Yet again I look to the highroad for guidance. I am in the hiring process for a police department and I have my choice of several different pistols for duty. The only requirement is that it has a .40sw. I have narrowed down my selection to two different pistols, I am not interest in other alternatives so please do not suggest any other weapons. (No XDM, Glock, SW M&P etc). I am taking this decision very seriously as my life and the life of others depends on this weapon. I have shot both weapons, only in different calibers , the problem is that I am really deadlocked between the two.
Sig 226 DAK .40sw
Pros –
1.Reliability, proven duty weapon with a great track record, Seals, LEO, Feds etc.
2. The 226 are built around the .40, non-polymer frame.
3. Accuracy
Cons-
1. Grip is a little small for my hand
2. Do not like the DA/SA trigger, so its DAK only (already have a 226 9mm)
XD40 Service 4”
Pros-
1. Fits great in my hand, good overall balance,
2. I like the “blockiness “of the slide
3. Good grip angle and I like the relation of bore to the tang.
Cons-
1. Not known to be unreliable, but not a truly proven combat weapon
2. Mixed feelings on polymer frame
3. Trigger not as smooth as the Sig
Please vote and add some input!!
