Here in North Alabama Sig pistols aren't looked on very highly. They are top of the line guns, easy to work on, easy to fire. The only drawback I have is the shape of the grips, hard to get a really high hold with the thumbs high like on a 1911. I have the P220, P225, P226, P228 and P229. For the 40 S&W's I have 357 Sig barrels. I consider the Sigs to be the best guns I have. Why have they not caught on any better then they have?
I guess I need to disagree with the prone to rust thing.
The reason is I have a half a dozen sigs right now and have never had any kind of rust. I don't get it. I've carried sigs in all kinds of weather and sweat and just have never had a problem with rust. :wavey:
I don't get how some guys are saying that sigs are bulky. I own two sigs and USE to own a glock 19 gen3(sold is because I just didn't like how it felt in my hand) but when I did have the glock, I compared the 19 and sig226 and glock19 is a lot thicker than the sig. Especially too thick for something glock calls a compact
The DA is really not that bad at all. Try out a CZ P01 DA pull and get back to me on how Sigs have bad DA trigger pulls. I only own CZ but my cousin's Sig 229 is pretty cool.
I recently did a check on the popularity of Sig vs Glock in my area by going to Armslist, check the box for "want to buy, WTB" tab and putting in the search engine "Sig Sauer" and then "Glock".
I found in my area one person wanting to buy a Sig Sauer 220 and that was it. On the Glock search I had three pages of people looking for used Glocks.
I think the original premise of this thread is accurate at least in my area.
My P239 cost me less than my Glocks, and it's been carried more. It's not bulky at all, nor heavy. It's great for IWB carry, and packs a good punch. It's been extremely reliable. It shows no signs of rust, and it's been carried in my waistband a lot.
The P220 thin, and very reliable. One of the best service .45's out there.
I had a chance to shoot a new P227 a few days ago, along with a brand new P224 and a 938. I will certainly be picking up a 224, and probably eventually a 227. I have nothing but respect for my Sigs. I own quite a few, and carry regularly.
Living in Vegas, I walked into my LGS 10 years ago with a wad of winnings in pursuit of my first handgun. I spent an hour and a half with my salesman (I had shot 6+ handguns I thought I wanted previously), when I felt my Sig Sauer I knew I had found my one...because of my one, there are many. I share with my daughter, friends, coworkers, and new shooters.....they ALL love the Sig.
My daughter has expensive taste...but it is the one gun she will never sell when I am gone. I trust the Sig in that regard.
Ive never had any of mine rust. And the whole "high bore axis" does not mean much. I shoot 357sig and my high axis sig 226/229 shoots much softer than my glock 31/32/33.
I owned my W. Germany Sig P226 for 26 years. High quality firearm and will not give it up. But since this year brought 2 Glocks and are just as reliable as my Sig. If the price was equal I would a brought another Sig.
