Is it possible to learn to love the glock grip angle?

I have a really non-scientific theory I've held a long time regarding the Glock grip angle.
It felt natural to me from the beginning, and Glocks have always pointed well to me. Other people I shoot with, not so much. If I ask people in person who say they hate the Glock grip angle to demonstrate a punch, their wrist is locked at an angle similar to the 1911. If you ask me to demonstrate a punch, I line up my front two knuckles in line with the bone structure in my arm from many years of Shotokan karate training. My punch looks like the Glock grip angle. I'm obviously in the vast minority, but it is an interesting observation.

I can confirm that the Glock grip angle is close to the wrist angle of an Isshinryu punch, also hitting with the index and middle finger knuckles. This is one reason why I like the Glock grip angle, do okay with a 1911 grip angle, and dislike the Sig grip angle.

Interesting about the Karate. My punches are with a straight wrist, just like doing fist pushups. But I still like the Glock grip angle better than Sig/1911/Beretta.

You are probably doing the same thing we are. The index and middle finger knuckles square with the target are part of how we define a straight wrist, of course with no inward or outward deviation.

One's natural morphology (I think that's the appropriate term here) can make one angle better than an another.

In my case, time and arthritis have favored the Glock grip angle (and a more angled wrist for a straight punch) when previously a 1911 angle worked best.

This is one of those things I’ve diddled with over the last few years. I never much cared for the Glock angle, but when I started running handguns fairly seriously about five years ago, I started paying more attention. From the avenue of pure, slow fire accuracy, all the major pistols, at least in my stable, shoot about the same. From my daily 92, to G17, M&P, VP9, P320, or PX4. However, what I have noticed is that it requires me to slightly adjust how I grip each pistol. I don’t grip a 92 how many instructors teach, that’s just not how the gun fits me. Glock is another story.

And I’ll probably shoot any credibility I could have when I say that I’ve really only ever run th first Glock I ever bought, a Gen 3 22, which has been converted to 9mm for several years. The smaller pistols like the 43x are just another bag of cats.

I think it's possible to be indifferent to it.
