    Look after the video at the clip "what gun to buy? XD, M&P, or Glock pretty good clip. It's like 12min 66sec but the guy covers them all with out prejudice for the most part. And the cartoon SCTexas posted a while back. It's an old clip but a good un.

    It was pretty good, and I was nodding along until he got into the grip angle thing. A more vertical grip angle is not more or less suited for a Weaver or Isosceles stance. And the Glock is equally better and worse suited to neither. I'm a big Isosceles fan and much prefer an angle like the 1911, Sig or XD have over the Glock. It's personal preference.

    IMO, though, the Glock grip angle sucks. If I draw one from a holster, when I push it forward and pick up the sights I'm looking at the top of a slide. I can shoot them just fine, it's just that I have to force the muzzle down to be able to do it, and I don't like the extra tension in my forearms. I'm not willing to bet my life on one because the grip angle would make point-shooting a losing proposition for me, therefore a Glock has about zero value to me.
