Sig p226 vs Glock 17

[elpenguin0717]

you make it sound as if the sig as 20levers


Well, you're right--Heck I've never owned a Sig..Just got my first Glock a couple of years ago.

It's been a LONG way from my S&W revolvers..HA HA....Bill.

you need to feel the diffrence! lol run down to your local gun store and fondle one for yourself......now dont rub it too much cause youll ended up owning it! lol ......glocks are awsome i always recommended the. to first tiime gun buyers for the simplicity to it but the sig in my hands is a perfect fit and i can shoot it very well so iv just been infatuated either gun wellthe job all cones down to which one you can shoot best cause at the the end of the day if you can hit anything with your bullets you might aswell use it as a club ......in which case the sig would be best since its all metal

If you can't field strip a Glock...
Glock gives you a similar warning Sig does:
from the sig manual:

2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured” hand-loaded, or other non-standard
ammunition voids all warranties. reloading is a science and improperly loaded
ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and
serious injury to the shooter or to others may result. always use ammunition that
complies with the industry performance standards established by the Sporting
arms and ammunition Manufacturers’ institute, inc. (SaaMi) of the united States
or ammunition manufactured to military specifications.


Glock does add they don't "recommend" the use of unjacketed lead ammo. They don't say you can't.

Only owed one Glock. Just can't find the lust with them the way Sigs do.

I didn't say that I can't, but don't sit there and tell me you never have trouble field stripping your Glock with the standard take-down. I can say that I NEVER have issues with my Sig.

I'm still trying to find where Sig dissuades owners from using unjacketed ammo. I could be totally wrong, but Glock is the only manufacturer I've seen mentioned that causes people so shoot only jacketed ammo. Now, I know plenty of guys who shoot unjacketed lead rounds through their Glocks with no issue. I'm just noting that Sig doesn't publish the same precautionary measures with their handguns.

Plus with Glock you don't have the awesomeness that is The Viking!!

Both are excellent weapons, but Glock gets my vote.

 

[indianafly]

My vote would be sig. The only down side to it for me is weight. I've always liked single action more. The fact that it's a double action on first pull means you don't have to carry it hammer back like the 1911(nothing wrong with it.)

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I'll never join you, Lord Vader!
I just like the way a Sig feels in my hand.
Nothing against the tupperware, they do work, just not my thing.

Extended take down tabs are only a few bucks at Bradis, Que

HORRIBLE rear sights!

HORRIBLE rear sights!

If you play The Immigrant Song by Zepplin they don't seem so bad!

LOL. Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong, they look suhhh-weet. But, come on, definitely not practical. You'd poke your eye out!

Why must you make me choose?

The Sig p226 needs nothing but a nice holster and some ammo.


AND---

1. A lot fatter wallet.

2. More time/patience to FIND holsters-magazines-accessories.

3. More padding on your body to cushion all the levers/extra stuff on the Sigs.

4. The proper mindset to operate all of these extra/unnecessary switches+levers.


But, yes, as you say the Sigs are good to go..Bill.

His most hilarious opinion was to change the plastic guide rod ahahahaha. Its easily one of the most reliable parts of a glock.

I havent shot the g17 (have fired a g18 that was pretty nice) but have a 19 and a 226. Shooting and feel I prefer the 226. I am with some of the others on here, nothing feels as nice in your hand as a 226!

 

[Fordtough25]

Going to have to vote Glock again, I love mine. Nothing wrong with a good Sig, but I don't have one so.....

 

[Ccook1065]

Sig would be my choice. I have never liked the glock for the feel. It just isn't comfortable for me.

 

[arbys1]

Neither 9mm are for suppressing only!

 

[DeathWish]

I love the 226, but the 17 gets my vote... more options for the 17
