In my case, a P226 points exactly naturally BUT I can't shoot it worth a darn. A glock doesn't point naturally at all, yet I can hit a pop can at 50' without much effort. My brief point is, I don't think grip angle matters much at all so long as you're competent with what you pick up
I do something like the gun store cowboy, but I like to think its a little more legit...I pick a spot...close my eyes and bring the gun up to shooting position, and then open my eyes to see how far off it is... my 19x(Glock 17 Grip)with the largest blackstrap is perfect both in windage and elevation.In my research I found this post over on AR15.com.......
My favorite is when a guy in a gunstore picks up a Glock, places his hand ultra-low on the grip, tea-cups with his support hand and strikes his best T.J. Hooker Weaver Stance while squinting through one eye and then pronounces that the "grip angle doesn't point naturally". He'll often then follow this up by placing the gun back on the counter with a look of disgust.
This gunstore cowboy performance art is occasionally taken to it's apex when said practitioner of dumbassadry picks up a Taurus Judge and comments on how you get "three shots for one". View attachment 577003
*fun fact* The only pistol that has the perfect grip angle for everyone is the Highpoint C9. No matter what your hand size, bone structure, or shooting style... the C9 delivers!
Yeah?Now you're just making sh!t up.
I've successfully "shot my gun" with plenty of different grip angles.
No, I didn't make this thread for that joke, it just came to me. I swear!
I don't think much about it.
I've been shooting Glocks and just recently a P80 (Glock clone) which uses the 18 degree 1911 grip angle.
The Glock grip angle story that I read somewhere goes like this...
When Gaston Glock was designing G17 he wanted feedback on grip angle.
So out of wood, he mocked up a G17 shape with an adjustable grip angle.
He passed it around to all of his friends/associates and carefully recorded their preferred angles.
21.5 degrees won.
