My thoughts too for exactly the same reasons.Charles L. Cotton wrote:I own Glocks and I must admit I don't like them at all. The biggest problem is the grip angle is significantly different from 1911's that I have carried and used for decades. I also don't like the brick feel of a Glock, but some people like it.
If you intend to get a 1911, or most any other automatic that has pretty much the same grip angle, then I'd stay away from Glocks.

Glocks are beautifully engineered highly reliable tools - but their ergonomics are horrible and haven't much changed for the better in nearly 40 years, while other manufacturers have caught up on reliability and polymer frames and are light years ahead in ergonomics.
