If you hold your hand in a fist straight out with your thumb forward and level....that's the Glock grip angle.
Umm, not for me. Glocks for me tend to point high. HKs tend to point low. And there are lots in between. I can make the angle work though after practice. Like you said a lot of it depends on past experience. (BTW I actually had a Glock before a 1911).

I would agree with you that defining a "normal" angle is arbitrary. Obviously a lot of folks really like Glocks so the angle must work for them. For those that it doesn't there are a lot of options out there too.
