Glock-Stick with it?

The handgun won't depreciate appreciably (!!!) if you continue to shoot it even past 1000 rounds, at which point, you'll either have entrenched your dislike of it and can sell it off with a clear conscience, or you will have mastered the boogeyman grip angle.

Glocks are far and away the most prolific handgun in the US market, and likely the world. Knowing how to operate, maintain, and carry the most common handgun is a worthwhile skill to have. You can get magazines, holsters, accessories, replacement parts, etc. just about anywhere you go, and inexpensively to boot.

There are a lot of good reasons to hang onto the Glock a little longer, and practice.

Otherwise, sell it, and buy something you like right now.

Your bidness.
 
I think you answered your own question and would like a update. If it doesn't feel right to you then it is not the pistol for you.
 
Ammo is simply the cost of shooting and learning anything. If youre not willing to expend it in learning, then you likely wont be good with any of them.

Can't argue with that, but ammo and range time are also opportunity costs. Unless you've got a suplus of free time and $, there is value in putting those two resources toward something you enjoy. 1000 rounds and a few trips to the range could be time spent enjoying and becoming more proficient with a gun you do like.

It does seem like you may not have enough rounds through it to really have given it a good go. Maybe a hundred or so more?

However, to those that scoff at angle-preference and "feel" I would compare it to the experiences of musicians with instruments. An instrument can be a highly crafted functionally superior work of art, but if just doesn't "feel right" you're not going to get your best music out of it. You will probably be able to train yourself to use it, but how much effort do you want to put into something that doesn't feel natural? Especially if there are other options that already make the music flow easily.

And what about the $ angle here? Should you really have to spend the price of a gun in ammo to get used to something that you might -or might not- end up liking?

Except in my experience, the people who complain most loudly about grip angle (music flow) are not the ones who are playing to sold out shows. Just saying...

I look at firearms conversations as being more akin to talking about golf clubs. Amateurs debate over fine details of which system feels better in the hand, is more natural, etc. The pros just use what they're given and get on with practicing driving golf balls or putting bullets where they need to go.

To the OP, after 150-rounds I don't think you can be sure if a pistol is truly going to work for you or not. Give it some more time, maybe put down your other pistols for a time. If after a couple weeks of dedicated practice, you still aren't gelling with the Glock, then get rid of it.
 
I tried to get used to them for years. I shoot them really accurately but they are not comfortable in my hand. Great pistols but not for me...
