I get that, but from my understanding Glocks are very customizable, and you can switch out frames while keeping the internals. The biggest deterrent for me with the sig vs glock is reliability.

As noted by others, your Glock frame has the serial number. The only way to swap that out would be to use an 80% frame or some other non-serialized approach.

The SIG 365 you can swap things out to your heart's content, since the serialize part is the fire control unit that slips onto the grip (which can be changed, and there are several options).

If you like the Glock, you are stuck with what Glock gives you for the most part. Sorry!

Welcome to GT. Remember you are shooting the gun, not sleeping with it. Comfortable is for shoes. Even on a range day, you'll only be holding the gun for mere minutes at a time. In a defensive situation, likely for just seconds. Is it reliable, and do you shoot it well, and will you carry it? Those are the questions to ask.

I think it was Clint Smith that said, "carrying a gun is not supposed to be comfortable; it's supposed to be comforting."

While there is some truth to that, it is also indisputable that a gun that fits well does shoot more accurately. You don't see Olympic shooters tolerating discomfort or fitting their body to a gun that is a bit off for their body. You don't see avid hikers wearing shoes with improper fit.

In reality, fit does matter. Comfort does matter. How much we prioritize it is the question. The question comes to sharp focus when we have to compromise a bit on comfort to get other functions we also value, and how much of one we trade off for another.

At that point you are compromising for something less than ideal, though! In an ideal world the gun desired (in this case, a Glock) would actually fit the hand better so there wasn't a want or need for a better ergonomic option!

To the CodeMonkey, was reliability your main reason for "going for the 43X"?

yes it was the primary reason. although I think the hellcat would also fit that bill.

I definitely will.

Shooting a pistol well is all about trigger pull, grip... front strap and backstrap, and front sight. Palm swells and ergonomic shapes are for people who hold guns not people who shoot them.
I don't believe a comfortable palm swell helps anything.

Had to double check myself, but that saying "carrying a gun is not supposed..." was from Col Jeff Cooper. Clint Smith may have browed it.

In the police academy we were told the same thing about body armor...it is not supposed to comfortable, it is supposed to be comforting.

I hafe both The 365 is great but the 43X is still my gotoo gun

I find the 43x trigger to be horrible. The 365 with a XL grip wins all day in my opinion.
