Apparently the 22 degree grip of the OEM glock is disliked by some and there are 18 degree grip angled non-OEM Glock frames out there. I happen to like a higher degree of grip angle to the gun and do not see a reason for the 18 degree angle that more closely approximates the 1911. I have usually added an arched mainspring housing to my 1911's. The 1911 always had a reputation of naturally pointing low do this for me. Many full size target pistols have pronounced angles for the grip.
Any of the people here have thoughts on this.
The US army the updated the 1911 prior to WWII with the arched mainspring housing while not changing the front grip angle does induce an angle at the rear of the grip helping to push the pointed gun upward when gripped in the human hand.
