Who is trolling?

I had a G22 for a while and loved it...straight shooter. Traded it in on another gun and recently picked up an XDM in .40, and love it as well. It's damn accurate. I'm currently debating for CC picking up either a G23 or a 229 (was considering the 250...really liked the trigger but long reset worried me, and I hear they're coming out with a shorter reset). Both the 23 and the 229 are solid guns, but in shooting the 229 I didn't like the trigger pull as much...I can also get the 23 for $399 new, vs. what? ~$800 for the 229? I think all three (Glock, Springfield and Sig) make a fine weapon...ultimately it's all about the shooter anyway.

If you are paying $800 for a P229 you are shopping in the wrong place.

Rella, that might be a little off as I was going off of memory...but it was significantly more than $400. What would you say is an obtainable price for a new 229?

I agree that the Glock is cheaper....
Around $700 is right if you are patient and look around. Sig has used MAP pricing to protect/prop up a lot of Sigsignifigant dealers.

The only firearms SA inc. actually make are the EMP and the Professional, and those are made from IMBEL forgings as well. If you have a SA 1911 you can remove your right grip panel and it will say "MADE IN BRAZIL".

I like both Glocks and Sigs but as of late the Glock has been my goto firearm.

The OP. Everyone knows a thread like this is going to cause trouble.

it's all just people's opinions, folks. lets not get bent out of shape. some like glock & some like sigs. as long as you like what you have, that's all that matters.

Nevertheless, there have been six pages of good-natured banter without obvious 'blood in the streets' as a result of discussing this topic.

That's because their SIGs are broken.

I think Glocks outsell Sigs around 15:1
Of course there are going to be more reported failures with them.

Not really unless you let your ego get wrapped up in the guns you own/carry.
If you treat them as they should be treated as simple tools such conversations are meaningless beyond the fun of having them.

Hey,
Somebody name me a department or agency that went to SA XDs. Somebody posted that there were departments buying Springfiled XDs. Who are they?
Somebody name a department that went from Glocks to Sigs? Just one? Hundreds have gone from Sig to Glock. Remember the FBI? Lousiana State Police? Henrico country, VA? must be a couple of hundred more.
What does that prove? A whole bunch of professionals in professional positions finally saw the light and got tired of constant intermittant problems with Sigs that do not occur in Glock.
Does that prove anything in light of this thread? Probably not because I don't recognize any real professionals posting on this thread except for Rellascout.
This may not sound high road but there is a lot of BS posted from chest-thumpers that don't have a clue what they post about.

glock certainly does have intermittent probs, but they keep it quiet.

DO you know anything about Govt contracting? Have you ever sold anything to the Govt or been involved in purchasing things for the Govt.
Lowest bidder wins. It has nothing to do with quality. It has everything to do with price.
PS if you read the post it is Springfield who claims to have sold to the Govt. No one else is making that claim.

Why aren't all Govt agencies using High Points if price is the only thing that matters?

There are minimum requirements. That is why. Are you really going to lower the discussion with crap like that?
How did Beretta win the M9 contract. They did not win because they had superior gun to Sig. They won because they had a cheaper gun that meet the min spec.

How could I possibly lower this discussion? I understand how Govt bidding works. I work for a company that bids on Govt contracts (not firearms). It does have something to do with quality, it is just not only about quality.
