    Any other gun like the 1911 (point and aim)

    I made a recent thread about "cz vs 1911" and if they are similar. is there any other handgun that has the 1911's "natural point of aim"?



    In other words, any other handgun that has the same grip angle?

      Oh thanks. I'll check that out. Looking for a 22 pistol aswell.

        I was kind of joking, but for a .22, the 22/45 was designed to have the same grip angle, etc, as a 1911. I like mine. It is a solid shooter.

        As far as centerfire, I really have no idea. I like 1911's, but also shoot Glocks and Sigs with no apparent issues with the different grip angles.

        I am in the process of getting a CZ P09, maybe that will be close.

        Good luck.

                Not sure about the grip angle, but pretty much every gun(with a few exceptions) will be a natural point of aim gun for someone, not everyone's hand has exactly the same layout.

                    - 22LR: S&W 41

                    Actually, the only major gun manufacturers I can think of with a grip angle outside the 1911's 17-19 degree angle is Glock and Ruger's MK series.

                      Maintaining the same grip angle is only in the head.
                      It is all about grabbing a firearm and putting it on target.
                      When the firearm is raised the sights ideally will be aligned. If not then body position, grip, or modification of the stocks (Stock is the proper name for the part of the firearm that we call a grip - grip is a verb, something you do, and stock is a noun, an actual part) can change that.
