An interesting interview with Andy McNab in the Nov. 2011 issue of the American Rifleman. He was formerly with the SAS. Says they tested both the SIG pistol and the Glock for several years and decided the best choice was the SIG. Said the No.1 consideration is that the gun go "bang" every time even after lots of time and neglect in the jungles of SE Asia.
I've always heard good things about the SIG pistols but never thought or heard they rivaled the Glocks in reliability. So this was an eye opener for me. E
In every �test� or comparison that I�ve read, the Sig has been preferred over the Glock. There are some tests where it was reported that reliability was better in the Glock, some where reliability was better in the Sig, but for the most part, most just say that the reliability requirements were �met�. Once that requirement is met, it comes down to personal preference, and I tend to think most would prefer the Sig over the Glock since I�ve never seen a Glock outshoot a Sig; ever. For a small elite unit this is fine. For a very large military force, the Sig just doesn�t make a whole lot of sense in light of the clear advantage the Glock gives a military logistically.
