Foo I used to have a z grip.

Path dependance comes from industrial organisation and theories of the firm, it is a reaction to the theory that firms survive by being the most efficient. Path dependance seeks to illustrat that firms can survive for other reasons not relating to efficiency. The qwerty keyboard as illustrated by Shartley in depth is a good example (I hope u had to look that up Shartley as you could use the space in your head for better uses).

My point is that the Z is more efficient however once the Path of .45 grips is taken people become locked into the technology. It does not create cognitive dissonance to go with the flow, use a qwerty, .45 grip, VHS, or PC does it?

Every additional person chosing the .45 makes it easier for more people to use them. People have to change their subconscious habits to use the z ( ie unlearn the .45) So picking it up is strange for most.

I back the Z but think it should be available for every gun not just the mag/rt.

Have you ever noticed that the "better" product is rarely the most popular product?
