Okay guys, I really just wanted to stir the soup here. Is Sig really worth the money? I mean is it $500 more reliable than a Glock or $3-400 better than a 92fs? I know every gun has a honk behind it that will fight for that gun to the death but really a P226 is double the price of an XDm? WTF Okay plenty of chum in the water. Got get it [Muaha]
I have 2 sig P226's I absolutely love them. But they're also the best handgun for me. If an XD works for you great.
I totally hear ya. I'm a glock guy and decided that I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Sigs. So, I bought a P226.
Well, I have to say after owning it for about a year and half. I've found nothing particularly special about it. It has a good feel, shoots well, but so far it does nothing better than any of my Glocks or worse for that matter.
I was looking to sell it, but I'm keeping it. It is a nice gun to have in the collection.
Sigs are very, very good guns.
However, for that kind of money, I would buy a 1911. In the Glock and XD price range, they really are the best game in town. Once you have stepped up to Sig money, you can find a nice Kimber, Springfield, or maybe even SIG 1911, and the triggers are night and day.
In fact, if you want a Sig I think you should buy this one. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=215727961
I think it all comes down to personal preference! The same could be said for HK, is it really worth the extra? I'm not so sure as I compared my glock to my HK P2K and I shoot the glock much better. I'll keep the HK as it's a nice piece but I perfer glock.
I have nothing bad to say about Sigs, I also have nothing good to say about them. With that said, i've never owned one [Tooth].
Other than 1911's, i've always had a hard time spending more than about $500 on a semi-auto handgun, which is why I buy Glock. Now that's not to say Sigs aren't good pistols (I know they are, and I have never even owned one), but they (and their price) are not for me.
I suppose it's all what you like. I have an XD45 that I adore, and a 229.. The XD by far is lighter, but I do like the extra weight and the decocker on my 229. They both go bang rather well..
I'll tell you I have several Glocks and I think Glock is a great firearm that is very reliable. I have several buddies that own Sigs and IMHO Sig has better weight absorbs the recoil better and seem to fall right back on target every time. No knock on Glock at all but if I could pick up a Sig refurb at a good price I think you'd be pretty darn happy if not Glock is an awesome alternative both will keep you smiling ear to ear for years to come.
As you know, used Sigs can be purchased all day in $500 range. I picked up a basically new older West German 226 a year or so ago on GB for -hold on- wait for it- $475. In the box, K-Kote, -0- wear, extra mags. For that price they can't be beat. One of the all-time classic combat 9mms.[Muaha]
But at the new gun price for 226 at around a G... is it that much better that a new gun price of say $550 for a Glock, XDM, or M&P?
