Glock grip angle sucks!

When I grip a Glock, I just point my thumb or thumbs at the target. The sights align perfectly for me when I do that.

Years and years ago, I had an XD sub compact and was considering a G26 because of how the shorter grip length concealed for me.  So I rented a G26.

I felt the XD pointed more naturally, and felt better in the hand.  With slow fire I was equally accurate with both, so it seemed like the XD was a no brainer, but importantly, as I started picking up the pace and shooting faster I found that I shot significantly better with the G26.

My guess was that because the Glocks point slightly high for me, it was easier to keep track of the front sight throughout the recoil sequence and since I never "lost" the front sight it was quicker for me to get back to the correct sight picture to break the next shot with the Glock.  This may be a non-issue to others, your mileage may vary, but that was the dawning for me that how a gun "feels" in the hand doesn't matter as much as how well you shoot it and there's no substitute for renting and trying different ones.  It felt like I was choking out spongebob with the Glock, but I couldn't argue with the results, and swapped to the G26.

I still have Glocks but since then I've switched to a P365 for daily carry

Polymer80 replacement Glock frames have a grip angle that mimics a 1911.
