[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2016361, member: 711"] Look back at the grip angles of the first handguns. They were typically almost straight. There is a bent hammer handle you can find now and then that enables the carpenter to keep a straighter wrist and thereby reduce stress on the joint. The seventeen degree Glock grip angle feels strange to those of us used to the almost universal eleven degree 1911 grip angle. Seventeen degrees is ergonomically more sensible. My one Glock (type 1 17) always promises to put rounds over the target, yet I shoot it better than any 9mm I have ever owned, and at the moment it's my only 9mm handgun (not counting my 9x18 Makarovs). Many others have come and gone. Back to the original direction of this thread, the Jennings/Lorcin/etc crowd of Saturday night specials has to be at the top of the list. Hi-point is just a convenient whipping boy for the uninformed. It's like the Model A Ford which put the autombile in the hands of many more people who could previously not afford one. Never mind that they were all one color, not pretty, and not a hotrod. Someone mentioned that Hi-Point uses inferior materials. First I have heard of that. Just looked at BH's post count. Gimme a "T!" Gimme an "R!" Gimme an "O!" <broke the code yet?> Let's don't feed it more. [/QUOTE]
