What Glock Has Taught Me - Grip Angle

Ғылым және технология

I bought a glock 19 MOS gen 5 with a Trijicon SRO and a StreamLight TLR7. This is the first Glock I have ever owned and I just could not fall in love with it, despite how much I wanted to.
I did a lot of natural point of aim practice and kept aiming high. I diagnosed the suppressor height sites, the SRO shape, and eventual eliminated them as the culprit. I eventually compared the glock to other pistols and figured out there was a difference in the grip angle that I had not experienced, before.
I explain that difference and compare it with other firearms of similar size.

    Anyway, here's a brownie recipe: Ingredients: - 1 cup of butter - 2 cups of sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 1 cup of all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/4 teaspoon of salt - 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. 2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. 3. Beat in flour, cocoa, and salt. If desired, fold in nuts. 4. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. 5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overcook; the brownies should be moist in the center. 6. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your delicious homemade brownies!!

    I can't say that "so many people don't like the glock grip angle" because no one has really brought it to my attention. I had to figure it out for myself. I just knew that people love glocks and people hate glocks. Some people love glocks because it's the only pistol they know. Some people love glocks because they've tried a variety and it works best for them. I know some people hate glocks simply because every one else loves them. Some people hate glocks because they just don't work for them.

    As a "1911 grip style" shooter transitioning to the glock, what i do notice is, that the grip allows the shooter to get a "high grip" up on the beaver tail, combined with the fact the glock is a low bore axis type of gun, it really helps out with recoil management and faster target acquisition after a shot is fired.

    Not only is the Glock handle 2 to 4 degrees extreme in angle, but it also has a bump to fill the hand, which angles the hand a degree or two degrees more. Pushing the top of the hand forward and pushing the bottom of the hand backwards. The Luger may have some similarities, but Glock handles are a complete unicorn. I would argue Glock handles have at least three odd dimensions to the handle shape. Whereas, the Luger handle may be better in some ways. Glock trigger guards are small enough to cause an issue for gloved-hand users. Glock will be almost perfect when they redesign the handle and enlarge the trigger guard while still not giving owners an ambidextrous manual safety switch or an ambidextrous magzine release.

    Your reason is accurate, it’s a known fact about the grip angle of Glocks. Which is why when you see a Glock person they tend to have like 4 to 5 different Glocks in their possession cause they got so use to that weird angle its hard for them to shoot anything else good. Unless you are ready to fully invest into the Glock platform, it’s a gun you might wanna skip over no matter how trendy they are.

You can buy a serialized frame drop your parts in it and you'll be happy I believe. But if you're not satisfied with your 19 you can always trage it for a 1911👍

    I’m in the same boat as you are. I hate the Glock angle, but I learned to work with it. Next time you have your eyes closed just remember to point with your thumbs when you present the firearm. Even though I’m so good with my Glock 19 I still hate Glock lol. Try adding a Magwell to give you extra length. If you carry an extra magazine, use the Glock 17 magazine to make reloads extra easy and carry the 15 round mags in the Glock. Pro tip. On your support hand instead of point forward with your thumb, do a thumbs over the slide without touching but that’s OK because your palm will still be gripping the frame, and then squeeze. This is called a high grip.

    This is why people are so divided on Glocks. People that start out with a Glock love them as they are a great firearm and they cut their teeth on that grip so it’s what they know. My understanding was that the concept was aimed at better recoil control since they were creating a lighter firearm at the time these were developed, (although a proper grip has been found to invalidate this concept). I also find that I have to conform to the firearm rather than the firearm conforming to me. Just have to find what works for you and stick with it.

    You mentioned the M4. If you use the standard grip on that, it's very similar. Maybe even a few degrees further from vertical. With anything you have to practice until it's just muscle memory. The grip. The optic. The trigger. Glocks (and I have a lot of them) actually cause my wrist to bend far enough to the outside that it effects the nerve bundle that goes through the outside of the grip into the hand. Prolonged use and my hand goes totally numb. I can't feel anything, including the Glock, with that hand. I haven't come up with a work around on that yet, so I'm carrying my Old P229 or a P365.

