Don't know about the tingling, that sounds odd, but it doesn't surprise me you don't like the grip feel of the Glock 17, it's way curvy. Try the 19 in 9mm, although I guess it's not full size, but it works like one.

I think the XD series has better ergonomics than the Glocks. They even shaped the trigger safety better so it doesn't stick out and sting your finger on recoil. Why Glock has never corrected its design, I don't know. I don't think Glocks handle recoil as well as XDs and other brands either. Really good guns, NOT perfect for everyone.....

You are right to experiment, and grip feel counts alot....
