$1100 for a P226 seems kind of cheap, the prices I have seen on them are about $1250 everywhere that has had one in stock. Personally I like the SIG, I have fired both and I thought the sig was a better shot. I own a Beretta M9A1 and I just got back from the range, shoots like a dream, takes any ammo and never jams. Its more expensive than the Glock but less than the Sig by a few hundred bucks, an excellent gun.
Sig 226 and the Glock 17. Whats the difference?

Glock vs. Sig
Ak vs. AR
Ford vs. Bmw
Timex vs. Rolex
They all do what they were designed to do well, the latter just does is it 'tighter' then the former.
That being said I wear a Rolex but I love to shoot the timex.

I on the other hand found Sig didn't shoot worth a dime for me, not even come close to my 75B that I sold while back
. My $599 Glock 17 shoot even better than the 226 that I've tried.Trigun
I own neither gun but buying something made out of injection molded plastic over machined metal would be a lot cheaper. Better quality? I don't know. I've never shot a Glock. I have shot the S&W M&P and thought it was OK. Then again I have numerous guns with alloy frames and steel slides. I'm not what you would consider a small guy and if I had my way and could afford it, I'd have all my handguns made out of solid steel. But then again I have Norcs mixed in with my S&W's, CZ's and Walthers.
I'm still unclear as to how "better handling" equates to a safer pistol? The slippery grip on Glocks is definitely a reality. Grip tape solves the problem. As far as grip strength, I'm still confused. Unless you run a G20/21 there is no additional strength required to manage recoil. The low bore axis makes recoil management less of a struggle than that of other handguns.

Found a funny quote
GLOCK lovers and haters - not much in between. People who don't like them usually blame something vague like "grip angle" or "terrible trigger" (though most couldn't shoot much better with a gun custom molded to their hand with a trigger pull that snaps like a saltine cracker).
One is metal, One is polymer
People who say it feels like a toy...Either had some insane toys as youngsters or they are sounding tough talking fluff.
Who buys a synthetic rifle and complains it doesn't feel like walnut?
What do you expect a synthetic frame would feel like... steel?
Or in the case of most metal guns aluminum.
Also you might consider with the money they save on polymer you are getting double in the steel, over the excess cost of manufacturing the metal frame. Maybe that is where the extra cost comes from and lands you about equal in value.

"EQUAL IN VALUE"...huh?
nobody stops you buying what you want or like...keep on buy cheap plastics, IMHO you can have all of them, but for sure a plastic will be never in my wish list...LOL !

I don't know where you get 40 minutes to tear down a sig... I can have all the springs and components out of my p226 in five minutes or less. I've never actually timed myself but the P226 is not difficult to disassemble/reassemble... unless you were the kid who tried to put the square block through the circle hole with a big hammer.
My sig is getting pretty nice holster rash on the end of the slide and where the thumb break contacts the left side of the slide.
Accuracy? With the right ammo I can make hit after hit on the gong at 100m.
The glock doesn't feel right in my hands compared to the sig, plus they are, in my opinion, one of the ugliest handguns on the market. Besides you could always buy a used sig for $600-$800 to save money instead of buying new...

I couldn't decide and got both. I still can't decide but I have slight leanings towards my Sig. Also, I got a good deal from Questar. I got the .22 version with a .40 S&W barrel conversion.

Ppl that talk about slippery grips on glocks have never held the RTF2 version. It sticks to your hands even when sweaty.
