Grip angle...

[Steelharp]

Glock's are different than 1911's. Glock's are "more forward," for lack of terminology? What other guns are similar to the Glock angle?

Snatched from another forum...

First of all, the "Glock" grip angle is far from being a uniquely Glock feature. There are several other well-known pistols with a very similar grip angle, including the very first 9mm pistol (Luger), the Steyr M series pistols, the H&K P7, and the Ruger Mk II & III to name a few. These guns all have grip angles of 110 degrees, give or take a degree. I believe the Glock grip angle is actually 109 degrees.

I believe the 1911 grip angle is actually closer to 103 degrees (13 degrees using your measurement technique) but there are probably folks here that are more knowledgeable about the 1911 design.

So far, one useful response. I'll entertain others...

mikegideon beat me to the punch as I was thinking Luger & Ruger. Personally, I like the grip angle.

[Steelharp]

I do, too. That's why I was wondering what other options there are. After shooting an SR9 a little, I found it messing with my Glock pointing. I don't want to do that again, so I was just wondering what else was similar in angle to the Glock.

I don't mind the grip angle at all on the Glock. The only thing I do not like is the bulging backstrap. It just doesn't fit my hand all that well. If it was flat, it would be perfect.

[Guest goosebob]

I never did like the way Glocks felt in my hands. Wasn't comfortable.

But the Steyr...like a glove!

S&W sigma has a similar angle

There are few pistols out there with a similar "angle". Whats unique to the grip is the "hump" on the back of the grip. Alot of people perceive it as part of the grip angle but really its doing much more to your grip. Its a love it or hate thing. Problem is...I don't know know of any other pistols that have a radical hump like that on the bottom like that.
