Sig or Glock in .45ACP for Carry?

[Autolycus]

I would have to say Sig. I prefer the Sig over the Glock. However the Glock 30 does look nice.

Have you considered an HK USPc .45?

Or waiting for the HK45?

I really like my new G-30 I started carrying it last week and it carries real nice in a C-TAC

 

[Slvr Surfr]

I have had two sigs, one of which was a Sig220. Ive shot it side by side with the G21. I no longer own any sigs. The P220 did not hold more than 8 rds, had misfeeds, and was very expensive to accessorize (mags, sights).

With the 21 felt recoil is reduced to a push, is DAMN reliable, and cheap to accessorize. Parts can be found anywhere short of wal-mart. Out of 8 glocks, I have never ever had any of them KBoom. The sigs are prettier but the glocks are all buisiness.

Glock for me.

I'm sure Sig is the superior engineered product overall, but I'd go with the 22oz 7 shot .45acp. Velocity from a polygonal rifled 3.78" barrel > those from 3.9" conventional. Smallest pistol I can get a substantial grip on (trigger finger not curled in half b/c reach is so short, all three fingers on grip, enough real estate left over for off hand palm support). Low maintenance. Consistent trigger. Accurate, reliable, durable, value priced.

The GLOCK G36.

Still no XD's...lol

I carry the SIG 220 "Carry". Much prefer its trigger and general ergos to a Glock.

 

[biscuitninja]

H&K USPc in .45 or you might think about a Sig .357 in the P2000. Anyways good luck

The P-220 is actually the only Sig that lives up to it's hype and is an excellent open carry duty type rig. If it needs to be concealed it's gotta be a G-36. I wouldn't even consider the G-21..................

Original question was asked 5 years ago. Let's hope he/she has figured it out by now.

you'll get lopsided answers for the sig here, go over to glocktalk and ask.

And do you think he will get a more objective answer over there?

 

[frogger42]

Basically, without the need for a double-strike capacity (i.e. external hammer verse striker fired), would you consider the Glock in .45 as reliable, durable and worthy as a SIG-Sauer?

I consider the Glock of equal quality to the Sig. However, the Glock (except the G36) in .45 are generally a fatter grip so take into account whether or not you can comfortably handle it. The Sig will fit a larger percentage of hands.

I just shot a Glock 30SF (slim frame) today -- liked it so much, I bought it.

 

[GDW]

After shooting 1911's for years I tried a G30 at the range. I liked it, so much that I purchased a G36 for CCW. I still have yet to put a lot of rounds down range with it and until I do I almost always carry a S&W 442. After I am completely confident in it I will carry it much more. The reason being: it shoots well and I don't care if it gets beat up. I was always a bit paranoid about my nice, 1911's getting dinged up. No so with the Glock. Plus it is so easy to dismantle. I have a Kimber Compact that's great, but it's a pain to have to hunt down a paper clip in order to break it down (small thing really, but still an aggravation). I have zero experience with a Sig, but would probably feel a bit paranoid about getting one of those dinged up too. But it is a stupid reason not to own what you prefer, and especially use, best.

SIG sauer DAK carry model P-220 .45acp

If you want the .45acp for duty/CC use; I strongly suggest the well made SIGsauer DAK model P-220 compact or maybe the P-220R(with rail) DAK model.
These hammer fired designs are safe compact and fire the .45acp.
The Glock 30 .45acp is good but depending on your skill level and use of handguns, I'd go with the SIGsauer P220 DAK.

PS: Good carry loads; Speer Gold Dot 200gr JHP, 230gr JHP +P, Remington Golden Saber 230gr JHP +P, bonded.

gwillis 6, nice reply to a six year old post!

[GRIZ22]

To my experienece either one would fulfill your requirements along witha lot of other pistols. Go with what you find more desirable. There are no absolutes when choosing between quality firearms. They all can do the job reliably and you need to decide what small features are most important to you.

 

[Ethics]

SIGs require too much maintenance. Go with the Glock 21.

I could have sworn that big rock was in front of the cave.

 

[wig]

H&K! Then you can avoid the argument and get something different!

 

[.357 magnum]

Should have done a Poll--

SIG all the way!

Have a Great Holiday!

PS-Take a look at the SW-MP it is another Excellent Pistol!

 

[PhillyGlocker]

Don't worry yourself. Get The Glock.

The End.

Glock.

I owned a Sig 226 and a 220 (9mm & 45). Both are very well built and accurate guns. The 226 was very accurate with the 220 slightly less. The one thing I did not like is the frame rail is very thin where the grip screw attaches. Also the 220 (45) would hang up if a firm grip or weak wrist hold was used. It never happened to me but 2 other people I let fire it had it happen every mag they fired.The glocks I own are a pair of 21's and a 17. I have never seen or had anyone or myself have a hang up of jam with any of my glocks or friends glocks. It's the AK of the handgun world. I had some light target loads given to me and my sig 220 would only single fire. This same ammo fired and functioned out of both of my glock 21's. One advantage the sig has is a true double action trigger. If you had a misfire you could pull the trigger again and hopefully make it fire. The glock has a spring tensioned striker. If you get a misfire you will have to rack the side by hand to re cock and clear it. It really comes down to personal choice,what feels best and what you can shoot the best. I will stick to my 1911's and glocks for carry.

I successfully concealed a full-sized P220 for the couple of years in was my duty pistol. Keep in mind that the rear of the slide of ALL Glocks protrudes to the rear, with that big, blocky profile. I would rather hide a P220 than even a "baby" Glock, and yes, for a while, when a G22 was my duty pistol, I concealed both the G22 and a G27 at times. The P220 is narrower and less blocky than the Glocks.

I presently conceal SIG P229s. There was a bit of overlap, as I phased from the G22 to the P229; the P229, which is a bit wider than a P220, conceals better than any Glock, for me.

 

[Lobotomy Boy]

Unless you can carry openly, it's easier to conceal a compact gun than a full-sized gun. The easier it is to carry a gun, the more likely you are to carry it, and the more effective your gun will be. Given that, it's hard to find a .45 ACP autoloader that is a better combination of reliability and concealability than the Glock 30/36. I have a 36 and my wife has a 30. Each of us thinks we have the perfect carry gun. Since she's always right, I guess that means the 30 is the perfect carry gun.
