Ever wonder why the Navy SEALS carried the P-226 instead of the M92? :twisted:NetAdminWithGun said:I'm going to have to disagree with that video, its not even close to the glock torture test.
That mainly just showed how strong the body of the pistol was, hell my 92fs could do that without even trying.
Let it sit over night in water and sand with teh slide open and then try to shoot it.

I'm normally not a defender of glocks but i had to on this one.
Someone else footing the bill? Taxpayers? If the marginal gain is so little, I think they should go with the less expensive option.tace said:There is no question, IMO, that SIGs are very reliable and accurate guns. When someone else is footing the bill (like Military, Police, etc.), its a great gun to have but for those who can barely come up with $500 for a handgun, asking another 50% for marginal gain over a Glock or Springfield is tough to justify.

LE agencies don't pay what Joe Citizen does for Sigs though. There's a reason they go with the Sigs at the prices they get them for.ptsmith24 said:Someone else footing the bill? Taxpayers?

True, but all other things being equal, shouldn't Glocks or Springfields get the same percentage "bulk discount"?wsweeks2 said:LE agencies don't pay what Joe Citizen does for Sigs though.

Glock did the same thing with the 45GAP and Georgia State Patrol.wsweeks2 said:When the .357 Sig round came out, Delaware State Police were the first to adopt it with the P229. Why? Because Sig wanted someone to adobt the round so they could say that "Blah blah blah department was using this amazing new round."
They gave them such a good deal on it they would have been fools to turn it down.
And I agree Ramm. I'm still not sold on the Springfield XD for some reason. I'd take a Glock, Sig, or HK USP to defend myself and/or my loved ones. Anything else, and I'm mentally not sure.
Yep. I think they are fine weapons, but they have some time yet to truly prove themselves.wsweeks2 said:And I agree Ramm. I'm still not sold on the Springfield XD for some reason. I'd take a Glock, Sig, or HK USP to defend myself and/or my loved ones. Anything else, and I'm mentally not sure.

But a big plus one on Glock/Sig/Hk. It's a weapon you can pick up with confidence and know it is gonna go bang every time.
When I hear about a gun needing a "break in" period....that kills it for me. It either shoots or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, then I don't have a need for it.
What was GSP carrying prior to that?Firearmz said:Glock did the same thing with the 45GAP and Georgia State Patrol.
