I carried/ shot 1911's all of my life. Yes I like the 1911 grip, but the Glock grip is just as good in my hand. The grip fits in all of the recesses and high spots while holding the gun in my hand. If I grip a Glock in the spot between my thumb and trigger finger as according to the owners manual and just about everyone else, the indent is perfect for my thumb.
I shoot my Glocks one handed more than I do two handed and it feels better in one as if it is designed for that.
When I shoot two handed I actually have to make an effort not to put my finger on the front of the trigger guard. I feel like it is too easy to "pull" the gun to the left (weak side).
I have transitioned from the 1911's to the Glocks without a problem, even the glock triggers from really nice crisp 3lbs triggers on my Colts.
You have to remember that the Glocks were designed as combat weapons (side arms) and not target shooters or whatever else people want to make them out to be.
They are perfect combat handguns.
 
To me a Glock being a, 'natural pointing shooter' is, well .... ridiculous. You can teach yourself how to do it, for sure; but there's nothing natural about it.
Glocks, at least the three that I shoot, point shoot just a bit high for me.
If it were close range, say 10' or so, scratch one bad guy. But surely not as point shootable as a 1911.
Still I find the Glocks very comfortable in my hand.
