For me, the 1911 had a pathetic angle (or I was just a pathetic shooter. Equally likely). I aimed the thing, expecting to see a nice hole in the board. Instead, there's a hole in the dirt. Fire again. Dirt flies up.
Yes, this is the first pistol I'd ever owned (aside from a single-shot bb gun that's a little tough to point shoot... did point shoot a nice hole in a window with it once by accident). The 1911 w/arched whatchamacallit messed me up. Now, several months after getting a set of lasergrips and wearing out batteries by point-shooting dust bunnies, I've gotten close to spot-on, and compensating for the arch is second-nature. After you've gripped-and-aimed a gun about twenty thousand times, it becomes more natural.
Then my kid brother got some airsoft guns. The USP was similar to the 1911... I felt I had to compensate for the grip a bit. But the Walther P99... maybe there's less room for movement on that grip. The thing fit perfectly the first time, and aimed up just right. May get one this Christmas... despite the fact that I don't care for polymer pistols.
