Glock vs Sig

Another Glock is God (not little g either) new Sigs (and all others) are junk thread.

Next up Colts the only AR...
 
"What are your thoughts on the actual steel alloys used in newer sigs?"

Hi Dan, I retired 12 years ago, so I'm not updated on that information. Also I just started to buy Sigs.

Did you not read the thread? It seems mostly pro SIG at this point...

I might need to take a look at that 320 some day, its got the same ergos as the P250 right? Same frame?

I liked the size and ergos of the P250 compact. Just couldn't fully warm up to the trigger.
 
20 years ago a group of us went shooting. I was shooting my 1911 then one guy let me shoot his P220, I was amazed at how accurate it was & mild recoil, more so than my 1911.

I now own 5 Sigs. I have shot Glocks & really like to buy them but I just could not warm up to Glock. They worked, decent accuracy, equivalent to a Big Mac when I am hungry, it will serve its purpose but a Sig is like a juicy ribeye to me, it not only satisfies my hunger but really enjoying in the process :)
 
Polymer

Striker-fired

Sig


Are 3 words that should never be in the same sentence together unless it's "My Sig is way nicer than that striker-fired polymer Glock."
 
Thanks for all the input guys. I understand everyone has a degree of bias in regards to their prefered gun, but I appreciate the resoned answers like preference for the double/single action system or the Sig trigger.
I own several handguns, 1911, BHP, S&W M&P, a few revolvers, and others. But I carry everyday (except at work), and as a rule I always carry a single action only platform, whether it be one of 6 Glocks or the M&P9. So if I buy a Sig it either will be superior enough to convince me to change my habit, or it will be another safe queen like the BHP and the 1911. Great guns, fun to shoot, but since most of my shooting is gear toward proficiency with my daily concealed carry, time is spent shooting what I carry. I guess I should retire so I have more time to shoot. ;)
 
I like both. Both are well made guns that will do the job. I have s preference for Sig, but that's because of an emotional connection. I'd buy a glock in a heartbeat. In fact, I'll probably get a glock 20 at some point.
 
To the OP... dude if you want a SIG then buy one. They are fine firearms and what I carry at my agency. I carry the P227 when in uniform and doing warrant service, I carry a P290 when in plain clothes. I've put thousands of thousands of rounds through both Glocks and SIGs. If someone who doesn't have good SD pistol asks my advice, I would point more toward a Glock for the value. You have like a dozen Glocks, so you are beyond the "need a pistol for SD."

I would get it just to have something different, not because it's an infinitely better pistol. I never understood having 6+ specimens of the same gun, but that's just me. And it shouldn't be Glock vs. SIG... more like which Glock and which SIG :D
 
I have a SIG-Sauer P226 AL SO (the two tone version) and I love it. Since I prefere DA/SA pistols with a decocker-only feature, for me there's no comparison. I still like Glocks enought to see a G34 in my next future.
 
For me it came down to 2 things...

1. Plastic guns feel like crap to me.
2. I can't hit the broad side of a barn with a glock :P


You could ditch the whole debate and buy a CZ :)
 
I have been a LE firearms instructor for 27 years. In the beginning it was all revolvers then Glock 21s and later Glock 17s. In the hands of staff who only go to the range because they are required to, the Glocks had more issues than revolvers. That is not to say some other semiautomatic pistol wouldn't have had the same problems. The Glocks were accurate enough for LE work and they certainly were cheap enough being discounted to agencies. While I shot lots of them and they worked okay, I never had a desire to buy one myself even with the discounts offered. Most all of my pistols I bought were to use for some type of competition and the restriction against lead bullets alone kept me away from Glock.

As far as Sig goes I saw an all steel P220 with good sights on it and I bought it pretty much on looks alone. This was my first and only Sig. The first day shooting it (using lead bullets I might add) did not disappoint so I don't think it will be my last Sig. It is all in what you are looking for as YMMV.

Simply put these two guns are two different classes. Regardless of similarities in reliability and the facts that they are both semi-autos does not give me good reason to put them in the same class. To me the Sig is a better gun overall.

Better how?

I really didnt see much difference at all, other than the SIG's and their accessories, cost me more money, overall.

Ive found that both shot fine, and that was never an issue, but besides the Glock costing less right off, I get even more out of the Glocks from the $$ standpoint, in that I can usually use same mags and holsters, across the different models. Commonality, is a good thing.
 
The analogy I would make is comparing Glock and Sig is like comparing Toyota and BMW. They are excellent companies that make world class products. Most BMWs are more expensive than Toyotas. Are BMWs better cars? That's hard to answer. The answer is somewhat subjective as it depends on what you're looking for and what you can afford.

I own 8 Glocks and 2 Sigs. Do I think one brand is better? No. Both guns are just as reliable and go bang when I pull the trigger. The main reason I own more Glocks is they are less expensive. If I could afford to own more Sigs I would.

I know Sig is starting to make lower cost striker fired pistols like the P320 with polymer frames that are priced similar to a Glock. I haven't had an opportunity to try one yet but have been hearing good things about them.
