"feels good in the hand"

Going back to the OP, I thought of a gun that definitely didn't feel good in my hand that was surprisingly accurate: the Ruger LC9S. My buddy let me try it out for a weekend, and I was extremely surprised at its accuracy in spite of how odd it felt in my hand. With the very first magazine I was able to put all ten rounds in a 3.5 inch group at 20 yards offhand, with 7 holes actually touching. Subsequent mags were about the same. And I never got comfortable with the grip size/shape.
 
Accuracy and feel do not always go hand-in-hand.

I have 2 very different semi-auto pistols. One feels great but is hard to shoot because of the sights. The second doesn't feel as good but shoots much better because of the sights.
If I could take the sights off the one and put them on the other I would have the perfect gun.
 
Well I have a Hi Power and it feels great in my hands and I shoot it decently. My glock 23 doesnt feel anywhere near as comfortable, but I shoot it even better than the Hi Power. Go figure.
