Glock 17 vs 9MM Sig vs 9mm XDm

[jason765]

I have my yearly bonus coming in a couple weeksand Im done procrastinating, Im getting my (and my wife's)LTCH and a new piece to carry. I have handled these 3 in LGS and Im leaning toward the XDm (not because this stupid add keeps flashing above the thread either) It just seems to fit my hand best. I have actually shot a Glock 17 and an XDm, but there is something about the Sig that keeps me looking at it. Im stuck on 9mm because I have a 9mm Ruger and C9 and have the ammo in surplus, and it is a very manageable round as far as recoil, target reaquisition, and the weight it adds to the weapon. Im sure some of you have fired all three, and I would like your opinions.

I'd just go with the one that is most comfortable in your hands. You can't really go wrong with any of the three.

I've owned 2 of the 3 and shot all 3. You cannot go wrong with any. Just pick which one you like the best, I would recommend running some rounds through them before deciding though. Holding a gun in the store is nothing like running rounds through one at a range.
Good luck and enjoy.

+2 above. Go with the one that fits your hand best. I own the Springfield and G17. Whatever you're comfortable handling, you'll intrinsically shoot better

The Sig is the only one I have not shot. I like the G17 but the XDm actually felt like an extension of my hand.

Have owned all 3, although not the "m" version. Personally, like the Springfield the best - comfortable, and I'm accurate with it. Glock has the possible advantages of parts availability. Like the Sig too. The "m" version of the XD adds some $$. Bottom line - get the one that feels best.

U can't go wrong with any of the three. I chose Glock because it reigns supreme with options, holsters, and aftermarket parts.

If you go with Sig, most mags cost $40 base price. Glock mags are significantly cheaper. Something to consider if you really can't find anything wrong with the firearms.

I am NOT that familiar with Sigs. Like the look and feel, never shot one.

We have a Glock 19 and have always found it reliable and accurate.

Got to shoot an XD a few weeks ago. LOVED the feel, especially compared to the 19. It was so much more balanced and felt better in the hand, both Wife and I thought so. We especially liked the two safeties!

That stated, neither of us found it as easy to point down range and strike the target as easily as the Glock 19.

I can count five 9mm Sig models off the top of my head before we even start talking polymer frame models. I reread the OP three times and it may be my reading comprehension but which model of Sig?

If you were talking some of the iconic models, then I would say no comparison - go with the Sig. If you are talking one of the newer polymer, then I would say it depends on the model. Which Sig? (I've never paid more than $25 for Sig mags for my 226 or 228.)

PS - My bedside gun is a Glock 17 and, while I dislike standard XDs, I like the XDm's a lot.

Take a look at the Glock 19 and maybe even the 26; I have love and am carrying a G17 right now, but it can be difficult to conceal on warmer days; depending upon which Ruger you have that can be a big deal down the road, I've got a G27 for summer carry. Honestly all are good packages, get what you shoot the best or is most comfortable to you.

Own and carry a Glock 19 (Gen 4) -I'm left handed and wanted to switch the mag. release. I've owned and shot M&P (not on your list) but have settled on the Glock. It just fits me better. I really liked the XD but for some reason I shot the Glock better.

Like most you can't really go wrong with any of the them. Get the one that fits you best.

Good luck!!

I prefer SIGs, in particular the P228. Of course I'm biased, having a couple of them.

 

[dondavis3]

I own all three.

I like all three.

But a Sig is a notch above the others in my opinion.

Here's my Sig P226 Swiss Police Trade in in 9mm.

I bought it for $375 - it was in rough shape.

I sent the slide to CCR for a $79 refinish, added Hogue Aluminum grips.

It is a tack driver.

Very good shooting gun.

Howdy, did you buy the XDm? I'm thinking about buying one and just wanted to know how it turned out for you. Thanks
