My impression based on what I hear from knowledgeable people is that a Glock is a durable, dependable weapon, but it is not in the same league as Sig. I haven't shot a Glock, but I own a Sig 239 and it is an excellent shooter, especially for a small gun.

ive shot both glocks and sigs a lot, and I hands down choose Sig as a carry gun and better pistol everytime, (have and still do carry Sig.)
More accurate hands down, more trigger options to fit the shooter, (DAO, SAO, DA/SA, SRT, and DAK)
Just as reliable if not more than glock, just as tough.

For me its Sig. I own 5 now. I have owned several Glocks and have really tried to like them, but I just don't.

Sig, or Glock? | SIG, hands down. I have been carrying a glock for many years and they are junk compared to a Sig!

Sigs are great guns, but I would prefer the glock. Assuming both guns fit my hands equally, I would go with the glock. The glock has a low bore axis and is a natural pointer. The glock has a tougher finish (Sigs are very well known for finish wear). The glocks last longer - The Sig frames have been known to crack after several thousand rounds (30K plus). The Glock is easier to field strip and clean (very light lubrication). The Glock has many more aftermarket parts and accessories. The Glock is not only more durable, but light and much more feasible to choose as a comfortable CCW weapon.
My personal opinion... I own and shoot both. I also own and shoot a Browning Hi-Power (probably the most underated pistol in the world after the flurry of the polymer bandwagon), Dan Wesson CBOB .45, Kimber Pro CDP II, Browning Pro-9, Colt King Cobra .357 stainless, Ed Brown Kobra Carry, etc...
As far as a conceal and carry weapon, I would trust my life to my Glock 23 anyday of the week. Even more than the Ed Brown, Kimber, and all the others. It is a no frills, absolute PRACTICAL weapon. Doesn't break the bank, don't worry about rust and corrosion, holster wear, and the gun not going "bang" when I need it the most.

I know of a lot more former Glock owners who carry a Sig than former Sig owners who carry a Glock. In my opinion, I think we will see Glock's popularity fade away in the future.

Sig is my personal favorite of all time. I have a p210 from the fifties and it is still the most accurate pistol I've ever used.

I have both a g-17&sig 226 navy both are 9mm& both are very good firearms,I have not gotten use to the grip&grip angle on the g-17,for me I do better with heavier sig,the grip&grip angle.Just my own personal experience I would go with the sig.

I have Sigs and GLOCKs, I think both the GLOCKs and Sigs are excellent arms.I have both in 9mm my Sigs are in caliber 9mm and .45ACP. If I were limited to the 9mm chambering I'd carry the GLOCK. My P6 is an outstanding arm it is exceedingly accurate and very comfortable to shoot. In other calibers I have cautioned away from the GLOCK. I want a fully supported chamber thus no .40S&W, .357Sig or .45ACP in a GLOCK for me. I had a GLOCK in .45ACP and the grip was too large for my average sized hands. If I were limited to .40S&W, .357Sig I'd opt for the SIG offerings. If the caliber was .45ACP the P220 is sweet but has a limited magazine capacity. I have become a fan of the SA XD series as they have fully supported chambers and are offered in 9, .357, .40 and .45.....

I haven't dropped any of my guns out of a helecopter yet. Call me silly but I'll test them by which one fires better and jams less not by which one can be frozen in a block of ice, lit on fire, run over by a truck or dropped out of an air plane.

The Glocks, like any other manufacturer, have had a few problems in the past. In the 80's and most of the 90's when Glock outsold any other polymer frame gun maker, naturally there are going to be more problems due to the fact that there so many guns sold relative to the competition. Many of those problems with the frames were traced to improper reloading. Granted, the .40 caliber had a few issues, but Glock has definitely worked the bugs out. The generation III Glocks have had no reports of any sort of problems at all with the frame cracking.
To each is own and similar to the Ford vs. Chevy debate. Glock revolutionized the polymer frame pistol market and all others are a clone, just as all other non-Colt 1911's are a clone. Doesn't mean clones cannot be excellent guns.....

Well honestly all of the test that glock has done and advertises was copied from sig. SIG actually developed and thought up the test and put it in place before their firearms were realeased. They don't advertise it. Glock caught on to the test and decided to advertise their pistols in the testing.
I have shot more glocks than i have sigs, I have tried to like glocks but had all of them jam on me. I own a sig and love it. If i had a choice of a Louisville slugger baseball bat or a glock I would take the baseball bat because I know it will work.

I own many different types of guns and shoot them all. I admire and respect all the different guns I own - in their own way. Each gun I own is extremely reliable or I get rid of it. Again, I'm not promoting Glock over Sig or HK or Springfield - I have either owned them or currently own them now.
It seems like there a lot of Glock haters on the web today. Hey, like I said, to each is own. I'm trying to speak unbiasely as possible. But, for someone to say Glock is junk is an extemely biased statement and I would bet that most folks who make this claim have never even shot a Glock.
There was a comment made about using a Louisville slugger as opposed to a Glock. Quite amusing... you better just hope the guy your getting ready to slug isn't carrying a Glock!
The only time I've seen a Glock jam was from a female at the range limp wristing the Glock.

I agree with Coltdog. There are a lot of Glock haters for some reason I do not understand. In my opinion Glock, Sig, and H&K are all three top of the line firearms. In fact I would rate them the top 3 combat handguns that are not 1911's. I honestly believe that the three are basically equal in quality. I own Glocks and a sig. Both are fine accurate guns that are ultimately reliable.
I have nothing bad to say about sig, but I will defend Glock from some of the comments made about them. As an NRA firearms instructor and former police firearms instructor I have seen a lot of people shoot Glocks. In my experience 99.99% of jams occurred due to limpwristing. In my own Glock 22 I have shot close to 10,000 rounds through it. I have experienced 2 jams. 1 was poorly seated reloaded ammo. The other I'm not sure why.

I also know John Benner of Tactical Defense Institute in Ohio who has a Glock 17 with over 60,000 rounds through it with no jams. Glock is excellent and so is sig. If both feel comfortable to you and you shoot both accurately, pick the Glock because it will cost less.

We have never had any problem with cracked frames or finish wear on sigs, and have sold literaly thousands of them. Both guns are very dependable. I personaly prefer the sig because when on the range I can get extremely good acurracy from them, making it more enjoyable to shoot. Also I just prefer metal to polymer, but thats just my personal choice...nothing wrong with polymer.
