Sig Vs Glock

I love my sig 226 in .40s&w, and have fired glocks. For some reason I just cant get past all the polymer bits, and the pelet gun like feel to the glock. The sig for the most part can be compleatly torn down in under 5min(thats all internal components, except the fring pin) All you need is a flat blade screwdriver or two, and something to push a few pins out. Assembly takes a bit more time though. and comleate teardown is probably unnessasary unless you have droped it in mud, or its realy grimey from firing thousands of rounds.

Also another 9mm some of you may want to look at is the BHP, A classic all steel 9mm, and some still consider it king.
 
Glock... Glock... Glock...

Me and my wife each have one...

G17 for her
G22 for me...

ZERO problems so far...

Cheers

If I owned a Sig I would say Sig. IF I owned a Glock I would say Glock. I own neither! CZ's are better built than either, and are less expensive. Oh did I say I own a CZ.:D

Take Care

Pitdog..

Get the Sig, youll like it better longterm. Get it in Stainless to. The Glock is great, but the Sig might hold value better over the long haul should you want to sell it. I like the G17 alot..but think between the two that the Sig has slight better properties.
 
Pretty much every thing I was going to say about preference was said already. As far as reliability goes, I never had a stoppage with a glock pistol but I had to get issued a new one because both of the slide rails on the rear portion of the frame cracked. I fired alot of rds through it but based on the so called stories of hundreds of thousands rds fired through glock pistols, it should not have happened. Also during a trg exercise the pistol ( with a bullet blocker inserted of course), was knocked out of my hand and upon contact with the concrete, chewed the #### ot of the polymer frame. Would this happen with a Sig, probably not but who knows. Both are good guns, whatever you choosE. Then there is the Sig with the DAK trigger, from what people are saying, you get the best of both worlds.

The plastic mags in the Glock get sticky and do not drop out cleanly.

That is because they were designed to not drop or eject but to have to be pulled out manually. It was one of the requirements put forth by the Austrian army (I think it was the army) when they were shopping around for a new gun.

It's funny(to me), that this thread shoud come up as I just had this very same converstation with my partner at work. He is a Glock man and I am all about Sigs .

If you want your question answered properly, you need to do a list of pros and cons and then pick off the things that matter to you and match them with the gun that has them.

As you are not the first person to stumble upon this existential quanadrum, go here where someone has already done all the work and read about the big show down between "SIG vs. GLOCK:

SIG vs. Glock

Have fun!

I will second this, my Sig 226Stainless is wonderful to shoot and easy to clean. Just over $1100 from TSE
 
If you want a gun you can treat like your old lawnmower...get the Glock. I have just today bought another one, I bought my first one in 1986, and now I bought one today in 2006! If you like a gun that you can beat the living tar out of and not worry about the finish etc, this is the only one to consider in my eyes!

There was a recall on some models for exactly this problem.

I hate to say it, but if any gun gets knocked on the concrete there is going to be some damage. As far as your recall..I know people who have had one for 20 years now..(gen 1) and never had a problem.. is yours a gen 2? or 3? I know I have had to send back a brand new rifle for a recall, it was a remington..this will happen from time to time with mass production of cars, guns etc. Not that anyone wants this to happen, just a sad story that happens to many large manufacturing companies a time or two. It does not matter weather your dealing with steel, or polymers..it will happen.

I have sent all gens back for the same problem. Most police departments regularly trade out their fleets for the same reason. This is not a problem limited to a few Glocks it is a general weakness. HOWEVER, please don't construe this to mean that the pistol is weak. I am merely stating that this is the weak spot in the design. Many Glocks do last a very long time with heavy use. They don't however last longer than other quality pistols.
 
The best option would be to shoot both and see which one performs better for you--they're both top notch pistols, however they have distinctly different handling characteristics. It'd be very hard to say which one would suit you better without handling and shooting them.
 
I just finished a Glock transition course today (6 guys shot 4000 rounds in 2 1/2 days), and even though I own a Sig, I have to admit I shot the Glock better. It's still a toss up though - I have nothing bad to say about either of them. I love them both!

Does anyone here know if they have corrected this weakness in the frame??

It isn't a "weakness" per se, it is the weak spot in their design. Most guns still go a very long time.
