, I'm really interested...)

There's really no right or wrong answer.  I prefer the 1911 because of
it's simple form, heft, and because it just "feels" right.  Kinda like
Irix - it just "feels" right.  Hard to explain...

My hands aren't really small, but my fingers are short and fat and my
palm is thick and wide - like sausages on the end of hams.  I can wrap
my hand around a double column grip frame, but I don't feel as if I have
enough control to use the weapon effectively.  Single stack is much more
comfortable for me.
