It’s just how it fits in people’s hands. Oddly enough I usually get in trouble with full size during transfers

yup
if you have gorilla fingers, it matters on grip size
thats why like my xds even the compact has the same grip size as service
my hellcat is SMALL but i still like her, gloves help

All depends on who makes it and caliber.

I carried full size g22 mostly during my law enforcement, the last few years of my career i graduated to a compact g23, currently carry mostly compact or sub compact, ie. Hellcat, xd 40 sub compact glock 27, glock 42, or the lcp max, it all depends on where I going and how I am dressed on which I carry
