Good handguns

I find that I am most accurate with whatever pistol I have put the most time in with lately. I prefer the feel of the glock, though. The SIG has a more verticle grip, the 1911 feels too thin, but the Glock fills my hand and points naturally.

I have put thousands of rounds through one of my SIG's, and it was a lemon. It broke the take-down lever (bad batch, the lever part pivoted around the "bar" part, not a true "break"), and would FTE anything that was nickle-plated (Ranger-T, Gold-dots, etc.) Sig fix both problems for me, free of charge. It was one of the first P226 Elite's, and in 9mm, I don't feel the SIG is that good in the stainless platform. It ejects lazily, slide-mass is a bit much for the 9mm, stainless has a higher coefficient of friction, etc.

My next SIG was an Elite ST in 357SIG. This one felt a lot better from the word "go". NEVER had ANY failure of any sort, and after GGI worked it over, it shoots amazing. THey didn't touch the barrel/lock-up and it shoots better than most X5's they have had in their shop. 1.25-1.5" groups at 25 yards was what they were getting out of it with boring regularity.

The Glocks I have owned and shot have all just been boringly reliable.

The HK's, the same, except for one USP that had an unknown amount of rounds through it/the mag, that would fail to lock back on the last round. Common issue with USP 45's and a weak mag-spring.

The 1911's, well, I could write a book about the fail between the Les Baer, Wilson, and Colt.

I really like HK, but Glock does just as well for me, for less money, and it carrys well.

PS. Check out Hogue's new G10 grips for the P226, if that is what you are carrying. They are very grippy/nice and transformed the feel of mine. Still a bit "verticle", but it feels better.