I hope you can find a solution for your wrist and can keep shooting your Glock.

    I like the Glock grip angle. I think that needing to torque my wrist forward helps with reducing muzzle flip. I've also competed with a 1911 and a Beretta PX4, which both have more natural grip angles compared to the Glock. When I first got a Glock I did find that I was pointing it a little high, but a lot of proper deliberate practice made it a non-issue.

    Most if not all pistols have differences in grip and some not all have different grip angles. In your situation since you don’t want to “compensate” your grip angle would recommend you try out a firearm before buying. I have 1911’s favorite angle personally as well as Glocks, Shadow Systems pistols which have backstraps that make it easier to find an angle to your liking and Beretta’s. Almost all have different grip angles. I practice with all of them and shoot all them fairly well. Mostly because I practice a lot with them. My EDC is a Glock 43x and I practice the most with that one because that’s the one a carry the most but I love all my guns. Some more than others and some angles more than others also. With that being said practice with what you are comfortable with and stick to that as your EDC.

    Try the Holosun SCS or EPS made for Glock , it sets lower designed to CO-WITTNESS with stock hight sights , you'll be much happier. SRO is made for target range shooting, not a carry weapon. The grip angle is designed to rotate the wrist up for better alignment with the bore . Holosun EPS comes in two sizes EPS carry is for slim line slides . I run the EPS green MRS on My 19 , the dot is just above My iron sights but I can still see the top of My sights through the glass , its an enclosed emitter so nothing can get inside the optic designed for carry .

    the principle of the glock angle is much like the priciple of shooting a bow with a straight wrist (fred asbell vs grip of a mechanical bow)versus the seeming more natural purchase you feel with a 1911 grip. more of a traditional archer principle; the straight wrist is the most true axis of your pointer to your eye. instinctive shooting without fixed sights is based upon this method because its one that lends to more accurate shooting.

But with a better trigger the g17 is just a a little worse, but I believe it's because of the rivals longer barrel and mine is a lot heavier with a Tungsten guide rod and brass backstrap.

    @jaydavis6594 I'm talking about my scores from a match. Stock for stock I score better with the Canik. It's just an overall better gun for USPSA. But, I'm pretty close with the G17. The G17 has less muzzle flip because of the exaggerated grip angle. The G17 forces u to lock your wrists, where the Canik doesn't and has more muzzle flip. But, I can still shoot the Canik a tad faster. Presentation is the same on both for me, as I can acquire my red dot almost instantly upon presentation with both pistols. I will say that it took thousands of dry fire, draw reps and range reps to get to this point though.

    I like the Glock grip angle for what is likely to be an uncommon reason - it uses the same angle as the punch in the style of Karate (Isshin Ryu) I train uses. I still don't have any issues with my 1911s or other guns. It's a slight preference, not a deal breaker. With the original grips & T-grip adapter on my 38 Special M&P I have to move the angle even further forward than with a Glock.

    I started out with Glocks and then switched to a dozen other pistols before coming back to Glock because initially I hated that grip angle. I found once I got really competent with shooting on 1911 grip angle guns that when I switched back to the Glock that the grip angle helped me shoot significantly faster and flatter and I no longer had the same issue with sight alignment. I can't explain why the sight alignment issue just went away -- just now I did the eyes closed drill with a glock 17 and a sig p229 and I had no issues with either pistol in aligning sights by muscle memory. Maybe my wrists and hands are so trained it doesn't matter? I'm a very reluctant Glock fan because they're my least favorite pistol out of the ones that I own but it's what I shoot by far the best.

They feel wider, and if I don't grab it just right, the muzzle will point the opposite direction.

But now, I have a stable of Glocks and not a single 1911 or 2011. I bought a friend's G27 just to help him out, and then a 19, then a 30sf, then a 43, you get the picture. A $30 trigger connector replacement makes a world of difference and that is all I have had to do to, plus 500 rounds or better in each. Now my point of aim is Glock ready and steady. As far as red dots, I feel the same way as when lasers were the must have new thing. Don't need it.

