1911, Glock, XD Grip angle illustration

Found this on another board. Not ground breaking but interesting that the XD and 1911 are very close.

Yeah but he got his 50, probably too quick for a mod, sneeky little boy,

Not to disregard the OP, the link actually isn't working for me, but I have seen the comparison somewhere else. Interesting, but I still can't get into all the "grip angle" discussion myself. I pick up the gun, focus on the front sight and squeeze. All regardless of the angle.

It might, however explain why some are Glock buyers and some are XD buyers. I don't know.

Agreed. Regardless of the model, the procedure for getting lead on target is the same. Having said that, 1911s and XDms point more naturally for me than Glocks, which is why I prefer the former. But with the popularity of Gaston's guns, I freely admit I must be in the minority.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I need to look at those dates more closely!
