This video discusses the grip angle of the Timberwolf frame, comparing it to common Glock grip angles. The speaker explains that while Glock angles offer more mechanical efficiency for recoil control, the Timberwolf's straighter angle is more efficient for natural pointing. Understanding leverage and friction can mitigate recoil control concerns, and the straighter angle aids wrist mechanics for easier pointing, especially one-handed. A pre-attached magazine well is also highlighted as a feature.
