Glock 17 or Sig 226?

[Evenflow]

Glock: $450
Sig: $750

Both brand spankin 9mm new. I shot them both and I am equally good with both of them. Neither of them has a rail which I really want so I can put a light on it. How much would a rail cost to put on these? I need help deciding!

no brainer: GLOCK

I have been looking at XD pistols but before that I was considering a SIG P226 or 229. Glocks have a good rep but they are just not my style.

Why not look into an XD or an M&P? Both come with rails and both are (In my opinion) slight improvements on the Glock design.

Shoot all of them and pick on how they feel. I recently went with an M&P.

I'm in MA so no Springers.

I shoot both well and awesome so its hard to choose here.

226, unless you really like plastic.

Then pick up an M&P and compare that to the Glock. I believe the M&P line is still legal up there.

sigs are rust magnets...just wait. you'll see.

phlobus, you by any chance ever play counter-strike


Also, I mean springfield XD are illegal here.

Well, I see no one has actually given any good advice...

SHOOT BOTH, see which you like and are comofortable with and purchase = profit.

i've had and carried my 229 for 5 years and have put prolly 1000rds though it, it's been rained and snowed on and yet there isn't a spot of rust on it nor has there even been...gee i wonder why

OP both are fine guns

I strongly recommend the M&P from Smith&Wessen also. Try it. I was in the market about 6months ago. Tried the Glock. It was uncomfortable to ME. I never tried the 226. The XMP was increadible comfortable and came with the 3 different size palm swells(like the M&P) plus a holster and extra clips.

I fell in love with the M&P40 personally with the XMP in 2nd. Glock has a great rep. and weighs less then the others and holds more rounds but it didn't fit me. Not trying to confuse you more but the XMP and M&P are ones you might look into also.

Glock or the M&P. I own both.

Out of the choices you put, sig. not a fan of glocks.

mine was department issue. they were inspected weekly. so, we had to clean them weekly. wonder why. the dept switched over to glock and we didnt have the inspections anymore. wonder why:shrug:

just me experience. doesnt mean op has to go with what i say. do your own research and see.

 

[Matts00GT]

Get a newer glock. All of the new ones have rails. I guess I should say all of the new non-subcompacts to be more precise.

Another loyal Glock user here. But, I can honestly say what everyone else has. YOU have to try different ones to see what feels best to YOU. Just because one person likes how one feels/shoots, doesnt mean the other will.

For reliability, I just personally don't think you can go wrong with a Glock. Thats what our department carries, but alot of our officers also have them as their personal sidearms too. Our local Police Department (I'm Sheriff) carries Sigs. They have for atleast 10 years now. Once again, another great sidearm. I have just always felt the sigs were heavier, and never fit my hands quite right. But, as said.... try to shoot every one known to man to find out what YOU like best!

Really? I've put a couple thousands rounds through mine SIG and there is zero rust. :shrug: Maybe you should get your facts straight.

OP, I own a Glock and a SIG and I would choose the SIG anyday.
