So I finally got to shoot my sig 2022 this weekend, along with my g30s. I can honestly say I shot the glock much better.
So this leads me to my question. I use the 2022 for home defense/play, I'll never carry it, that's what the 30s is for. I really like the looks of the g17, and I feel like I should shoot it better. Would I be wise to swap for a used/new g17 or practice more with the sig? Eta: the 2022 is fde 9mm w/siglites. Thanks in advance for the input |

Split the difference and get a G19 maybe? Not much larger than a G30S and more than capable of filling all the roles you're looking at now.

The 2022 is a great gun, but if it's not for you it's not for you. I'd probably buy one if I didn't already have a couple 226s and a 228.
I really like my G17 though, so I won't talk you out of it. But yes, try a 19 also. |

I do not like XD or Beretta M9/92 pistols they are good guns but I do not like them. But then again for some going from a striker to a DA/SA hammer fired gun is not as easy to make the transition. You may need to get behind the Sig more and really shoot it they are different pistols. |

I had a 19 and decided to get a 226 because everyone said they were great.
It was cool, but I didn't like it. Sold it and bought a glock 17. Many told me I'm an idiot, which might be so, but I'm still happy I sold it and bought a 17. |

Oh yeah, the 30 series uses that big baseplate mag, doesn't it? That would make it actually smaller since the G19 is thinner than the 30s. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The SP2022 is not a bad gun, but people aren't flocking to them in droves because of the wonderful ergonomics and leveraging their significant advantages in competition.
I say get rid of it and get a G17. |

I love my Sig's but the 2022 is not on par with the P226/P229 with SRT trigger |

If you're a glock guy, you're a glock guy ............ get the G17.

I'm not a Glock guy. But I love my G26. Everyone is going to get sick of me saying it. Anyways.. Point being, if you liked a Glock better, I wouldn't fight it. I keep going back and forth in my mind if I want to trade my M9 for a 17. I think I would if someone locally would do it. But it's a bit of a hard one because it was the first pistol I really shot well and is accurate and easy to shoot. But the 26 makes it feel like a turd to me, IN COMPARISON. It's still a good pistol though.

Traded for an HK P30. |

Its a good gun but it aint a 228! Trade it for something else youll like more.

Don't keep a gun you don't like. Find something you do like and buy it. I bought my first Glock, a 17, in 1989. I've owned and do own other kinds of guns, but keep coming back to Glock as my go to. Right now it's a pair of 17 Gen 4s.

I had to have a new Sig 229 years ago.
I had buyer's remorse within a week of purchase. I hated the long trigger reset -> shipped back to Sig for a short reset trigger and night sight install. After SRT installed it's still a shitty trigger reset. I've never carried the gun. |

[#20]
My 2022 is my most accurate and comfortable pistol to shoot. Striker fired I prefer the P320.
For some reason my hands hurt after shooting Glocks and classic series Sigs. Not recoil pain, more like cramping. |

The SP2022 is a better quality gun than the Glock, but if you don't like DA/SA pistols, that makes little difference. I had the exact opposite experience with the two.
As much as I dislike Glocks, I say go with what is most comfortable to you. So you lose a few bucks in your little experiment. Now you know. It happens to all of us. |

Are polymer handguns exempt from being judged on quality simply because they have a polymer frame? That statement is silly. Take a good look at both. Take them apart and look at the parts and quality that went into both. Tell me again why you think the Glock (any Glock) is on par with a SIG (any SIG). Yes, both are reliable handguns. The SP2022 is more accurate for most, has better ergonomics for most and features a metal trigger and metal sights. Many have been offered on special with factory night sights for no additional cost. The SIG is also more adaptable to fit any sized hand with two different triggers (the optional trigger is a short reach trigger) and three sizes of grip modules. The SP2022 is much less susceptible to limp wristing than the Glocks, which might come in handy if you're down to one arm in a gun fight or if you simply have one arm. The SP2022 is an overall safer firearm. The DA/SA mechanism is proven to be a safer gun. No argument can be made against that other than the obvious "don't stick your finger in the trigger guard until you're ready to shoot". Except that people under stress (sometimes highly trained people) stick their booger hook on the bang switch and bad things happen. The SP2022 features a fully supported chamber. Many Glocks do not. I personally think the whole Kaboom thing is a bit overblown, but it does happen and when it happens it is no laughing matter. <snicker> Those are my reasons.

You raise a good point, but to be fair a very large order for the 2022 was placed by the French for their (national?)police (say what you will about the French, but it is what it is). I don't think too many people are going to argue there are more Glocks in the hands of LE, military, and competitive shooters. |

I had a 2022. Got it from psa back when they were like $375 a couple years ago.
I absolutely hated that firearm. It felt ok in the hand, manipulated well. But shooting it sucked. Im not a glock fanboy either. But I'd take an xd or glock over that thing any day. Ended up trading it for an xdm, which I sold to get a vp9. Maybe im too spoiled by usp's. But good lord did I hate that gun |

Since you're sharing facts, how many SP2022s are in the hands of law enforcement, military, and competitive shooters? Although you make a valid point on who uses them, it should be noted that .mil and LE are guided by the rule of the lowest bidder. Not exactly the best way to buy a firearm that you risk your life on. It also does account for a significant reason why so many agencies use them. |

I had one USP 9 and wanted to like it very badly, but just could not...I hated that gun, and will not ever buy one again. OTH, I have come to really love the 2022.

The specops community certainly won't use something that doesn't work. Competitive shooters can use whatever they want and 2 guns dominate that world. The bottom line is that if the 2022 was that much better, more people would be using it. |

I would in a heartbeat.
The G21 is one of the lightest recoiling .45's on the market. I went trough the police academy with a G21SF, and carried it on duty for 2 years. I love that pistol. |

So I think the deal is gonna happen. I work with the guy and he's supposed to bring it to work in the am. My sig-speriment is over... I'm ready for another glock. It'll be nice to use the 21 mags in my 30s.

Have Glocks and Sigs. I think it's personal preference. The Seals did just drop Sigs for Glocks right?.

The deal is done. The 21 doesn't look hurt at all. No scratches or wear anywhere. 2 mags, box, cleaning rod, spent casing, it's all there. If it has a red label on the box, what does that mean?

I would recommend you get some trigger time in if possible with the 17 and 19 . Possibly a rental range if you don't have any glock type friends .
I own a G30, a G34 (17 sized target model ,more or less) and a old G19 2nd gen with almost smooth grip and no finger bumps . The G30 and the 34 are both gen 3 with bumps The G34 is the most accurate but with some time pressure (like a plate shoot ) the G19 is what I shoot best. The G30 feels horrible , like I am holding a brick or something but I shoot it almost as well as the G34. My point is "feel" isn't always the key , you really need to shoot the gun . I know more than several folks who bought a 17 for a range/plate gun and after they got a 19 for carry they find they actually shoot the 19 better. It would stand to reason the 17 with a bit more weight , longer grip and longer sight radius would be the best shooter for most folks but somehow the 19 many times wins out . The only Sig I own is a old West German that has a real nice slick trigger but try as I might I just can't wrap my mind and shooting style around the double action/single action trigger transition . If it was my only gun I guess I could train myself but it isn't something I would carry. Good luck to the OP |

Definitely get the G17, you're not giving up anything! The 2022 is a lower end model, if you had one of the 226 elite models, you'd feel different about Sig!