You just aren’t use to the Glock so you don’t know how to operate it. Just zero the red dot and forget about the steel sights. I hate to say it but you are definitely hating the Glock.

You natural point of aim may have changed, as you kept adding additional weight to the 19 with the red dot and the Streamlight . You've also lost a great deal of your concealability, by adding the red dot/Streamlight . But initially, you said you bought the Glock for a " house gun" I carried a handgun for 32 years, as a part of my employment . I went from a full size 45 ACP steel frame to a Glock 23 , as my employment required concealed carry . What a pleasant difference in weight , and I went from a 5 inch barrel to a 4 inch barrel . Sitting in a car was more comfortable . If your brain is working properly, you will never forget you have a weapon on you, concealed or outside the waistband . I have multiple different handguns and around 15,000 rounds through my Glock 22 and my Glock 23 . Easy operation, easy to clean and easy to take apart . The ultimate " house gun", is a short barreled shotgun with #5 or #6 shot shells . I worked in a gun shop for 3 years after retirement and I sold hundreds of handguns . Everyone is looking for something different, as we are all individuals . Some want a thumb operated safety, others do not want one . Some want 17 rounds, other's, 10 . Some want steel framed, others polymer . Some want stainless, others blued/black . I had many a guy bring his wife in and want her to get a full sized weapon for her concealed carry . Many of those women did not have the strength to rack the slide on an out of battery gun, but yet hubby's trying to buy her a full size Berreta, where she'd have no issue with a 5 shot revolver , which fit her hand . And of course many of the men and women have no idea at all on what a critical malfunction is or how to clear one . Everyone is different .

    I'm not really comparing a full-size to a compact. My baby eagle is almost the same size as the Glock 19, with a slightly longer grip. It does have a tang that sticks out on the back end. After filming this video, I found other videos that explain the ergonomics of the glock grip. I didn't add the attachments to the glock, I bought the glock for the attachments. Since filming, I put the SRO on my Canik TP9 SFX and the TLR-7 on a different pistol. The glock 19 points the same with or without the attachments and loaded magazine. I'll have to go back and watch my video again because I don't recall saying it's a house gun, although I may have mentioned home defense. I will be reviewing a Sig P365xl with holster. I would like to get my hands on a M&P compact or shield as well. I'm going to hold onto the glock for a little longer.

    You, along with a bunch of other people in this vommit section are fixated on the wrong thing. "Natural point of aim" is not something to strive for. A remedial understanding about shooting and body mechanics would teach you that. Human natural point of aim is f*cking terrible!! However, having to rock our wrists forward and lock them in place is advantageous to shooting, aiming, and recoil mitigation. Which means follow up shots can also be faster and more accurate.

    I shoot everything from HK Mk23, Sig P22X series, 1911s and a few ghetto HiPoints to the poors favorite, Glock. All using the same grip, getting pretty comparable results in terms of accuracy. It mostly boils down to just suck it up and shoot. Grip angle is important, but you focusing so hard on it only keeps you from achieving any lasting results, just shoot.

    Yea. Just making the point that it’s a training issue. If you only shoot a 1911 grip angle and then shoot a Glock, you will need time to get used to that angle. I was shooting cz 75 sp01 with decocker, very different 1st trigger pull that takes a lot of training to get used to. So if you start with a Glock and train with single action and then go to DA, you won’t shoot real well. Just train with gun you carry and similar Manuel of arms.

    Glocks have crooked handles, and the police who use Glocks are bad shoots and likely fired too many rounds to end the threat. In the heat of the moment, a policeman has only time to point and shoot, not compensation for unicorn pistol handles. Glocks are reliable. Glocks are the coolest-looking pistols. Glocks have awesome options for compatibility, high-capacity magazines, conversion kits, features, accessories, etc.

