Just my quick note... they are different guns. Depends on personal preference, and this is the biggest thing go to your local gun store hold and play with both!
Both are great works of enginering... something to keep in mind... sig is a da/sa so you are going to have 2 different tirggerpulls on your first and second shot if you are planing of friging from holster decocked... or you will just be sa with ur sig like some ppl( I have seen carrying p229's hammer cocked ready to rock)
glock is just going to be one consistant trigger pull... however if you are like me glocks just don't fit my hand, and I do shoot with them the gf has one... just if I am spending my money I want something that is comfortable...
Havent shot the 2 side by side enough to compare accuracy/ recoil I am sure someone else can fill you in but which ever you choose I am sure you will be happy with! Good luck!

I used to own a GLOCK 17. I sold it because I didn't really like it that much, although I am considering getting a 19 to try something different. I have shot a SP2022 in 9mm in a kind of "taste test" side-by-side comparison with my SIG 229, and it stacked up quite well against the "classic" SIG. The 229 is the better gun, but the SP2022 takes the SIG 220 idea and morphs it into a polymer gun, and the result is very nice.
One thing that is a bit strange with the SP2022 is that it isn't really very light (30.2 oz). Many poly gun makers like to trumpet how light their guns are for carry purposes. The SP2022 is within a few ounces (like 2 ounces) of the 229 (32.4 oz) and 226 (34 oz) guns - whereas a GLOCK is probably 10 ounces lighter (I checked, it's 22.04 oz). For use at the range, heavy (within reason) tends to be a good thing. For cops and people that have to carry guns around all day, light is a good thing so they don't develop back problems and whatnot.
The things the SP2022 has going for it in my mind are: better ergonomics, better grip angle/pointability, better sights, SA trigger is easier to shoot accurately, more accurate overall.
The downside is: you have to de-#### it to holster it, and therefore you have to master two trigger pulls to shoot with a holster. This is no problem once you get used to it, but newbies tend to struggle with this. Carrying a SIG (other than an SAO model) around in a holster with the hammer back is not a good idea, and I can't imagine any range officer being fine with that if they notice it.
For the GLOCK: some people really like that grip angle... I don't know. The gun feels really front heavy to me. I don't think they are all that accurate with the stock barrels. They are built for total reliability, not accuracy. I'm also not wild about the triggers on them. No matter which connector you use, they feel mushy and unpredictable to me. The stock sights also completely suck in my view. I would never get a GLOCK unless I at least got the OEM night sights or some Meprolights or something like that.
The upside is that they are dead simple. You take the gun out of your holster, you pull the trigger, you fire it, you put it back in the holster. It seems to be one of the easiest guns to get up to a basic level of competence with (hence it's popularity with employers who have to train people to use firearms).
Both guns you can get parts for from Brownells, so you don't have to beg your local shop to order something for you from the Canadian distributor. Mags, holsters (and all parts and accesories) are going to be more common for the GLOCK, but SP2022 is not hard to get stuff for. You just aren't likely to walk into your local shop and see it on the shelf.
Between those two guns, I would probably give the nod to the SP2022, but definitely try both, or at least handle both, and try to get an idea what will suit you better. For me, the SP202 is going to be pretty much good to go out of the box. Again, for myself, I would not use a GLOCK with stock sights, and I would probably want to get some trigger work done.

I own a 2022, and have shot a 17 on a number of occasions. I like my 2022, but i am biased, i own one. I like the 17, i will likely get one, one day, after i have fixed my sig addiction.
Personally i've had a better time finding parts for a 17 then my 2022, that beeing said it hasn't been "THAT" hard to find parts and extras.
My sig runs good, runs when dirty runs wet, pretty much does what i need it to do.
Every time i've shot a 17, it was nice to shoot, no issues, and put a hole in the paper where i wanted it. Side by side i took the sig because fit and finish were what i wanted and sigs are known to be very reliable.

I bought a G17 and like it, very reliable and good accuracy and I like the grip angle a lot. But it is no way to say it is a better gun than a SP 2022 or any CZ line of pistols, not even come close. Very cheap made. Now the price of SP 2022 is way cheaper than before, I cannot see any reasons not to get one over the G17 but on the other hand it is so good to have a g17 because it just so easy to shoot well.

You can order them from Questar - which is one of the sight sponsers (see above). I shot a G19 with the Bar-Sto barrel and it really was a lot more accurate than the GLOCK stock barrel (I posted some targets on here awhile ago. I can probably find it. It is in my SIG/GLOCK/STEYR/HK/WALTHER/BERETTA comparison thread). I am thinking of getting a G19 with OEM night sights and the Storm Lake stainless barrel. The only downside of these (if this is a consideration for you at all) is that you can't use a gun with an aftermarket barrel in "production"-type competition - at least not where people are taking things seriously (which is pretty all the time in these things IMHO, even if it is just local club bragging rights at stake).
For stock G17 vs. G19 with aftermarket barrrel, see post #37 (page 4 on my screen) here:

I remember being in the same boat. The M&P is my first for a few reason's. The main one is I shot it well and enjoy shooting it. The next will be the 90-two. Then I'm on to the 1911's for the real stainless candy.
PS. don't tell the wife this plan hahaha...

Some good info and advice so far. I am also looking around for a new 9. I have particular grip issues in that I have a broken finger tip that did not heal properly and now only has limited movement...so it means altering that finger's position on every handgun (on some it "sticks out" the side!). I have handled the M&P, and found it to be somewhat uncomfortable because of this, I also find this on my Glock 17, but I am making do. I am considering the SP 2022 because the grip on my 226 is one of the better ones for me. But, I also have a question about the 2022...can you shoot lead bullets through it, or is it's barrel rifled like the Glock?

my wife has small hands and she can shoot the 2022 fine, there is a small gap between her thumbs but she can reach all the controls. Her only complaint is the trigger pull, she doesn't like the 2 pull weights of the sig. I think she is getting a g17, but she likes the 19's too.
Edit: Yes my barrel is riffled.
