I have a glock 36 that I really love, but it beats up my hand. I like the 45 round and like the glock. Anyone have a 30s or 30sf? What do you think? My hands are on the small side

I just bought the new long slide 41 but it's only modestly narrower.  Why not get a 1911 if you want something slimmer?

Rob how do you like it?

Yea, my recommendation would be to go bigger if it's hurting your hand.  Try a G21 or a G41.  Or do you prefer those smaller guns for concealability purposes?  If you have no need to conceal it then a 21 or 41 might be a good choice for you.  They would likely be easier on you due to the larger size.  If you don't have to stick with glock then a 1911 might be the way.  I have small hands too and my full size 1911 treats me very well.  I'm also trying to get my hands on a G21 or G41, but I'm waiting on permits.

Unfortunately I haven't shot it.  I picked it up last week with the hopes to hit WP range this weekend.  Family obligations prevented that from happening.  I'll be shooting it this week and will give my impressions right afterward.  I'm hoping it's really good like the reviews.  

G21 or G21SF

Dare I say .45GAP? 37,38,39

I have a glock 30 gen 4 also owned glock 30 sf gen 3 , VERY VERY nice and mild shooting handguns. If you like the size I recommend that, I pick up a 21 tomorrow. The 30 fully loaded has some weight to it which I believe helps with the recoil. Its probably one of my favorite handguns I own.  Hold both the 30 and 21 and see which one feels good. If you have small to medium hands I recommend the gen 4 or gen 3 sf models. A pierce mag plus 0 extension with the little pinky grip is the icing on the cake.
