My G30 fits me perfectly. I don't have big hands. I have long skinny hands.
The keyword in your sentence is “me” as in you. If you like your Glock 30, good for you. I’ve got to admit that, putting aside the cost of the ammo, I find it way more comfortable and fun to shoot than a Glock 19. I’m all for the maximum diversity on the market, in order for everyone to find one’s perfect gun.
longposting ahead :
My point was, and still is, that selecting a handgun is a matter of compromise, between firepower, shootability, footprint, price, etc.
Glock pistols are favored among beginning shooters because they are reasonably priced, modern, polyvalent and accurate, have a huge aftermarket following, a great reputation for reliability, and have huge firepower for a handgun.
All is that is great, but more than a few people can’t handle them perfectly (or sometimes even correctly) because of their grip girth. The consequence is a lot of frustration, ingraining bad habits, and/or lack of pleasure at shooting*.
Buying a Glock (or any kind of wondernine** for that matter) should be the result of at least one live test and a rational, balanced study of the compromise I was talking about earlier, not just peer pressure nor following fashion***.
That’s why I’m defending the SIG-Sauer P225**** as one of the very rare pistol easily shot by almost everybody*****. That point may be moot for you if you intend to be the sole user of your pistol ; for several reasons, it’s not my case — and that is why I’m very inclined toward universality and inclusiveness******.
If you compare the P225 to a Glock 43, also a very comfortable pistol to hold, even with very little hands, even with my big hands, its bulk redeems itself when it’s time to shoot it.
Take a beginner, give him or her a P225 (or a 9x19 P220, a SIG P210, a CZ 75*******...), the results in target will be good at 10 meters, and all shots will still be in the frame of the target at 25. Give him or her a Glock 43, you’ll have flyers outside the frame of the target as soon as 7 meters.
*(and by consequence, at training. To quote His Holiness Jeff Cooper, owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician)
**(in the broadest sense — a double-column magazine, non-steel framed pistol, either in 9x19, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, .45 GAP or .45 ACP)
***(the “tactical” advantage of a modern wondernine over a .38 Special middle frame blued steel revolver being mostly psychological)
****(and single stack magazine pistols in general)
*****(at least in single action for kids)
******(compromises, compromises)
*******(I know comparing a Glock 43 and a P220 is cheating, but you get my point. I also know the CZ 75 use a double-stack magazine, but still got an excellently designed grip)Â

My experience with .22wmr is that it is better then .22lr. It has at 100yds what .22lr has at the muzzle. Wind bucks it less and recoil is the same. Superior cartridge in every way. That is why I asked and why I found that other .22 odd.
.22 Magnum is probably an excellent cartridge, it’s just not a cartridge for competitive target shooting. A competition looks like that :

You mean infantry rifle. Well then again USMC Gunny Sgt. used my favorite rifle the pre-64 Winchester model 70 in .30-06sprig. Now that is a bolt action rifle.

Why not just use .22wmr (magnum)?
Thanks for that question, because it made me learn a few things.
To answer your question, I’m not sure the .22 WMR is a good target shooting cartridge, at least for the usual distances of competition (10, 25 and 50 meters). Most competitive cartridges are loaded as little as possible to limit recoil, noise and flash but preserve a straight trajectory to the intended target (i.e. : .22 Short, .22 LR, .32 S&W WC, .38 WC, etc.).
But that would be a very generic answer. A most appropriate one is this : the Haemmerli 100 production spans from 1933 to 1949, when the .22 WMR was only introduced in 1959.
And thank to that research, I’ve learned the Haemmerli 100 was using a Martini-Henry action, something that will probably rejoice @idontbuildbridges.
