Although the Glock grip is raked somewhat more steeply than most Americans are used to, after looking at pics of guns like the 1911, CZ75 and Hi-Power and comparing them to Glocks, it's not so much the angle of the front and rear grip straps that's different, but the location of the top of the frame. On most of the older generation of guns, the top of the frame (beavertail) is about at the mid-point of the trigger, while on a Glock the top of the frame is at the pivot-point of the trigger; much higher. Getting a "high grip" requires cocking the wrist, which I find not so much good or bad, but just a lot different from what I'm used to.
