If a "serious social situation" should arise, ie home invasion , I'm not completely sure which one I would grab.
I shoot the 19911 better than the SIG.
But the idea of 18 rounds vs 9 is worth pondering also.
Obviously its all conjecture until something happens, but, if I had to choose one now, I think I'd grab the SIG.
How about you?


Grab the one you train with the most.

I have no idea how much you train, but those two pistols have some significant differences in the manual of arms. Under stress, it might be best to grab the one you have built muscle memory with.

If you train a lot with both, it likely doesn't matter.
