I like Glocks. Mostly. I think they are a bit overpriced, and not the most attractive pistol. I get that the stock trigger can be a bit too gritty or too stiff.
But I simply don't understand the grip angle complaint.
I'm beginning to suspect that it is a made-up thing by people that had a Glock touch them inappropriately so they have an excuse to not like them.
I've had a few carry pistols over the years. My favorite was a Walther P99 in .40 S&W in the early 2000's, before they got all funky looking with goofy slides. Then I got into XDs, before the Grip Zone retardation phase. Then I found M&Ps and carried them. Now I rotate between a Gen 5 G19 and a S&W M&P40c 1.0.
As I was fondling them both tonight, I got to thinking about the whole "Glock grip angle is awful and I can't get comfortable with it..." controversy.
So I compared my G19 and my M&P40c side by side and really can't see a difference in grip angle. Both feel pretty darn good, or they wouldn't be my carry guns. The M&P is a little smaller overall, which is why it is my primary carry pistol.
But grip angle???
Maybe I'm just not high-speed enough to realize how offensive and awful a couple of degrees difference is??
Can someone explain exactly what the problem is with the Glock grip angle, or is it a thinly veiled excuse to not like a pistol?
