Sig vs Glock

[sw282]

My favorite Sig is a 225. Then my daughter "stole" it. Now my favorite Sig is a P230 in 32acp. I have shot Glocks on occasion. They just dont feel right

Don't get me wrong here, I love Sigs. I even like the 239 for what it is. But the damn thing is just too big for the number of shots it has. I sold mine to a friend who wanted one, and don't really miss it.

I don't particularly like Glocks, but I have a G17 in the collection as a representative example.

And I'm partial to full-size guns for carry, in which case I've made the choice for years: 226 over the G17 by a mile. I just shoot the 226 better and trust it more.

Your mileage may vary. They're not the same guns made to the same budget for the same purposes. If I restricted my engagements to 20m, I shoot them about the same. Past that, against non-threatening paper, the Glock is literally all over the map by comparison. I don't want to consider it under stress.

I have a Glock and would like to get a Sig P229 DAK: all the build quality of a Sig with more or less the same trigger feel of the Glock.

I do not like the Sig's decocker lever for a CCW gun. Too easy to have an ND during post incident stress if you forget to decock before reholstering.

Perhaps. I don't like a system where I have to pull the trigger to field strip the gun. Something I do much more often than reholstering after an incident.

I love my sig

I have a sig p6 and it actually is more comfy to hold than my Glock, but would vote Glock because I beleive them to be more reliable, and less controls on it making less prone to Mr Murphy's attentions

Glock 19 wins IMHO. I am not a fan of baby glocks but the 19 is a perfect combination of size and capacity.

If it fits your hand.

I also love the P228

You don't check the chamber before you field strip your guns?!

Sig. I have a 220 elite stainless and a 226 elite stainless. Both have very good triggers (Short Reset Trigger). I don't get the whole Glock plastic with no manual safety thing. I tried them and was not impressed. Funky grip angle. And well it's plastic.

Only one reason to own a Glock: when they break you fix them yourself.
I had to send a 226 to Exeter NH 3 times. It took about 4-5 months to get that expensive gun working again.
I had a G17 go down and I fixed it the same or next day.

Ease of maintenance goes a long ways when you shoot alot vs keeping them in the safe.

The 226 was the most accurate production semi-auto, I have ever owned. Good gun. Just not reliable.

The 228 rusted in the grip screws which spread to the frame.

The 229 had a very long reset.....I heard they got that issue fixed now.

I am not in love with my Glocks. They are a tool I use. But, a reliable tool that I can make work in a hurry if it breaks.

I like Berettas, and CZs too. But, Glocks if you like to shoot alot........or a GP100

It's truly hard to choose between the two. I'd go with the P239 only because the handle has more room for fingers and is flatter than the Glock 26 without an aftermarket floorplate.

The Glock 19 versus the P228/P229 is difficult to choose. The P229 feels fatter, but is still very comfortable.

while i'll give glock its credit sig just feels better too me. My 229 is flawless in either .40 s&w or .357 sig.

Glocks for me. First, I like the availability of the subcompacts. Second, the SIGs always seemed to be a little bigger than they needed to be. Third, the controls are reversed from most of my autos & that could spell trouble in a crisis. Fourth, I like every trigger pull to be the same (call it DAO or Safe Action or whatever)

I will conceed that the sigs are a bit bulkier. I own both a G22 and a sig 229. The sig wins hands down. They aren't really in the same class. I carry the 229 as a daily carry gun and absolutly love it.
