Glock 17 vs SIG SP2022

[gmh1013]

Both are poly pistols....the Sig is about 50 bucks cheaper than the Glock.
I lean towards the SIG because of the exposed hammer which I like better than Glocks striker fired....what would you get?

Big fan of the hammer system myself. To be honest, they're both totally different pistols in terms of ergonomics. You need to hold them both and you'll most likely love one and hate the other. Your personal preference is the only thing that will decide which pistol will fall into which category.

the sigs a nice gun. if it fits you, get it. for myself, the glock fits me. speaksoftly pretty much nailed it imho.

Both are excellent choices, however a G19 would be more comparable to the SP2022 in terms of size

It really comes down to which you shoot better IMO. Both are very well proven and would last you a very long time

Myself, SIGs are my favorite guns, but I don't shoot them all that well. I rock ass with Glocks, so that's what I would choose

My first gun was a P226 and that was my benchmark that I used to compare all the handguns I would encounter. It looks awesome and feel very comfortable in the hands when shooting. Well balanced and quality built.

So now I recently purchased the Gen 4 Glock 17. I don't like small guns because of the recoil and my shooting accuracy, so I didn't even think about the Glock 19. So my reason for getting the Glock 17 was because it is one of those guns that are low maintenance, dependable, easy to shoot and lots of aftermarket modifications available. I am not used to having a DAO because it is perhaps just me being paranoid. There is no safety lever. Since I use my guns for target shooting and practice, it is fine with me as I will not be keeping the gun loaded ever unless I will be doing some shooting. I can shoot 10 rounds at a 10" target at 50ft without my glasses (I am nearsighted) and can hit about 5 times out of 10 on average. My best was probably at 8 of 10. I remember my first time shooting, it was 4 (not bad) as I am a true amateur. What is weird is my one hand shooting gets better accuracy than my two hand shooting stance. My glock came standard with a case and 2 clips and a lock. Very convenient.


I also have the newest generation of SP2022 SigPro but it is a 40SW caliber, haven't got the time to shoot it yet. It is definitely not the same feel as the P226. I will write more about it if anyone cares to see my opinions about these two guns.


So my thoughts are this. The glock 17 seems to look flimsy and cheap, but I think I love it the most. If I had to choose what I have in my lineup, I would choose the Glock 17 G4.

I love my Glock 17, but the sig is a cooler gun, however the glock will have much more holster options. If you just want a range toy I'd get the sig.

I would get FNP9 over 2022

An OD 17 would get my vote...if you can find one.

Both are good choices, see if you can hold the two guns and pick which one fits your hand better.

 

[rellascout]

DA/SA or DAO?

That is the question....

I own 7 SIGs, and a G34 Glock, if it is between a G17 and a SIG SP2022, I would have to go with the Glock. The G19 would actually be closer in size and would get my vote over the SIG (I cannot believe I just said that). Seriously, the Glock is a better platform, I have shot both pistols, G17 is a much better handling pistol during rapid fire and more accurate in slow fire in my experience. Now if the SIG has night sights...maybe
