pax,
my wife is sleeping so I'm not going to wake her up to measure anything, besides, her Kahr P9 is on the night stand and I don't want to startle her.

If it helps, she is small, 100 lbs, 5'1", petite, size 2, small hands. When she wanted a pistol, we shopped at several gun shops where she tried several handguns for "fit". She liked the way the Kahr P9 felt so she rented one at a range and shot a box of range ammo thru it. Recoil was acceptable to her. Then she bought one about a year ago. She has no complaints about her 9mm Kahr P9.

Hope this helps a little. She carries in a Galco Meridian purse.
Paul
ps the G26 was too large for her hands.
