And that does make a difference when it comes to daily carry. People seem to prefer the P226 for competition shooting, and I think that’s a pretty good indicator that the SIG has a leg up, even if it’s just a slight one. The Glock 17 is also considered very accurate, but I think the P226 wins this one by a narrow margin since at greater distances than 15 yards they often seem to have a slight upper hand due to their construction and superior sights. Assuming evenly matched and competent shooters, I think the P226 is marginally more accurate with its slightly longer barrel and larger sight radius. This isn’t exactly a fair comparison point, not because one gun is better than the other, but this is very subjective and depends on the shooter. That and there are still those who consider lightweight polymer guns to be “plastic toys.” Polymer guns are certainly not plastic, and their durability, especially of Glocks really cannot be argued, but if you’re used to the weight and feel of an all-metal gun, the Glock can really seem like a child’s plaything.
Sure, there are those who might think that the lean, utilitarian and generally considered ugly Glock is beautiful in its own stark way, but myself and most people I’ve ever spoken to, or read about their opinions agree that the more classical 1911 inspired look of the P226 is much more aesthetically pleasing. Yes, there are those that this category is important to. Still, this might help you understand some of these gun’s differences: 13-Point Gun Comparison 1) Appearance: SIG After all, I do own and use both of them! I’ll admit that when people ask which one is better, it is almost as if I’m being asked to choose my favorite between two beloved sons. So this article will examine thirteen points of comparison and utilizing my experience of owning and shooting both the pistols for over a decade now, I’ll try my best to give you my fair and balanced opinion of which gun is strong in which category, since I’ll already reveal that I personally think they are both equally great guns. Finding the right gun for you depends on your own unique physical build, needs, uses, tastes and preferences.
As I often state, with most well-made similar guns, there are rarely any that everyone 100% agrees are considered better than the other. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses and each have a rabid fan base. When comparing two popular 9mm weapons like the Gen 3 Glock 17 and Sig Sauer P226, it truly is like comparing apples and apples. This is our Sig Sauer P226 vs Glock 17 handgun review.
#Sig 9mm vs glock 9mm manual#
Both have no manual safeties and are superb weapons, both come from companies that are extremely popular with law enforcement and militaries worldwide, and both are suitable weapons for self-defense, home-defense, competition shooting and open carry or over-the-waistband concealed carry. The Gen 3 Glock is a polymer frame locked-breech, double stacked, 17+1 round capacity 9mm with no external hammer.
