Choices

[Hector Heco]

I've been beating myself up this last week on which to pick up. I'm loving the Sig p320 compact and the glock 19 gen 4. I can get them both for the same price but cant make up mind. I love them both. If you have 1 or both please share your thoughts. Thanks for the advice

Alright, I have a few sigs and the 227 is hands down my absolute favorite handgun I own. I have the 320, and it's a great gun. They have had some issues regarding firing when dropped lately but they have offered upgrades.

I do not have the 19, but it's on my list. I have a 17 and before the 227 that was my favorite gun. Its shoots great, its comfortable, and mags and upgrades are plenty.

Have you gotten a chance to shoot either one? Or spend some good range time with one? If at all possible do so, that should clear up any questions you have. Or go with my advice, but both.

I have a Glock 23 gen 4 which is exactly the same as the 19 gen 4 except for caliber. I do however have a conversion bbl to make it 9mm (effectively a 19). I'm partial to it. Some people hate the finger grooves but It fits my hand great and the grooves don't affect that. I did get the chance to fire a Sig (I forget the model) and it wasn't for me at the time.
I don't think you will go wrong with either. Have you had the opportunity to shoot either of them?

What is the weight factor of each?
I carry a G19. Fits me perfect and the weight isn’t really tugging at my pants. I also USE to carry a G30s which is a 45. That little extra weight I didn’t like

 

[cgrutt]

What will you be using it for? I don't have a 320 but I have other Sigs. I do have a G19 (but prefer G23 due to caliber). Both are good guns I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I believe both are very similar to each other. Glock has an integrated trigger safety in addition to striker safety and disconnect (drop safety). Try them out (or at least handle them) and see how they feel.

I've shot the g17 before it was good. I felt the 19 which felt good in the hands. Havent felt or shot the 320 but shot a Sig during a live fire course just not sure which 1 it was.

Personally I find my 320 do e sent firsthand well but smooth gentle and accurate.

Hold each one in your hand and let ergonomics (fit) decide.

Going to pass by the store today hold them both and try to come to a conclusion. I like that the Sig comes ready but I do like that you can customize the glock

As mentioned above it comes down to what feels more comfortable in your hand. Me, I'm a big Glock guy and on several. The 19 is my favorite and I even want to buy another one.

 

[Marine Cpl]

If aftermarket support is an issue to you, Glock has more locally. You are more likely to find holsters, magazines, and accessories locally when things first come out with a Glock than you will with a Sig.

But since the army has adopted it, it's only a matter of time before it catches up.

With that said, with a Sig 320 however, you can buy a replacement frame for 40 bucks and experiment stippling it, painting it, or just getting a new one if you just feel like it to freshen it up without a background check since the frame isn't serialized.

I think I've decided the G19 will be my next purchase as well. I like the feel of it and the idea of a relatively cheap and plentiful after market and spare parts. I actually didn't love the feel of a p320 in my hand, to me it felt cheap and plastic.

The similar guns I really like that i was not expecting were the Walther PPQ and beretta APX. I loved them both and one of them will be my next choice (after a G19).

I wouldn't rule out a CZ p10c either.

So just left a store to hold them both in hand. The gen 4 wasnt good for me cause of the finger grooves but the 26 felt good. The 320 trigger felt nice and smooth from dry firing it. The compact feel good but the sub compact felt better. I love the rail on the compact tho.

So what are you leaning towards?

I've never held the sub 320 but I can tell you if you go the Glock 26 route, it is ankle carryable with the flush magazine and no pinky extension. I have done so numerous times when wearing dress clothes. The grip is a little shorter I think compared to the subcompact 320.

I did like that trigger on the Sig. If I went with the Sig it wouldn't be the sub tho just the reg compact

I will be getting a Glock 19 myself soon.
I already have a Walther PPQ.
My choice of the Glock 19 is due to its ubiquity, simplicity, abundance of cheap replacement parts and aftermarket items and the wide availability of reasonably priced magazines.
Also it seems to me that the G19 is the trimest, slimest, most concealable compact pistol on the market right now and that was a big factor in my decision too.

Since I live in PA the availability of the 33rd happy sticks was a plus too

You mirrored my thoughts as well

I'm a Glock guy through and through but I really like the fact that with the Sig you can change it from a compact to a subcompact for just a few bucks. Those frames are so cheap that you can even dremel or stipple them and play with them to fit your hand better like some guys do with their Glocks. Those frames are basically disposable. You fuck it up just buy another one.

 

[togmaster]

Check out the 320 x-carry. It has the same sights as my Legion. In my opinion the best carry sights out there.

No I thought the same thing. When I was in the store they explained to me. If you have a subcompact you can switch frame colors in the subcompact or from 9 to 40 because of the barrel size

So today I went to Blueline tactical in Elmsford. I was able to rent both the Sig and Glock so finally made up mind and will be going to purchase the Sig on Friday.

That's the way to do it!
What were the factors in your decision?

 

[Hector Heco]

It felt comfortable in the hands. Very light eith recoil. Not taking away from the glock cause I shot it good just the sig was alot more comfy
