The full-frame .45 Glock is just too big for most people. I know a few people who carry the compact .45 with no problem though. I carried a 22 and 23 for close to 8 of my ten years as a duty/backup weapon, never had a problem. I pumped thousands of rounds through both of them and never had any major hand problems. I did have problems with Sigs, the .357 beat the shit out of most of us (5000-6000 rounds a month). Prolly had something to do with more metal in the frames, etc. Why the governament went to Sigs for some agencies and not others I will never fully understand.
edit - On the Glocks, the newer frame style that came out around 4 years ago with the grooves in the handle didn't help anything. If your fingers didn't fit in them snuggly it sucked.
