This is going to seem very strange. I've kicked the idea of posting this here for quite a while, and finally decided, what the heck. May as well see if anyone else has the same problem. From what I've noticed (and I've been making it a point to look for the past few years), most people have a "bulging" bone in their thumb join.
I don't. Here's a picture of the joint area of my right thumb:
Notice that it's more flat/straight, rather than sort of bulging out, like (what I've noticed is) most other people's thumb joint, as is the case here (from the net):
I have average-size hands, but my thumb can't comfortably reach most automatic handgun magazine release buttons - because of this thumb joint, I assume. I find that with many handguns (especially Glocks), I have to rotate the grip counter-clockwise to reach the magazine release. It's not major - maybe from 12 0'clock to 10:30 - but it bothers me immensely, on a personal level more than anything else. Does anyone else have this problem? Did my bone just grow strangely, or what?
Edit:
Sorry the first picture is so big... tried making it smaller, but failed, evidently.
