Sig for Glock??

[Rusty Luck]

My friend wants to trade his Glock 17c gen 3 for my Sig 2022 9mm. What's the value of the glock? It has extended mag and slide releases and also 3 different trigger springs. The glock has 1000rds thru it and the sig 525. Thoughts? Opinions? Anything advice or knowledge is welcome. Thanks in advance!!

It's a good trade. I don't think anyone wins or loses.

Monetary value is about the same. If both of you like each other's gun better, it would be a great trade.

If the only question is monetary value, then it sounds like a square deal.

Other things to consider are what's the motivation for the trade? Do you both like the other person's better? Do you both shoot better with the other gun?

If you prefer your Sig to shooting with the Glock, don't proceed with the trade just to appease your friend's desire to trade.

What he said.

Both are excellent guns IMO.Win-Win in my book.

Whats wrong with the Sig? Inaccurate?
The trigger is worse then the Glocks?
Parts are more expensive?

Using Bud's pricing, the glock is worth more then your gun, by 100 dollars or so?

Also appears to be a full sized vs. a concealable difference.

Also appears you get to tune the Glock the way you want, and parts are cheap.

The 17 has been around, and their are lots of parts, cheap.

The Sig is new, relatively, and Sigs have never been known for inexpensive parts.

Depends on what you want.

The two guns have different functions, and purposes. I'm having a hard time getting behind buying a CCW sig, and trading it for a full sized glock.
On the otherhand, looks like you get the better end of the stick on the 17, and you can buy another ccw gun later, like a 26.

I've never really fallen in love with a Sig, though from specs, and others experience they are great guns. Just not really for me.

If you are thinking of trading, the Sig may not be the gun for you. Most guys that like Sigs, LOVE sigs.

The Sig might be a little more compact, but the Sigs are bulkier guns and it's probably closer in overall/felt size to the 17 than it is to the 19.

Cash value is pretty equal, and 1000 vs 500 rounds in a well made service-type handgun like those two is minor. They're both still new.

Be sure to shoot his Glock first to make sure you like it. You would be going from a hammer fired DA/SA pistol to a striker fired pistol.

If it is a German triple serial number SP2022 with Ilaflon slide finish and night sights you might want to think twice about the trade.

actual retail value of G-17c

Question for you smart guys, or the ones who own current blue books. Looking for private party G-17 in at least 90% condition. 1 19r mag, 2 20r mags.

I have googled, and looked at internet sales sites. Unable to get a price.

Thank you.

A suggestion: Mke a deal with your friend to trade for a couple of weeks. If one of you changes their mind about the trade, then you trade back.

best advice^^^

theyre both great guns and id feel confident with either one as a HD gun

I HI-jacked this thread cause it was about the value of a glock 17c. I am not the OP. I am only interested in its retail value. Sorry for any confusion.

I, personally, would NOT trade the Sig for a Glock unless the value of the Glock was considerably more. Then, I would trade, sell the Glock, and buy something better. I'm just not a Glock person. To me, a Highpoint is very close to beating a Glock. Especially a Highpoint Carbine of any caliber.

 

[mgmorden]

Its kind of a trade sideways truthfully. Both are good guns - both will sport similar reliability. I do like the striker fired Glock trigger more than the DA/SA SIG trigger, but its only a minor preference. On the other hand the compensated barrel would be a huge turn-off for me. Personally, right off the bat I'd figure in a $100 cost added to the Glock to replace the barrel with a Lone Wolf non-comp version. Of course that would also alleviate one of my other primary dislikes about the Glock, which is that by replacing the barrel you can change over to conventional rifling and use cast lead bullets.

Overall though, if you want to do it then do it. Its not really so lopsided of a trade that you're going to be crying yourself to sleep at night or anything .

I beleive both are good firearms. the glock in my opinion is more solid. i don't like the double single

Which one do you shoot better?
