Size, particularly weight. Berettas are a handful compared to Glocks. Smaller males and most females had problems with the grip and how far you had to reach for the trigger. Simplicity was another big factor. A lot of officers don't put in enough time with weapon handling and a lot of dept's don't make them (or can't afford to). Glocks seemed to do the trick with no safeties, decockers, etc.
