Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Anyone a sig fan?

Love my Sig P365XL hybrid - 365XL slide with 365 grip, it's my standard carry gun.

Also love my Glock 34 Gen 5 and will get a Gen 5 G17 as soon as they come back in stock.

They are both Teutonic; können wir nicht alle miteinander auskommen?

I've had three, an old west German 220, I let my brother talk me out of, and a couple of P229s in 40 caliber. The 229 that stayed is an old pre-rail model with the rounded trigger guard.

I've had a lot of service/carry guns but nothing I liked better. I shoot these as well as any pistol I've ever owned.

I didn't mention the G word...

But so many Glock threads become threads about how some don't like them.

Do you still have the factory mainspring? Sigs are over-sprung from the factory. I have a older 220 and ended up switching the trigger out for the slimmer version, added SRT, replaced the main spring to 18#, added G10 grips, etc. All my Sigs after that don’t even go to the range before all that is done. The 18# spring makes the DA really manageable.

I have a 365 currently and an 320 xcarry incoming...

+1 and I don't see where you have any issue to be concerned about. Love the 220 S pictured. I enjoy my 226 stainless Elite. Question for you Sig 226 owners....what holster do you like and specifically what shoulder holster?

I currently am using a Galco pancake holster because my 226 would not fit in the Galco vertical shoulder holster. I really tried to make my 226 Elite fit but it was just too tight.

In a SIG thread it always comes back to a glock boy posting something negative out of their own insecurity that something might supplant their object of worship. A glock is a lot of things but not as accurate in my hands as my P365 or P320X carry. I like the G19, the G17, the G20 guns, but the little glocks don't hold a candle to the little sigs. The P320X about the same size as a G19, and with a hell of a good trigger, much more accurate than any box/stock G19 I have ever owned.
I won't get rid of my glocks, there are a lot of aftermarket parts and they are a decent close range blaster, but the newer SIGs are gonna give them a good run for their money. Sorry Glock boy's the world has changed since Gaston first introduced his innovative pistol. Bore hole axis be damned I shoot the SIGS better!

Not compared to the extent to which threads about Glocks become threads about how Sigs are better and Glocks suck.

And I generally don't talk about Sigs without mentioning that I have two Sigs currently, like them a great deal, and keep one of them loaded (the AR), not to mention how I've owned several others, and think they are all well built and reliable, even the ones I chose to sell due to a combination of two issues, i.e., ridiculously high bore axis and not liking the transition from double to single action.

Glocks don't suck they are just not the best choice anymore.

I personally would amend this to "Glock doesn't suck, but it is not the ONLY good choice in today's handgun market." There are lots of very capable high quality handguns to choose from today and some of them have qualities that make them a better choice than Glock for many users.

Well I found that pic I was talking about in post 5 or so
1st group, 5 shot, 25 yard, standing
I just packed up and left lol

I would agree. Plus it's getting harder to sell "Perfection v.5" and then "Perfection v.6" etc.

Thank you.

I have a Sig P365, P320 X-Full and X-Carry, a S&W M&P 2.0 FDE 5" and 4" Compact model, and a Glock 34 and 19.

All of them are excellent pistols in their own right and while any one of those may do something better than the others - nothing can match the Sigs for sheer accuracy, after trying them all and giving them a fair and objective evaluation the Glocks met more of my personal criteria than the Sigs or Smiths. Which kind of surprised me since I never liked Glocks until I bought one. But the Sig P365 still met the criteria for a specific use better than anything else.

"Mine's better'n yours" is the rallying cry of those whose only sense of self worth comes from their possessions. "What's the best..." is an open question without defining the criteria to determine the answer, and a question too often asked by those too inexperienced or perhaps too lazy to decide for themselves. Each person needs to determine their own needs and get whatever meets those.



Just an old story which y'all can skip if you want. I knew a guy back in the 70's that wanted 'The Best" (with heavenly choir and fanfare of trumpets in the background) of something. So he got what many people considered The BEST and he was happy as a clam. Then someone else got something else and he asked us, "is that better than mine?", and the answer was, "well, it does do this one specific thing better than yours". And just like that, he hated his purchase. It wasn't The BEST. Lots of folks are like that.

P225A, 226, 229, 227SAS.

Now that's a Sig I could like.

SIG 938. Tiny “carry” gun. Shoots really well with good power. Little heavy trigger.

Yep, another one I could like. I have the Sig P238, which is essentially the same gun scaled down for .380 ACP. Neat, well made, little weapon. Only reason I don't carry it anymore is that I got it as a back up to my 1911 back when I carried 1911s, but since I no longer train on a 1911 (Glock guy now), I wouldn't want to carry a gun with a manual safety.

220 and 228 on hand. I had a 230 and 239 but moved them down the road.

About to be a bigger Sig fan, have a 357 Sig barrel and a couple bags of Sig brass on the way for my P226 40 cal, this will be a fun conversion, I need a set of 357 Sig reloading dies, think I best look into a Lee FCD too.

I would like to try a 357 sig at some point
