Why do people now think Sig is better than Glock?

[OneBadV8]

I can't help it. That's the sweetest handgun that I don't have... yet.

Damn, I'm so predictable!

Why do I see alot of Glock haters latley swearing that Sig is better?I don't own either one.I have always heard Glock is the most reliable handgun in the world.It would be nice to hear some opinions.

Sig paid the producers of NCIS to mention Sig, Sig Saur, and 357 sig four or five times in every episode.

I picked mine up. There is still another one at H & H waiting for a new home!

Dude, for years I was a 1911 fan of the early 80's, then a Smith and Wesson model of the month member in the late 80's, then came GLOCK, and I have never looked back. However, I do own a Sig P226 and if I didnt have a Glock (or two) thats definatly what I would carry. Nothing wrong with a Sig, but the Glock is just better overall.

As an interesting side note--there were, I believe (rhino can correct me if I'm wrong) two or three Berettas--and ALL of them broke over the course of two days of shooting.

One of them was broken while it was in the guy's holster before we fired the first shots. He was in line next to me and we discovered it when doing the drill where the other guy cycles the slide so the shooter feel where the trigger reset.

As Mr. Farnam noted, reliability/function are and never were a problem with Berettas. Durability was and continues to be a problem though.

The one Beretta that did not break was the gun used by one of the instructors (Glock21 on here) on one of the two days.

I think more people are tired of the Glock-hater hype...

Ever notice how it's always gun-X vs Glock?

And there it is. Calling people "Glock-hater" for daring to compare their beloved Glock with another handgun.

Always Gun-X vs Glock? Sure. Except for when it's Ruger/S&W, Taurus/Beretta, M1911/M9, Colt/S&W, HK/Sig, DPMS/Olympic, FN/Browning, or any of the other makers discussed.

I have never owned a Glock, but did own one SIG. I found it way to big for my grip and it was like holding a small tree in my hand, not very comfortable. Traded it for a PPS 9mm and love it...

I didn't call anyone a glock hater for "daring to compare" anything, you can't deny the fact that some on this board will hate as soon as any thread about a Glock is posted. It's not a myth, it's an indisputable fact.

laugh all you want, those threads are rare as ammo at walmart.

There are also people on this board that will jump all over someone who says anything bad about Glock.


P.S. Remember the vast majority of the "hating" is just good natured ribbing for the sake of humor.

My tip is, buy what you like! But for the guys that say: "I wouldn't ever own a Glock"! Think about it a little! Unless you aren't a serious firearm person! I like them all, but always go back to the Sig and Glock! All the best for all of you and your families shooter@5(4)life!

Don't you think those of us that fit that category have thought about it and looked into it and came out of it with that conclusion. While I really can't speak for anyone else it was researching and and trying glocks that made me say I would never own one. I've said before that at one time I really wanted to like them. It is not as simple as "glock hating." Do you not want to admit the possibility that some of us gave glock a fare shake and found it lacking?

 

[ChalupaCabras]

I can see both sides of the issue.

I like the Glock for its utter simplicity. The manual of arms is as simple as possible for a handgun. The reason I like that is because it speeds up training and allows you to become proficient very quickly.

On the other hand, I appreciate the decock feature of the Sigs. It really does come in handy sometimes.

If i had to pick between them though, I would choose the CZ.

That does remind me that I have never heard of a single Sig blowing up...

Hmm. That is interesting. I'm sure someone will be along shortly with a picture.
