IMO Glocks are for carry (and range to keep up on skills), 1911 in .45 is for range and home defense.
If you don't like the way a Glock angles and points, then don't get a Glock. It's just a thing. Personally, I like Glocks. I have a hard time shooting some other plastic guns that just point "weird" (to me). My husband likes them and also isn't a big Glock fan, but can shoot my Glocks. Just get what you like.
But for the range...my goodness, just try a 1911 in .45. Out of the whole handgun stable there is nothing I like shooting more than the 1911 in .45.
