Sig worth it?

Glock is a Honda Civic.... you are fixin to start a riot up in this bitch

I think BMW vs Honda is a better comparison of Sig vs Glock than Ford/Chevy. Fords and Chevy's are comparably priced. BMWs cost much more than Hondas.

The BMW will take you to the same places the Honda will and for most the ride will be much more comfortable. The price of gas in both will be the same, although I'm not sure if the BMWs get better mileage than Hondas. Over the life of the car, the BMW will cost much more. Hondas are really reliable.

Just like the choice between a Sig and a Glock; what are you using them for, how much can you spend?

Outstanding point!!

I would say a Glock is at least an Accord but civic works. Reliable, cheap, tons of em, tons of after-market kit for em.... i get it

The Sig's and the 92F are some of the top line combat pistols. They feel good in you hands easy to clean and have great accuracy.
I've seen my sheriff carries a Sig 220.

The Glocks do not feel good in your hands and are not too hard to clean but not easy. Accuracy is spotty from pistol to pistol some are good some are great. They are little bulky.

I agree with nontactical. I've owned two SIGs, and absolutely love em, but they are a bit too proud of their stuff. That said, if you can find a good used one, especially one of the ones manufactured in Germany, grab it. IMHO, their quality's not quite what it used to be since they started producing the slides/barrels in the US. And nontactical is right, if you're gonna put down that kind of money, you might as well get something nicer, say a 1911 if you're into em.

I'll get in on this one. I have a 226 in 9mm with a stainless frame which adds about half a pound. I also have a 17lb main spring, short reset trigger (but not a short trigger), and a stainless guide rod. It's a heavy, smooth shooter and judging by the other full stainless ones I've seen and handled (10's of thousands of rounds through them) it will last me a very long time.

There were a few big things that got me to that purcahse. First, I'm left-handed and the reversable magazine release is key for me.

Also, this was my second handgun. I had some more money to invest and after working at a range for a year I knew what I was looking for. Between renting guns and seeing what came through it became clear what guns shot well, were built to last, and had the ability to be maintained by me rather than having to send it anywhere to have regular work done. The stainless 226 hit all the marks.

Third, there are .22 conversion kits available. I love getting cheap trigger time.

What I always told people looking to purchase, though, is figure out what feels good to you, figure out your budget, do some research to make sure it's not a total piece of junk, and ignore all the fanboys who tell you that their gun is the "best." As long as you're having a good time and it's not a gun you're always betting your life on then a lot of stuff doesn't matter.

22lr in a stainless P226? How would you even know if the bullet left the barrel? Must be like firing bb's from a Barrett M107.

Sig definitely makes a quality firearm.

It's pretty fast shooting. It's even nicer in an X5 frame!

If you're put off by the relatively high price of the SIG P-series guns, take a look at the SIGPro series. Same SIG reliability with a polymer frame and a great trigger - all at a Glock price. Tom at Top Gun Supply has them routinely for $400 or less.
