Looking for New Pistol, Sig?

[kennedy]

I'm looking to get a new pistol. I've been looking at the Sig P320. I'm looking for something pretty nice and possibly starting shooting some competitions. I've also thought about a Glock 19 and doing lots of work to it too get it up to that level. What are your suggestions and experience?

The 226 X5 is top 5 of most accurate pistols I've ever shot.
They come real close to match ready straight from the box too.

If you're looking for a competitive pistol, 5" barrels are king for most divisions.

I have both, competed with both and carry both. I'll have both forever. I couldn't give you a clear number 1 with either honestly. Gen 5 19 MOS and P320 X-Carry.

If you're into pimping it out, Glock wins in the aftermarket department with the P320 coming in a close 2nd. I prefer the metal mags of the Sig, but I prefer the trigger and especially the trigger reset of the Glock.

Both have eaten every crap piece of ammo I could find and throw at it. Neither took any break in period either. Accuracy goes to the 19 by a slim margin and I contribute that to the Gen 5 Marksman barrel.

I'd recommend a Gen 3 or Gen 5 Glock over the 4 and I'd recommend the X-Carry grip module on the Sig.

Inquiring minds want to know, what is it about the Gen 4 that’s a problem?

Thanks for the input. What about the Sig Legions?

 

[kennedy]

also, does either of yours have the optic cutout?

Depending on the particular discipline, CZ is one of the most popular manufacturers in competitions. They are generally very accurate and reliable out of the box, although some do like a little break in period.

I'm no competition shooter but I really dig my P226 Legion and have been resisting a P320 X5, it sounds like that one has a few features that make it pretty well competition ready.

It would help to know what division you want to compete in.
To be honest, Sig isn't very big in the competition circuit. High bore axis and not a lot of aftermarket support.
CZ is HUGE for production division.
STI/SVI are top dogs in Limited and open division with CZ and Tanfoglio coming in close behind.
Glocks/M&P's can go for any of them depending how you want the gun set up, but unless you can run them like a professional, you'll be behind the curve.

Both do. I have the MOS 19 and the P320 has a Norsso slide cut for an RMR. I don't care for the Romeo 1, so it was either mill my P320SC slide or get an aftermarket one.

Both of those look very nice.

I need to research it more as it is all brand new to me to be honest
