[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1096920, member: 7815"] Different guns feel better in the hand and are more natural to work with. Ergonomics matter in most kinds of human tool use; pretty natural to think they'd be important for shooting too. Sure, any set of sights can be lined up in slow, deliberate fire. But where's the sight picture end up when one does a rapid, instinctive draw? And does it feel like the sights are perched way above your hands, or does it feel like they're part of one unit with your hands? Too, keeping the bore axis on a pistol low allows quicker followup shots. SIGs are good guns but they flip back more on recoil than Glocks/M&Ps/CZs/1911s and are slower to recover, in my experience. I noticed it, so I changed guns to a type that works better and is more natural to me. Likewise, when I owned a Glock it always felt like I had to droop the barrel to "adjust" the front sight elevation after I drew and presented it -- the grip angle was off. In contrast, when I draw and present my CZs or M&Ps the sights line up naturally. [/QUOTE]
