Sig SAOs vs Glock

[graycrait]

One of my friends is on an extended vacation and gave me 3 Sig 220 SAOs and 1 X-Five Tactical SAO to shoot. The 220s were fun and comfortable. But when I got to the X-Five - Wow! It shot easier than the 3 9mm 1911s I have had and (I shudder when I say this) allowed me to shoot faster with more accuracy than my Glock 17L. Like the 17L the X-Five is too large for practical purposes other than a house gun but now I am thinking I have to try a 226.

Anyone have 226's then went back to G19s for carry?

I have shot them. I yearn for one. Just can't afford it. SAO Sig's are the business. I love the grip angle and recoil.

RIA does have a 9mm commander in 1911 platform. I will have one of those.

Got to try one of the X-Fives at the range one day. Out of eight shots, hit five bulls, and three 9's at 21 feet. Sweet, sweet gun.

kesava, Don't hesitate on the RIA 9mm. I have shot three, and owned two, all worked great and were a lot of fun. I got a near NIB 17L for one of my RIA 5" 9mm 1911s right on the range.

I love my Glocks, and I also have a 17L. Also have a few SIG's, and honestly I love them too. A 226 of one flavor or another is high on my list of Gotta Have Guns. An X5 would be awesome.

I just like Glock's fewer parts and less springs and simplicity . Detail stripping a Sig would scare me . But I still would love to have a P220 in .45ACP .

Had SAO220 for a while. Still have the Glock 19. Lighter, more capacity, trigger just right

Guys, I have 1911s but I also have 2 Sig P220 SAOs, a Carry and a Compact Elite. Sig P220 SAO have great triggers. They are accurate and reliable anyway but the single action trigger just makes it even sweeter.

I have a Sig X5 L1. It is absolutely a fantastic shooter. The only other gun that I have shot that I think is better is my Nighthawk Custom Talon FLX 2011. I can grip the Nighthawk a little better than the Sig.

I am new to the Glock ranks, but have been a Sig advocate for years...... until I bought my G19. I don't know that I will ever carry my 228 again.
