I've had 3 questions tucked away in the back of my head for years now. Didn't bother looking for the answers because I didn't really care that much. After years of shooting my beloved G30, I came to the conclusion that Gaston Glock was a genius, so who am I to question him.
1. I'll admit that I prefer the grip angle of the 1911.. and most of the shooters I know do too. But there must be a reason why the Glock's grip is the way it is. Anyone know?
2. I think I know the answer to this one, but why is there an indentation on the broad side of the grip? Is it a thumb rest for one-hand shooting?
3. Why is there a finger grip on the forward section of the trigger guard? I shoot both thumbs forward, support index finger under the guard. Are there shooters that index on the forward guard to control muzzle flip? (if that's what it's for).
any insights would be greatly appreciated.
