For some the 1911 points like their index pletely natural. It's a matter of personal preferences and ergonomics. Then again many swear by the ancient 1911 Colt. There are newer designs that you may appreciate more.like the Springfield XD or SW M&P that have adjustable ergonomics. Nothing against Glocks, but they are an older design.

You're like a person that just got their driver's license and is shopping for a car.
