I thought I was a GLOCK only kind of guy until my 239 came along. Now I'm a GLOCK and Sig guy.

What, no GLOCK? Fine, I'll go with Sig.

The polymer guide rods are rated at 6k rounds, but that is on the low side. You could probably get 8-10k with the average one. The good news is that they're pretty cheap to replace (just like most of GLOCK parts). Be sure that it is seated correctly or it will get damaged. Don't worry that...

That is correct. The lever is not a slide release but a slide stop. It is possible to use it as a slide release, but the proper method for a Glock is the overhand or slingshot method. If you absolutely need a slide release lever, they make extended ones that can act as such. Oh, and enjoy...

No external safety? That's a plus for me, less things to fiddle with. Polymer? It's a nice alternative to alloy frames, no better, no worse, just different applications. Grip Angle? Learn to use it and you'll find non-glock guns have weird angles. About the "lock-up" mechanism...it's a no...

I recommend holding off on the gun until you've had your safety class. If they class is anything like mine, the instructor will explain the pros and cons of many different types of firearms systems. This will help you make a better decision as to what you want in a gun. There is no reason...

You should go back to the shop and apologize for stealing the gun. That price really is amazing. Enjoy.

I don't carry a handgun based on what one I could afford to lose. If I ever have to use my gun, that thought will be the last thing on my mind.

GLOCK 20 if concealability isn't a factor. I'd have the same faith in all my guns though, if I didnt, I wouldn't own them.

$550-600 for a new GLOCK around here. Your price is excellent. Glock's sub compacts are my favorite GLOCKs because you get a little gun with the magazine capacity of the full size.

I could say the opposite is true also. I used to only shoot GLOCKs. Then I finally had enough money for a Sig and now I shoot Sigs and GLOCKs. Neither is strictly better than the other. The more I shoot the Sig, the more I feel it handles and points better, but that is a personal preference...

My 239 gets carried in leather, when it gets carried at all. Oh, and I'm going to have a chance to deal with Sig's customer service soon. The tab on my top handguard for my 556 broke off today while field stripping it. I emailed them tonight and I'll give them a call tomorrow. I'll let you...

Send it off to Sig and they should make it right. Their customer service is pretty good. And learn a lesson from this: Every gun sales man has owned every gun at any time, and it was his favorite gun. Amen.

Trigger pull - The DAK system is a heavier pull and a longer pull than a GLOCK. For good reason though, it lacks the GLOCK trigger safety. The DAK trigger is much more smooth though. Both guns can have trigger work done to them to change the trigger to however you want. Changing a GLOCK trigger...

Take all the "9mm is wimpy" talk with a grain of salt, because I'm sure none of the posters would like to stare down the barrel of a loaded 9mm. I have a 9 mm, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, and a 10 mm and have the same amount of faith in all of them. Why? If I have to defend my life, I'm not just shooting...

Hogue has a grip for Sigs with finger grooves. Sig offers a DAK trigger that is DAO, giving the same trigger pull each time. Even with a regular trigger, a Sig does NOT have a manual safety. Both pistols are generally more accurate than their user, so accuracy generally goes to whichever one...

Personally, if I were looking at two guns 'til the end of time, I wouldn't want the 1911 as either choice. My advice is to sell the 1911 and get a Sig and a GLOCK or Sig and an H&K. I have both Sigs and GLOCKs (no 1911's...if you didn't already guess, I don't like them). If you insist with...

If you want a Sig and can't afford one new in the U.S., this is a great alternative. From my understanding they have a light spring and a hammer that is designed to deform if the pistol is dropped on it (to prevent discharge maybe?). Other than those things (which I believe can be fixed with a...

A black powder revolver didn't really cross my mine. I guess because I'm not really familiar with them. I guess it would resolve any quickness and legal issues. It doesn't change the point that I would still rather have a centerfire firearm. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

I mentioned nothing about "time". Racking a shotgun is very quick; that is undeniable. The idea of the safe is for purposes of child protection and has nothing to do with quick retrieval. The idea is to move as quickly and quietly to a safe room in the house, but a home invasion is a rare...
