Hey fellow enthusiasts!

Looking for a new striker fired, always wanted a G22 but these new Sig P320's are very appealing. Who has experience with both Glocks and the new P320?

Personal opinions welcome, looking to incite good informative discussion.
 
I've shot glock and 320 back to back. I preferred the 320. For me it pointed naturally, the sights were easy to pick up, and the trigger is real crispy. The only hard decision I would have would be g19 vs 320. Other than that I would go with the sig.
 
I can't figure out why they kept the higher bore axis. Was this just to keep their 'look?' If that's the case, they can stuff the P320 up their...

I like the concept behind this gun, but I have no interest in it due to the aforementioned high bore axis.
 
I would pass on the Glock 22; .40 Glocks continue to be the "problem children" of the Glock lineup. I'm not sure about the P320. Most initial reports seem positive, but it is new to the market and SIG has had quality problems over the past few years with the legacy P22X pistols and the P250. If you just had to have a .40 and those were the two choices, I would take the P320.

Glock seems to have mostly debugged their 9mm models.
 
I own a P320 , Glock 22 and a Glock 19. Out of the box the P320 has the nicest trigger I've ever felt on a striker fired pistol and comes with really nice night sights. As for the Glock its a Glock , outstanding track record for reliability and highly customizable.
I've never had a malfunction with any of these pistols , I would say the main difference is the grip angle. The Sig shoots like a Sig and the Glock is a Glock.

Actually G22 is one of the most popular pistols in Glock's lineup for the last 20 years, so I'm not really sure what was on your mind when you declared it a "problem child".

It's the problem child because it's the only Glock that breaks - literally, and does so consistently. I attended Glock days at CSC and listened to the rep say that because of the .40 cal being a high compression round, over time the slides, frame, etc can crack and do occasionally fail.

Pressure of the .40 is on level with 9mm round actually, If you don't believe so, check it out here:

If it brakes so constantly as you claim the department I work for would probably notice that by now.

I have no idea who you work for or how many rounds you put through your G22s; I only know what I heard firsthand from the Glock rep and also from Glock guys behind the counter at CSC here in Calgary.

That's a pretty ####ty rep if he's badmouthing the brand he's supposed to represent. Glock should fire him.
 
Both are similar price points, both are well made and are good shooters. If you require after market parts, or even cheaper OEM parts you are going to be better off with Glock. Even just availability of parts the Glock would have the advantage. The Sig is too new, although it does have the P250 similar to it for some parts/accessories.

Might come down to Ergo's, just pick both up and see which feels and points better. You cannot go too wrong with either though, IMO.

I have a hard time to believe that Glock Rep would say something like that actually. There is a good reason behind popularity of G22 among LE agencies in North America. Some of the pistols here are 10 years old with probably close to 80-100k rounds thru each and are due for replacement this year. None of them had any issues that I know of except for scheduled maintenance and spring replacement as per Glock armorer's manual. Actually when I'm looking at my new, personal G22 next to the 10 years old, duty one I have a hard time to see which one is which. There are no obvious signs of wear. All I know is that there is a lot of false information all over the internet about .40 in general and most of that is nothing, but the people repeating the same myths without having actual experience with the round or willingess to learn some basic facts. Prime example - ".40 is high pressure round".

They may keep the bore axis intentionally high to keep the arm a little lower. I find if I lift my arm up to point at something it naturally goes level with my shoulder. For whatever reason I shot my P229 better than my Glock (Gen 3 and Gen 4). I have a P226 on order so I'll see how that goes.

Popular isn't the same thing as good.

No, a good salesman pushes the product that is most likely to result in long term satisfaction while being willing to provide an alternate to the customer who insists on something else for whatever reason. If Glock representatives are saying that their .40s are just as durable as their 9mms, that is such a blatant lie that they may as well be wearing Herb Tarlek jackets.
