who knows after I pick up a glock I may feel the same as everyone else who posted

[patterson]

heard the gen 4s come with additional backstraps and even ones with beavertails so maybe with the extra options one might feel right in my hand

[Cedar Park Dad]

im not offended but I prefer the added safety when I carry cocked and locked or round in chamber and decocked on a sig its just my preference and im definetly interested in picking up a glock but probably will not use for carry,I will carry what feels comfortable in my hand and what I shoot the most accurate and what I feel is the most safest for me

Have you considered an XDM with a grip safety? I don't normally suggest other pistols and only suggest this IF the DA/SA differential is too much for you. Some people (me) it is, other people (my Wife) its not.

Otherwise, out of the box the Sig SA trigger SHOULD BE much crisper and tighter. You can tweak a Glock to have a similar trigger, but it costs.

I have no issues with the da/sa trigger on my sig p226 and it shoots very accurate and I have considered the xdm and also the m&p9 because I believe you can get it with an external safeties but I always hear how reliable and acuurate the glock is but what I don't like about the glock is no external safety just trigger safety,and the low bore axis because I am used to shooting 1911s and now the sig,there seems to be a lot of glock fanboys out there

[patterson]

the sa trigger on my sig is very smooth but in my opinion nothing beats a 1911 trigger

I also like the beretta 92fs but its grip doesn't seem to feel as right in my hand as the sig

[Cedar Park Dad]

Sounds like you prefer the Sig. If the gun works for you then haven't gone wrong. Now practice!

If torn between these two guns, you have to figure out if you want a striker fired polymer, or SA/DA with some heft to it.

All the other points wash out when compared the above primary differentiator.

This was the difference for me. I can fire both, and both are great guns, but for me the SA/DA had a lot of value over the striker fired for reasons explained here.

But I didn't feel that I compromised...instead of picking between a striker fired polymer and a SA/DA with some heft, I got a SigSauer SP2022, which is a SA/DA polymer. That way I got the benefit of the weight reduction of the polymer, but I still got the action I wanted (and no safety, which I also wanted, as explained in my link above).

that might be a better carry for me because of the weight and I am used to the da/sa platform

looked at the link and looks like most people suggest everything but sigs must be a lot of glock people in this forum

Not a lot of people are into DA/SA styles.

I own a sig p226, M&P full size VTAC 9 mm, Glock 17 Gen4, Glock 19 Gen4, and Colt New Agent.
I have used both the Sig p226 and the Glock 19 in separate pistol courses (round counts 500-800 each course).

My preferences are as follows:
Grip ergonomics-unmodified out of the box: Sig p226
Bore axis- Glock
Engineering quality and feel: Sig p226
Trigger preference: Glock after modification (GHOST connector, polishing)
Sights out of the box: Sig night sights
Performance during pistol courses: Glock
Comfort during carry conceal: Glock (lighter)
Availability of accessories: Glock

What do I prefer overall? I carry concealed a Glock Gen 4 but I have had to modify it significantly. The reconstructive surgeries on my Glock have included: Grip reduction to better fit my hands, heavy stippling, changing sights to Ameriglo I-dot sights, and Ghost Evo Elite connector and polishing. Once you have made all of these changes, the price matches the Sig but my glock now fits and feels great. You cannot modify the Sig very much except for the sights.
The Glock performed much better in terms of handling and accuracy (after above modifications) during the courses. The accuracy of the Sig was great once the SA kicked in but as others have mentioned, the initial DA to SA transition threw me off too many times. Carrying the glock is much more comfortable because of its lighter weight.

Hope this helps.

doesn't the military use the da/sa platform such as the M9 as a secondary weapon

if im gonna spend more money for performance enhancements to a new gun I would rather do it on a 1911