    @jaydavis6594 it's more of a height over bore problem you're having. Stock sights are low to the bore. The taller your sights get, the more the front of the gun has to dip to keep the same zero. I do understand the grip angle, and with more time, you will find that tumbs forward grip locked will help you deal with recoil management better. I am not a glock person because I prefer paddle mag releases. So It's all hk and walther around here. But I have some glocks and can run them.

    I have no idea why you are looking at your front sight when you are using a dot. You should be target focused and not even notice your front sight. Go get some training. If you want to learn how to use a red dot take a class by a legit instructor. I've taken a few Modern Samurai Project classes and I almost have a sub one second draw now. Red dots are great if you have the proper technique. I'm not trying to be mean, but you are really not doing this right. You need to stop trying to figure this out by yourself when there are experts who teach this and have a ton of videos out about it. My wife and 12 year old daughter use red dots on their guns and they love it. It's just a matter of training. I carry a G19 with an SRO everyday and I have no idea who would say that they forgot they were carrying one. Haha. You should stop listening to whoever told you that. Haha And if you just want a different gun, I get that. But don't give up on the dot. If you're a good shooter it will just take a little wile to make the transition. You really should check out MSP, even if you can't get in one of his classes because they sell out so fast, he has a bunch of videos on YT. Jedi is arguable the best red dot instructor out there, but do some research and find a good red dot instructor. The old guys with their 1911s get so made when I out shoot them with my plastic gun and red dot. haha. Good luck!

    The front sight was a reference point I used after I couldn't find the dot in the window, when I naturally presented the G19. Floow the train of thought. I naturally presented the pistol and didn't see the dot, but I did see the front sight. Moved my head/eay around until I found the front dot and noted the position change of the front sight Analyzed the change and eventually figured out that when I naturally present the pistol, the muzzle is canted upward, causing the dot to be out of view until I bring the muzzle down. When I brought muzzle down, the dot was centered, and the front and rear sight were simultaneously aligned. They are suppressor height sights and are visible through the red dot, kinda like a 1/3 cowitness or still usable if the battery dies on the dot. I put the dot on another pistol, which fits my natural point of aim. I naturally presented the pistol, and the dot was in the center. I'm not giving up on the dot. I'm not even giving up on the glock, yet. I wish I was in a position to go out and buy an M&P and do a side by side comparison before making the decision to let it go. Unfortunately, I'm in a position where I can't just buy whatever I want and would have to sell something to afford a different pistol to try out. As far as the folks who forgot they had a pistol on them, I'm not saying they had glocks. I'm inclined to believe them because it's embarrassing, and It doesn't make sense to lie about it. It's their stories that I took as cautionary tales and made me appreciate the weight of my steel frame, which won't let me forget I'm carrying it. On the other hand, though, I do find myself in circumstances where having something smaller and lighter would be beneficial.

Yea, I've basically only shot Glocks so that's what's natural to me, but I hear everyone who grew up on 1911s, revolvers, or whatever else say how much the dislike Glock grip angle. I get it. With that, yea, it would be great to try it on another gun. Maybe you can sell / trade the Glock for something that fits you better and is cut for your optic already? As for a lighter gun, I 100% suggest you try that. I wear my G19 90% of the time I'm awake, and 99% of the time I'm not in my home. Just today my kid was annoyed that I was wearing it during our movie night. I couldn't imagine always wearing a heavy metal gun all the time. I did get my wife a sub compact Glock 43X, and it's not a great deal of fun to shoot, but carrying it is like nothing. I guess instead of saying we forget we are carrying a gun we could say we don't think about it anymore. I think that's a more accurate description for me at least. Definitely check out some Modern Samurai Project videos. He's about the best at teaching people to find the dot. Good luck!

    It's not really overtaking it If there are people who haven't thought about it. Of all the firearms you've ever shot, you naturally shot some better than others. The reason you shot some of the other better is because the ergonomics fit your natural point of aim better. With other handguns, you practice with them until they become normal to you. You essentially abandon what's natural to you to conform to something that isn't natural until it becomes the new normal, but it's still not natural.
