All of my smaller framed guns have had grip replacements done in order to provide a larger, more hand filling grip.
Even all of my AR-15's have had their stock plastic grips changed out to the more hand filling Ergo Deluxe Tactical Grip. Because of that all of these little pocket guns are all but useless. I recently purchased a Bond Arms Stainless Steel Derringer in .45 Colt / 3" .410, because I loved the quality of it's construction. I can barely shoot it because the thing is just too small to hold on to. For people like me a larger, more hand filling gun is the only option for accurate shooting. Small guns are like small shoes. They just don't fit.
This also is obviously a personal preference. I'm not a big guy so I prefer single-stack pistols with slim grips. Many full-size and/or double-stack guns have a grip that's just too far around for me to feel like I've got a solid grip on it.
