Glock 17 and Sig P226 Used Prices?

Sig. Is it better? Not really, very subjective and relative to the user. Handle both, and decide based on what you're comfortable with. Better yet, go to a range that rents both and shoot both of them. You may find that this answers your question. I can't get used to the grip angle of the glock, to me it feels like I'm holding a 2"x4" out in front of me at an awkward angle. Thats one reason I got a Sig(P229R). Aftermarket is great for both, but you can customize a Sig easier than a Glock. So my vote is Sig. Not because it's better, it's just better for me.
 
06bouley has great advice ,that is what I did but i rented a springfield XD and sig 226...my budget allowed for the XD9 for which is a awesome firearm and love it...but I rented the sig ,just because it is a Sig Sauer and they are excellent pistols...IMO But try Springfield XD or Glock....I purchaseda used XD9 for $300 + sent it to the factory for a complete refurbish job ($65) and just like a new one...being I bought a used one I received 4ea 15rnd clips and 2ea. 10rnd. complete with factory box and kydex holster..

Do I call SIG and ask about those? Are they somewhere on their website? I was at a gun shop the other day, and "factory reconditioned" SIG P226 were going for $530.00. Does that price sound right for that gun?



<$300 for a Glock? That seems like a hard find, or maybe I'm looking under the wrong rock?! I don't see prices going that low on gunbroker.com

maybe not. i can get a brand new glock pretty cheap, under 500.00 with trijicons. but i bought mine at an leo only store. currently, one place i go
has glock 22's w/ glock sites listed for 398.00.

guess i shoulda considered that, huh?

maybe 350-400 is more reasonable, considering.
 
The nice thing about a glock is that you can always buy an extra barrel and change cal . For instance a mdl 23 in .40 cal can convert to .357sig just by changing barrel you would use the same clip .Not that famlier with sigs might be able to do the same . Let us know what you get .
 
pretty sure it is the same with sigs.

the mags i had said .40/.357 sig on them. i had a sig 226 .40.
 
i dont guess anyone else has mentioned this but to me the SIG is a lot heavier to carry vs the glock, seems heavier to me than the numbers would indicate.

of course this only matters if ya are gonna edc it, & a good holster/belt combo will help lots too.

Yes, it is true with Sig too that you can convert the .40 to the .357 SIG with just a barrel change. ;)


I heard that with a Glock you can change the barrel and the magazine and switch from .40 to 9mm is that True or False?
 
Thanks everyone, you have all been helpful. I got some more price information, and I could really use some more help!

I would really like to know the answer to that as well. It would help in my decision of getting the Glock 22.

Glock 17 1st Gen Used ~$350
Glock 22 Like New ~$360
Glock 22 Factory Rebuilt ~390
P226 .40 Cal Stainless Slide Like New ~$500

What's the difference between the Glock 1st Gen and 3rd Gen?? What do you guys think of those prices?

you could probably change the bbl and mag and it would shoot. but i would not expect it to shoot reliably or accurately.

assuming they are the same generation, the extractors and ejectors are different. the breech face may be different as well.

in the older 17's and 19's, there was one pin for the locking block and trigger. the .40's and .45's had two pins, one for each. the newer 9mm's have two pins, but im not sure the locking block is the same in both guns. i dont have a 9mm or i would mic the parts.


i wouldn't do it. the .357 sig conversion is the only one glock endorses, afaik.

Hmmm well it would be best idea in the same generation; although the barrels should be the same for all generations.

I wish I could remember if I read that in a gun rag or on the interweb thingy...:o

I'll start a new thread since not everyone who knows glocks will read this thread.

I like how those numbers add up ;). I'll try another place to see if they have any used Glock 17s. I'll update you guys with what I buy and for how much. Thanks again for the help.
 
I like both, the SIG and the Glock. The biggest difference between that two is the trigger system. I'd try both systems to see what you're more comfortable with. I'd say the SIG's DA needs a bit more training. You can doo a lot to a Glock trigger to give it different characters or a lighter or havyer trigger pull.
I like both systems.

I wonder what's the purpose of the gun. Will you carry it or shoot it on the range?

While I'm a big fan of Glock I'm not a big fan of the 17 in particular. The Glock 19 carries much better if it's for conceiled carry and the Glock 34 (which is just a bit longer than the G17) is a much sweeter shooter than the G17 (less recoil, more sight radius).

I never had a problem with MecGar mags for the SIG. In fact SIG itself sells them with a +2 floor plate for the X-Five for the tripple price or so. :D
 
if this is your frist handgun the i would advise the 9mm glock over the 40 sig . dont get me wrong i love and own many sigs but the 9mm is going to let you shoot a whole lot more for less money . glocks (i have 3)are very good guns and the trigger takes a bit of getting used to.also parts are cheap for the glock .. if you can get a sig 226 in 9 jump on it . mine has never disapointed me
 
the main diff between old/new glocks is the tac rail and the way the grips have the finger grooves on the new model, the old ones have the grips with no finger grooves, i suppose i like the newer ones better myself, but unless ya are gonna add a lite/laser the older ones are fine also.

i would always get the 19/23/32 over the 17/22/31 FWIW, every single time, they just carry a lot better, i would only get the full size if i was required to ie dept issue.

ya can shoot the compacts just as well, no diff there imho.

I have a couple of unique Sebenzas that are safe queens. I am trying to get a user small classic for my EDC.

Shouldn't it be more like a Sebenza and a Kimber?

Maybe a Glock and a frn handled Spyderco. They make an Endura with a Glock tool in the butt. Perfect match. :)
