[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3838512, member: 24531"] A Sig pistol is an art piece like a well-made 1911. It is a Mercedes Benz and Glock is a Chevy pickup. The Mercedes might be better in almost every way, except reliability to stake your life on. If the maintenance is done on the Benz/Sig, it will be a great EDC or service gun so I'm not bashing Sig. But if you are on a budget, and you want something that will go bang with any ammo regardless of conditions, then the Glock is the right choice. I would rank a P226 higher over a G17 except if I (hypothetically) had to go into the woods for 5yrs with no gun oil. If I couldn't allocate funds for both, I would weight reliability as the highest priority and choose Glock. I'd take it a step further and say only a Glock chambered in 9mm is the most proven of the Glock offerings. It would be interesting to see a G21 vs P220 torture test. People always say they would trust their life to direct impingement AR's, Sig pistols, 1911 pistols, etc...but they never account for the fact that those platforms rely on being clean & lubed to remain reliable. But I won't fault anyone who carries a P365 or something else that is comfortable. EDC of a clean gun is not the same as a worst case scenario, and Sig is certainly one of the more reliable platforms over some lesser brands. Sig rifles on the other hand, are the Glock of rifles...If Glock made a rifle, I would probably still choose a Sig rifle instead. How ironic. [/QUOTE]
