I believe way before anyone even knew the term "ergonmics," the gun makers of the early 1900's like S&W and Colt knew the way a gun MUST feel. Case in point, a S&W revolver or a model 1911.
Almost everyone that has held one has said that this gun style feels just right.
A hundred years later Glock, H&K, Sig has followers, but they just don't have the same feel for pointing and balance that the older guns do.
I find this interesting to the point of incredible.
Its not a matter of reliablity I'm stating, just a look and a feel. Kinda of an intangible thing.
Is it because that is how a gun should feel or is it because that is the way we learned (perceived) a gun should feel?
