Hell, I had a Taurus G1 (PT 111 Millennium Pro [who came up with that name]) and it was a great gun for what it was. I got it sent in for the recall and a G2 in its place was was like, meh.Heck, I carry a Kahr sometimes. And to many people don't even give them a chance. They"re great pistols!.

Taurus gets a bad rap too sometimes. My PT 99af is 100% reliable & a dream to shoot. And they still make descent revolvers too.

To each his own, That style is actually neat. Basically pointing the gun like your finger. But I hear ya.

Where I notice grip angle most is when I take several pistols to the range and I shoot five rounds each, other than that not a biggie. however, the first time I held and shot a 1911 i was all "I love this gun!" I think grip angle and the relatively narrow width of the grip make a 1911 the gun for me.

I got rid of my Ruger Mk 2 when I tried a friends Buckmark.

Don't actually own a 1911. Probably never will. Great pistols for sure, just not for me.

I love 1911s. I just don't carry them much anymore. I'm really not all that picky about pistols. I've never been a trigger snob or worried too much about sights. The only gun I've ever shot that I just flat didn't care for was every single Glock I ever held in my hands. I just don't like the way they fit in my hands.

I tend to decide how much I like a gun based on the entire package, especially when considering the gun's intended use. I focus less on grip angle than I do on the trigger, sights, and felt recoil. Things like overall size and concealability are also factors that I put above grip angle when selecting a carry gun. I know that triggers and sights can be switched, but I generally prefer to leave my guns as close to stock as possible. I am not likely to purchase a gun if I have to make a bunch of changes to it to make it shootable. I'm not saying grip angle isn't important, but it's something I am willing to overlook if I like other features.
I'm sure you meant the Yankees, assuredly not the only Heaven inspired handgun ;-)
I've been to many Angels vs. Yankees games at Angels Stadium. They West Coast home games for the Yankees.
Now I now how Don Corelone made an offer that couldn't be refused ;-)

Technically Luca Brasi held the gun to the bandleader’s head while Vito assured him either his brains or his signature would be on the contract.

Basically very similar to that of a 1911, but I don't know the exact angle in degrees.
