Double-stack magazine, fat grip.

You could modify a GLOCK 21 to carry 15 rounds, but it wouldn't exactly be practical or comfortable unless you had huge hands.

As far as I know, Colt does not manufacture any pistols in .45 ACP with a double-stack magazine that could accomodate 15 rounds.

Pistols with a 15 rounds of 45. ACP are going to be hefty. It's just physics. No matter for whom they are designed.

And no recoil compensator is going to make the .45 ACP managable for someone as strong as the average 13-year-old girl (I would guess), not in rapid fire (which she will probably do) with one hand and while not in a proper shooting stance.

You do know that I'm nitpicking for the fun of it, right? ;)

But oddly enough, sins against plausibility do turn me against certain genres and worlds.

I can accept magic, dragons and such; as long as they are internally consistent. But setting something in a world which has evolved precisely like ours (or even purports to be like ours), but then doesn't obey the most basic physical laws, is too much for me.
