Yeah, but on the other end of the spectrum, what does selling a Glock 17 mean?
And I say this as a guy who primarily shoots a Glock 17. I love it like I love a microwave oven.

Haha!
Lol.... But the sig is the trusted name for all IMF agents everywhere... Christ, Mission Impossible 3 is almost sponsored by sig....
Though in all honesty I like the beretta more than the sig, fits nicer in my hands and I personally found the action was smoother than the sig....
I'm currently debating if I want a 92fs or an m&p

I have both the Sig P226 and Beretta 92A1. You really can't go wrong either way but I would go for the 92A1. It's cheaper, just as reliable, just as accurate and the trigger on the Beretta already has a shorter reset than a normal Sig P226.

Someone mentioned no difference in price..
Where are you buying that there is no difference in price?

Used P226, NIB 92A1.
I have many cool Sigs but like you am used to a high grip and that's not coolio with Sigs. Many a times the slide doesn't lock after the last shot( thumb riding the release)

Dont forget about the Die Hard movies. John McClane loves his Beretta.
I've owned the P226 for awhile and shot quite a bit with it, and have tried a friend's 92fs back-to-back, here's my take on the Sig:
- the slide lock is located pretty far back and close to where your strong hand thumb would be, so depending on how you grip your gun, you may find that you'll be pressing down on the slide lock, preventing the slide from being held open at the last shot
- I don't like how much muzzle rise there is (for a 9mm). I'm thinking this is mostly due to the higher bore axis relative to where your grip is - it's rather high. I find that it takes a bit longer to return your sights back onto the target for follow up shots.
- Double action is a bit heavy but not horrible.
- Without the E2 grips, and with small hands, the gun may feel too big to grip, but if you're used to a gen 3 Glock then it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
- I like the decocker.
- The thing is damn accurate.
- Build/craftsmanship is excellent.
As much as I like Sig products in general, between the two I would take the Beretta because it feels "softer" when shooting, and not as much perceived muzzle rise. That's just me, though.

It's funny because my buddies thought the same. But obviously the Glock kicks more but because the force goes straight back (cuz of the higher grip and the low bore axis), the muzzle rise is almost the same as the Sig.
Love shooting Glocks, though. Something about the recoil... don't know how to explain it, but it just feels right and easy to control.
Wow, lots of different perspectives,
I've shot the Beretta 92 9mm & it felt anemic, The P226 9mm shoots well for me but I shoot my P229 in .40 better than any 9mm !
My P229 returns to target sooo fast and works like a swiss clock- no jams, no slide failure to lock, etc.
Go shoot 100 rounds in each of the guns you are looking at.

The first time I shot handguns, I had 7-8 options to try. I couldn't get a comfortable grip on the Beretta and I achived my worst groups with it. Best groups on that first night were with a P229 in .40 and I now own a P226ST with SRT. Try both of them and decide for yourself.
