I'm not sure why you picked the 1911, because that wasnt even what I had in mind.
First, grip angle isnt the only aspect of ergonomics. There is grip thickness, diameter, grip shape, safety location, mag feed entry, balance, recoil impulse, etc. Cherry picking some dimensions and saying and comparing it in that way is just like saying "look its just like a 1911 in its ergos" which couldnt be more false.
Since its polymer it would be a much better comparison to an xd, m&p, Glock, etc. All of which have better ergonomics, even the glock.
Look, why not just take it for what it is, a good, cheap handgun. Its nothing more or less.
Yes I understand that, my point was that you shouldn't try to compare the quality to a gun twice the price. I don't think anyone will try to tell you that a Hi Point is as high quality as an XDM but for what it is the quality is sufficient.
Look at the post directly below yours. People do it all the time.
