[QUOTE=sheepherder;311981]Hmmmm,...Lessee...Yep, I get 74º on a Colt Gov't Model frame...(Measured on the front gripstrap)...

Thanks to John for pointing that out!

FWIK the 1911 grip angle should be 118 degrees.

It depends on which side of the angle you measure. The 118 +/- degrees is the compliment of 74 +/- degrees. Added together they make 180 degrees, i.e. the straight horizontal line that the grip angle is measured from...118 degrees on the trigger guard side, 74 degrees on the grip side.

You got your quote screwed up. I'm sheepherder; he's luger.parabellum.

Here's some food for thought...Pic of blueprint attached...

90º minus 17º 30' = 72º 30'...(72 1/2 degrees)...
