For what it's worth.. I've never really liked any of the Glocks I've fired (a 17c, a 26, and a 19). Of them all, Lars reminds me I liked the 26 the best because it fit my hand better than any of the others. I didn't like Fenway's Glock because the grip was too rough and tore into the fleshy part of my hand, especially in the recoil. With all of them, I remember my hand not fitting around it very well (I have small hands).
With the Sigs (in case you've forgotten, I have both a Mosquito and a P226, so Lars's poor wrist can use my Mosquito when it's feeling wimpy), I really like the way both feel in my hand. Bonus: I can operate the slides easily with minimal effort. (The day I bought the 226, there were some guns I handled that I couldn't even move the slide, let alone reach the slide lock to lock it back. I amused the counter guys quite a bit when I started asking to look at ten different pistols repeatedly.)
While Mike tells me I shoot well, I still don't shoot well enough for me to say this gun is more accurate than that gun. (Although I did shoot a few rounds through a Kimber 1911 in .45 today, and THAT was pretty darn accurate compared to our small collection that I have been shooting. *swoons*)
I think it also depends on what model you're looking at (not necessarily Glock vs. Sig as a whole, but like the Sig P226 vs. the P232). Example: we started looking at the gun counter at Cabela's because I was interested in looking at some of the smaller Sigs (a la P232). However, as much as I was interested in the size and weight of that model, the slide release on it was a no-go for me. It was too different from the others I had been shooting already.
