I came to computers and guns later in life, therefore I came with an open mind and little prejudice. One of the first things I learned in both was they are filled with people who learn a little and know a lot, or rather they think they know a lot.
Ergonomics is a science and any time you are using your body to interact with a device, ergonomics comes into play. It is not a marketing gimmick, albeit the purveyors of marketing gimmicks certainly know how to exploit it as they do anything.
He is correct that if you have proper technique and form you can pick up any gun that allows a proper grip, i.e. fit as he defines it, and shoot it well.
However, performance is only one part of ergonomics and not the most important part. Ergonomics is about how your body reacts over time, i.e. fatigue, injury, recovery, etc. This is science, and this is real, and as you age it becomes even more important.
It sounds more like the author fell prey to the purveyors of marketing gimmicks at Glock and since discovered the superiority of the 1911 and is now searching for a justification to remain.
Silly boy should know it is o.k. to own many guns, so just get the 1911 and shoot them all. You will love them all differently and the same, just like your children.
