A Glock or a SIG Sauer

I purchased a P238 for my wife and I liked it so much I decided I'd buy one for myself. It will easily hide better than a lot of Glocks, but will cost you more than most Glocks as well. Due to the cost of the P238, I decided that a more affordable choice for me was the M&P 9Shield (that also has a safety) or a Glock 33. Don't get me wrong, I love my P238 and would probably carry it over the others if it only cost the same as those.

 

The Sig 1911's are nice.

 

G17 in truck, Keltec 380 in pocket.

 

GLOCK fanboy here so it ain't hard to guess what I'm recommending. Lol! However, the S&W Shield sure is a sweet little shooter! My Wife traded her Ruger .38 LCR in for a Shield in 9mm and I liked it so much, two weeks later I had one. ; ) Simply put, you cannot go wrong with any of the modern, big name brands BUT as far as I'm concerned, you guessed it, GLOCK is the premier weapon, chosen by many and for good reason.

 

Anybody have any knowledge or opinions on the tp9sf by Canik. I've read some great reviews on this semi and has one hell of a price point. Just looking, as I am amateur at best when it comes to the specifics of guns. Thanks

 

I know you probably don't want to hear this but you should really wait, save up about $100+ more and get a good quality gun. Just my .02.

 

Thanks for your .02. Was just curious.

 

Im currently debating between a Sig M11A1 and a Glock G19. That Sig is so nice but so expensive.

 

Pretty much just home defense. I would carry if I wasn't en route to my new duty station in CA. I have a G23 which has been great but shooting a 9mm is so much cheaper and easier for my wife to get used to. Honestly the Glock is everything I need, but that Sig is so sweet.

 

I can't stand Sig triggers. Many can't stand GLOCK triggers. The Sig has what is referred to as a crunch tick trigger, I don't do those anymore, the '90s are gone. The first pull is a long DA pull and the rest are single action. The GLOCK has a mushy trigger but has the same trigger pull all the time. The GLOCK has NO external controls other than the mag. release and slide lock. The Sig may be the same, I really don't know. The GLOCK is lighter so if you plan to carry it, it could make a difference. They both have the same standard capacity of 15 rounds however, if you like, the GLOCK can be loaded with 17 or 33 rnd. magazines for fun at the range or a Hollywood shoot-out scenario. The GLOCK is VERY easy to take down to each individual part. This might not mean much to you but it does to me because I do all my own detail cleaning (once a year) and the GLOCK is soooo easy to disassemble and reassemble. Yeah, I'm a GLOCK fanboy.

 

I'm pretty used to the DA/SA because of my M9, but I still prefer a consistent trigger. Ive heard Sig triggers are better than Beretta but I've never shot a Sig before. Darn, I guess Ill have to go to the range and try them all out

 

This is EXACTLY what my set-up is. GLOCK 19 for EDC and the 17 for bug-out. Both gen. 4 as the previous gens. didn't fit my hand.

 

Most new shooters tend to work better with single action triggers. No long travel to get your sights off center, fairly crisp break to the bang. Non 1911 Sigs, Glocks, Kahr (my other carry piece) and any other SA/DA trigger gives too much time and travel for newbie accuracy. Once you get the sequence locked in your head, moving on is fine. For me, I got tuned to 1911s in the 70s, and never found an equal. Cocked and locked is a bonus.

 

I just purchased my 1st i went with Ruger GP100 with 4"inch barrel. Going to purchase my second soon glad i came across this thread see what ppl have out there it did indeed made my choice harder

 

Absolutely LOVE my 1911. Best shooting handgun I've ever owned right out of the box! If mine had a 3" barrel that'd be my carry gun.

 

You're gonna love that GP100!

 

Looking for G19 now.

 

Shouldn't be hard to find, there's lots of 'em out there! And they're affordable too.

 

Lol I heard only good things about it main reason why I made the purchase. Just wish NJ laws were better

 

In my truck I carry a sccy 2 9mm but on my persons I always carry a kimber micro 380 stainless with rosewood handle kimber is amazing!

 

Kimber quality is hard to beat. Unless it's a custom Les Baer.

 

Ditto. Too rich for my blood too.

 

Maybe come bonus time in October I'll get ahold of a 5" 1911, probably one of the new Springfield Range Officer Operators. Quite a bit cheaper than the Kimber, $800 vs $1300.
