Suggest you try on the grip. Not everyones hand is the same or perception.

If the sig works why the Glock?
Take the time to get it right by holding it.

Personally the 19/23/32 does not fit my hand, especially with the grooves on that platform.
The Gen 5’s nor G45 do not appeal because the lack of finger grooves, the finish and marksman barrels. The 17/31/22 platforms in Gen 3 do fit with good results.

I'm not getting rid of the Sig. Just thought a different Glock might make a difference as far as the grip goes.

 

The 45 and 17 are the same grip dimensions

 

While I believe the angle is the same, the lack of grooves makes the grip feel different in my hands. I have yet to shoot a Gen5, but plan to soon. If available, you should rent one and try it.

 

This may sound counterintuitive but some folks find the grip of the G26 fits their hand better than the larger Glocks because the “hump” on the back strap is higher and fits the palm better.

 

I don't think the angle on the G45 is different that the G19. However I really like the feel of the G45. It's replaced the 19 as my EDC. Check one out at your local range.

 

Try a Glock 48 if you want the 19 size with a better grip.

Although, you say Gen 3 fits you well so a Glock 48 may be too narrow for you.

 

The G17, G45, G19X grip angles are the same as well as the compact and subcompacts. The difference is where the hump is in relation to your shooting grip.

I can shoot the compacts, 19, 23 etc, just fine, but prefer the 17 length grip. The hump on the back strap is further down, and thus doesn't both my grip. The hump on the compacts, is ok for me, but I find I have to shoot around it. The subcompacts, G26, 27, etc are all wrong for my grip and while I can shoot them, it is a struggle.

The hump is also less pronounced on the 4th and 5th gen guns as well compared to previous generations.

If the 320 works for you, stick with it. There is nothing wrong with them and they are great pistols. I still have a few and it is my backup platform, should something go sideways with my Glocks. I still prefer and shoot much better with Glocks than almost anything else. It took some time, and they are by all means not perfect.

For my intended applications I haven't found anything that works better. Everyone is different and what works for you may not work for someone else, and vise versa.

Whatever you decide on, stick with it, train and become proficient with it. There is no holy grail gun that works perfectly for everyone. Once you master your chosen platform, it will be hard to change.

I have both, and both are great pistols. The grips are different, but you will get used to either. Pick one and just practice. But I do find that going back and forth is hard because the both will have a different natural point of aim from each other.

 

In my opinion the Glock rear hump is less in the full size frames, I can shoot a G19 very well but i really dislike how it feels in my hand as I have large hands. I can shoot my G17 gen5 the best out of Glocks with a G34 gen close behind.

 

The 45 has the same grip angle as all the other full frame glocks. That said, earlier gen 19’s have never felt quite right for me; I bought a 19X (no finger grooves) and it made a big difference. Taking that one step further, I also bought a 48, and that’s the sweet spot I’ve been missing. The grip is significantly smaller diameter and it feels MUCH better in the hand. I can get a solid, repeatable grip on it every time with no need for ajustment. I shoot it better than all of my other glocks. The finger indentations are great if they fit your hand; unfortunately, they dont fit the majority of shooters, leading to grip problems and reduced performance. Try a gen 5, I think you’ll like them

 

It's true that people generally have a natural preference in terms of how guns point due to grip angle. But it's also easy enough to change your mechanics.

Obviously all pistols are not equal, and there may be guns you interact with very well in many respects other than grip angle.

Especially if the gun naturally points high for you... many shooters tend to not lock their wrists down very well. If you really dial in on your grip, you may find it's pretty intuitive to push the post down a bit.

In my experience, the specific angle of my wrists is independent of how I present the gun to target. Main thing is the ability to present a sight picture to POA on mechanical index. Keeping the post down flush with the notch is more a function of grip. And everything about gripping more aggressively to control flip tends to push the post down.

 

I like the Gen. 3 and Gen. 4 Frames with two pins.

ALL Subcompact frames are three-pin, not including Gen5.

ALL Gen3 frames except 9x19mm are three-pin.

Gen3 G17, G17L, and G34 frames are three pin since 2002.

Gen3 G19 frames are three-pin since 2003.

ALL Gen4 frames are three-pin.

So...there are NOT many Glocks that meet your preference. However, the number of pins in the frame has nothing to do with grip angle and contours.

You are correct sir and with this I do want the three pin frames that I have with my current Gen. 3 23 and Gen. 4 22. Thanks for setting me straight.

Further, while the number of pins does not affect the grip angle, the finger grooves and the 3-pin configuration go hand in hand with my requirements for a Glock platform. The grooves allow me to maintain my high purchase on the weapon. The three pin req for more strength with the .40 caliber round.

 

MyG45 is my favorite by far. Rent one!
