| quote: but how do you get used to the grip angle
In 2005 I switched over from SIGs to the Glock 19. The grip angle was different for me. What I did was enter into an intense (for me anyways) practice regiment to get used to it. I ran 50-100 rds 2x each week at the range. I also ran my dry fire drills with the weapon 3-4x each week. I did this for 2 months. At the end of that time, the grip angle issue was non-existent for me. And shortly thereafter, I was shooting the 19 better than my SIGs on the drills/courses of fire that I used during our weekly defensive pistol league. I really like my 19!

Yes, I did. Gen 3 G32, and couldn't be happier. The ugly duckling that just plain works |

| ardbeg, I agree that the Glock grip angle can feel strange by just handling one. You have to shoot a Glock for a while, and shoot it fast, and all falls into place. The grip angle lends itself very well to combat and stress reaction. Bill
HK, Glock, Walther and SIG are my choice in handguns. Weapon Shield CLP for all pistol care. It is a hell of a lot easier to get out of jail than it is to get out of the morgue...

| Sure, I'd trust my life to a Glock, no question. Good guns. But if I could trust my life to a Sig or CZ instead, I would.

| Glock #31, purchased 12/09 Glock #19, purchased 12/10 Glock #26, purchased last Monday Glock #17, down payment last Monday, pick it up tomorrow. All were lightly used. The #31 & #19 went to the factory for night sights and a physical. The #26 & #17 will get the same treatment. I am not a fan, but have come to realize these guns are utility pieces. If lost, stolen, confiscated, or consumed in a fire a Glock can be replaced quickly, inexpensively, and just about anywhere. Sort of like a Sears Craftsman tool. |

Well this is a kind of in your face challenge, which keeps popping up on a Sig forum. Sorta like peeing in my front yard. Don't really care, but your bound to get called out. |
