oh come now, shoot both and say that. not a fan of those Nerf 2.0 guns. glocks are cheap tools, Sigs are Snap on!Sig fanboys are going to love it.
Why buy a Glock when you can pay nearly double for the same thing from Sig?
New "Micro-Compact" SIG Sauer P365 in 9mm
I just wanna hold one since I really like the way my Shield sits in my hand but I don't think I'd wanna go much smaller and that grip looks pretty tiny. Really the only concern I have is if the mag geometry is compromised for feeding reliability. Other than that I don't see why this wouldn't be a big winner, being smaller than traditional double stack subcompacts but with the same capacity. Particularly in NY. You better believe I'd be rockin' the 12 rounder as the backup mag though.
Well...already have the LC9s and Glock 43. So, I guess I'll have to pick up a Sig P365 so that I can stack them up and take a picture.

You one said magazine capacity didn't bother you and it was a NY thing.
Sig's are notorious for requiring a "break in" period with regard to loading issues. I've not had that problem with my two Sig's but I know my nephew did. After a few hundred rounds no problems at all and it (problem loading) was only with HP's anyways.
My Glock 26 "used to be" my Go-To... Shot it the best, carried it always. Love the KKM barrel I have, tightened my groups just a bit, lol. And honestly, I'd love one of those 100 rounders
That all said, the Glock was never "FUN" to shoot and is currently relegated to occupying a strategic place in my house should the call ever come to need it. My Sig's rule the Glocks, they're more fun to shoot and because "not" polymer causes less wear on my hand (shooting) lol, and they look 10x better than those little black boxes IMO.
I think Sig did this to move interest away from the 938 which has had its share of issues... The 238 (.380) didn't experience those issues and is one of the Sig's I own.
As for stress-body-reaction, it's not muscle memory, but "gross motor" skills which is retained, fine motor skills are lost. Both are regarded as muscle memory but there is a difference and it is certainly good practice to shoot what you'll carry and an excellent discussion topic. I carry different firearms depending upon occasion and dress. I shoot all, and I'm proficient and confident in all. So adding another to the mix doesn't worry me, evenwith different safeties and such. Other than adding that caliber if it's different to my expense when shooting cause now I'll have to buy more ammo of a different type. Sights don't matter because they can be changed to your liking.
Honestly I don't think you lose either way, Glock or Sig, both have merits in their own right, cost isn't an issue to me more than fit/function. Discussion better/best is like discussing calibers... Just lol

As in restricted capacity? Yes it's largely irrelevant to me but I can't mention a nice salient point that is relevant to most of you?You one said magazine capacity didn't bother you and it was a NY thing.
That was the point of my post: The 10 round nominal capacity is nice for NYers and the 12 round extended capacity is nice for those of us in unrestricted states, as a backup mag.

I mean one time I said I would not compromise on carrying something like a Shield or a Glock because of capacity and you said that it didn't concern you much and us people from worry about those things out something to that effect.
Well extra rounds are always better BUT, I don't often carry my Walther because it doesn't conceal well for me, this in a pistol with a similar footprint as a G19. I do carry the Shield though because it tucks IWB without even me needing to go up in pants size and it's totally invisible and I forget it's there. That's why the P365 interests me because I can get those extra rounds in pretty much the same package as my Shield.
Yes I need to find a holster that works for my PPQ, I know. Options for the Walther are frustratingly spare. I'm looking at DARA holsters at the moment, I also need a new belt and they have some nice package deals.
Get a PPS?
I chose the Shield over the PPS. PPS is nice though. But the PPS gains me nothing over the Shield, in fact it incurres a -1 round penalty.
Better takedown.
How you figure? Even if so the the Shield takedown, and polymer striker guns in general, is so simple any minor differences are irrelevant.Better takedown.
It has the Glock style takedown. No levers to flip.
I prefer the takedown lever actually, more positive. The PPQ, as you prolly know, uses a similar setup as the Glock, with the tab you pull down. Sometimes it gets hung up if the slide is not quite in battery when manipulated. With the lever I just lock the slide back, flip the lever, unlock the slide, pull trigger and off the slide comes. I also like the action when flipping it back up, it pleasingly positive.
It's not supposed to be in battery. You are supposed to pull the slide slightly back.
I like the lever better. Thbbbbbbbtttttt.

Updates......
So it looks like Sig is also going to be offering an upgraded grip module that has an integrated, grip activated 100 lumens light for this.

I like the look of that grip. I'm not interested in the light or laser but I'm sure it is removable.
Or just get the nonlight version
Agreed. I really like the idea of surefire's DG switch but it makes getting a high grip (especially if you go and do double undercuts on a glock) which negates the undercuts
I like the concept of them just not any of the applications

I like the gun, no use for the light thingy, but I am looking into the gun.

this has promise .. look forward to see if it fits my hand. Im not a fan of how the light attaches and wouldn't mind seeing a green lazer

Lots of reports from all over Concealed Carry Weapons • r/CCW and elsewhere... AVOID THIS GUN FOR NOW unless you like being a beta-tester.
Between issues of firing pin breakage to improper fitting of barrel causing premature wear -
It might only be a few isolated cases but it isn't looking good.
