Last Spring, I took a three day Advanced Pistol Operator class and shot my 226ST in 9mm and consumed ~1,700 rounds. This one couple were shooting a G22 and G23. At the end of the first day, their fingers were taped up. They've since moved on to 1911s and Glock 17s and 19s.

I can see taping the web of your dominant hand between thumb and forefinger - the glock frame rubs me bad there after 500 rounds or so. But I've done courses with my glock 29 10mm with no more significant soreness than my glock 26, glock 23, glock 21, or glock 34. And the 1911 can wear on the skin just as easily.

Interesting. These folks' fingers were rubbed raw with their 22 and 23 on their strong hand middle finger. I've since shot with them and I don't get through a mag or two and continue with one of my 1911s.

It's interesting how folks prefer certain calibers over others. Over the years, I've finally settled on 9mm, .45 auto, and more recently .38 Super.
