Large and squarish? I think they tend to look sleek and sexy - clearly designed by an Italian.
The guns you mentioned, while being capable guns, have small, skinny grips. Its been my experience that such undersized grips provide too little surface area to maintain a steady hold under recoil inertia. Some people, however, don't like a regular sized firearm, like the full sized Berettas.
Re: small persons shooting the Beretta well - Its basic marksmanship that says a gun which does not fit is difficult to shoot well. Thus, the fact that scads of small handed persons shoot full size handguns well would tend to indicate that the grips do indeed fit. Its just that some people dont like them. To call them "bricklike" merely illustrates how they feel to you, not that science has indeed proven them to be "bricklike". Its all quite relative and no shooter should avoid full sized handguns because they've heard the grips are "too big".
But thats just my opinion. And please insert (whatever full sized firearm you wish) in place of Beretta and I'd say my assumptions are still valid. Likewise, replace BHP or CZ with any other undersized, meagerly gripped handgun...
Happy shooting. Keep em in the A zones.
