It's funny, as I always preferred - for example - the grip angle of a 1911 or SIG over that of a Glock.

However, I read a few accounts of the grip angle Marc uses on his Rugers helping out a lot with perceived recoil and with follow-up shootability. So, I figured I would try it.

If you had told me my new Rugers would make me start to dislike my S&W K frame grip angle limitations, I would have thought you were nuts, but that is what has happened.

The closest I can get with my S&W revolvers is the angle created by the Tyler T on my Model 18.

So, for those who think they don't like the grips, you really might want to try them before you decide that.
