[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1184768, member: 7123"] Hmm, well that's weird - I've never held a revolver with the extreme grip angle of a glock. And I like and own Taurus, S&W, DW, and like Colt & Ruger. Hitting work now, but I will later detail why Glocks are terrible (for the price) in many ways. I'd rather have a Bersa than a Glock. Which revolver(s) have the grip angle of a Glock? Not only does the M&P and XD blow them out of the water, to kingdom come, so does Walther, and several others, arguably even Taurus, in the fantastic plastic game. Don't get me wrong, they work well and have their strong points (finish, caliber choice), but they are terrible IMO [I]for the price they charge[/I]. They should be less than a Taurus, the way they're built. They'd be a decent pistol at around $275 brand new. I guess grip angle is personal preference and a matter of anatomy person to person, but I'd venture a bet that 80%-85% of the population (easily) prefer the "standard" grip angle of the 1911, XD, M&P, and 98.44% of the handguns out there in the world, past and present, to the "weird" angle of the Glock, Ruger Mk2/3, etc. Granted, there are some that prefer the latter, but they are a small minority, if they're being honest. If I want to kill the moon, the Glock is the perfect handgun for that! :p Their failure to innovate is dismally evident - I will detail more later (probably in a different thread, so as not to derail this one). Thought what I typed might evoke a response. :D I will say that I prefer the trigger guard on the Glock that that one on the Taurus, for sure - I like to perch my offhand index finger there -for that reason, I won't be getting the Taurus 709 in all likelihood. The knock on Taurus that they put out lemons a lot more often *IS* a valid one, so I don't really want to use Taurus as the baseline against Glocks. But when looking at M&P, XD, Walther, etc., with equal quality control and part longevity, there is a clear loser. YMMV (and does)! :D [/QUOTE]
