Does a P80 point the same as a Glock or is the frame angle different?

It points wonderfully.

I have many Glocks and the P80 is my favorite “Glock” because of the grip angle.

ETA: Glock grip angle is 22 degrees. P80 and 1911 are both 18 degrees.

Thanks, gents.  That's what I was afraid of.  Are there other 80% products that point correctly like a Glock?

I hate them. First time I picked up a P80 fame, it was an immediate "NOPE!"

Not only do they point weird, they're contoured like a 2x4.

The bad thing about the P80 grip angle and overall feel is that it feels so good and points so well that it makes me want to pee.

The p80 grip angle made my brain divide by zero for a bit and my presentation was all sorts of messed up till I re-calibrated.

Do you use P80 exclusively now?

Nope. I can switch back and forth now without issue. My brain took longer to catch up because in my mind it was still "a Glock."

But I also can switch between very different guns without much issue.  I'll shoot a string with a Glock, switch to a 1911, and to a revolver without much/any issue....except revolver reloads I still need more work at.

No problem.

One thing I did think of is my finger placement shifted as well. Took a bit to break the mental hurdle of "Glock but not" I think. That's my best guess at least.

Lol. A 2x4 feels less like a 2x4 than a Glock grip.

I’m planning on doing my first 80% primarily because I’m hoping it won’t feel like a glock.
My current 19’s and 23 have grip mods to make them less glockish. Only Glock I own that is stock is my 43 and it needs work.
