Glock and SIG SAUER. Glock claims to be “America’s Gun,” an assertion that the folks at SIG SAUER would dispute if they could speak English. In a replay of the Austro- Prussian War and hoping to provoke a border incident, I shot the Austrian pistol side by side and round for round against the Swiss- German pistol to try to determine, for myself if no one else, which gun from mitteleuropa does the better job of firing the cartridge from Middle America.

The results will shock some, inflame others and put 1. So, on with the show. Checking Them Out, Side by Side. This comparison isn’t a matter of potato against potahto.

This is an epic throwdown. As sportscasters are apt to say, these two pistols flat out don’t like each other. This is the Red Sox against the Yankees, Ali against Frazier and Mothra against Godzilla (without the singing Japanese midgets). Both guns fire the same caliber, both dress in basic black and both guns use an adaptation of John Browning’s short- recoil, locked breech system. That’s it for points of convergence. The differences twixt the G2.

P2. 20 are far more abundant. The G2. 1 has a polymer frame; the SIG’s is alloy. Laughing Gas Full Movie In English more. The Glock carries thirteen rounds in its double- stack magazine, while the P2.

The Glock is a striker fired, DAO pistol. The SIG is a hammer fired, SA/DA pistol. The two pistols have about as much in common as Khloe and Lamar, and we know where that’s going. More than any other functional factor, it’s the triggers that set these pistols apart from each other. Okay, sure, they both have them, but they work differently. Because it’s a DAO pistol, you’d expect that the Glock’s pull would be as long, tedious and heavy as the album version of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” Well, it isn’t.

The Glock’s short- ish trigger pull trips the sear at a gentle 5. But worry not about carrying the gun safely. Even if you tuck a Glock into your Thunderwear and testicle carry, the gun will not go boom unless someone or something presses the trigger.

The someone is you; the something I leave to your imagination. The SIG’s sublime SA pull is rated at an even more ultralight 4. SA pistol without a safety. But aha! SIG makes its feathery trigger as safe as a Nerf gun, without any safety, by means of a decocking lever that lowers the hammer. With the hammer down, it takes a 1. Subsequent shots are SA.

And carry away, lads and lassies, because toting the P2. You will not go all Tex Grebner on your own ass with the P2. Condition Zero. There’s another difference between the two pistols that more subtle, but obvious once I looked. The barrel of the Glock is much thicker, and while I didn’t put either barrel on a scale, I’ll bet it’s heavier, too. That might equate to better long- term durability, but it might not. I just thought I’d mention it to keep y’all guessing.

Finally, there’s the acid test for all things that must be purchased, and that’s the price. Stretching our armament- buying dollar, the G2. Gen. 3 sells for a measly $5. US American greenbacks. That’s not a lot to pay for a high quality, big- bore handgun.

On the other hand, the SIG lists for a palpitation- inducing and wallet- emptying $9. That’s a whole lot of scratch for a duty/service type pistol.

I think it’s fair to say that the G2. Watch Batman Vs. Robin Online Freeform. SIG P2. 20 is a gun for everyman with a trust fund.

Capacity also favors the Glock by 1. The Glock’s the clear winner, right? Not so fast. If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, then the proof of the pistol should be in the blowing up of, uh, stuff.

So, to the range I went, armed with the two guns and enough ammo to storm Tora Bora. Man, I love my job.

Touch Testing the Triggers and Stocks. Both pistols are justifiably famous for their triggers.

I found the G2. 1’s trigger pull spongy and somewhat vague, but it’s still a good trigger. Interestingly, several hammer- fired DA pistols, such as the SIG Sauer P2. Proof positive, I think, that in the world of guns there’s nothing so novel that another manufacturer can’t copy it. SIG chose something different for the venerable P2. DA pull in lieu of a safety. I was expecting two different trigger pulls for the P2. I was firing DA or SA.

What I found instead was one trigger pull with two different weights and lengths. Both pulls were very intuitive, easy, smooth and crisp. The DA pull broke like the proverbial glass rod. The SA pull, being lighter, snapped like one of those skinny Alessi breadsticks that they serve up in the neighborhood trattoria. Yum! The SIG’s trigger isn’t just good or even very good. It’s great, in either mode. As for the stocks, I placed one pistol atop the other to show how different the thicknesses are.

It’s a huge deal. The SIG is a single stack pistol with a handle that’s as sleek as Kathy Ireland. The Glock, being a double- stack pistol and, well, a Glock, has a handle about as comfortable as sharing a sleeping bag with Rosie O’Donnell. Guys with hands the size of oven mitts will love the Glock.

Those of us who are less deformed will prefer the SIG. Slide to Slide Shooting Comparison. I have never liked Glock’s goofy plastic sights, especially the rear with its inexplicable U- shaped highlight that does nothing to help form a sight picture. In contrast, the SIG sports conventional three dot sights. Lo and behold, in the low- light conditions of the indoor range, the Glock sights fore and aft remained highly visible, while the SIG’s rear dots tended toward obscurity and the front almost disappeared. I didn’t see that coming.

Literally. Peering down the barrel of the Glock, I formed the best sight picture that I could and slow- fired five rounds of hardball at five yards. The shots formed a lovely cloverleaf, all in the red.

Take that, SIG. From a previous expedition to the range, I knew that the SIG’s sights were maladjusted, aiming low and as far left as a Massachusetts Attorney General. I’d had the front sight drifted, but it wasn’t by enough to correlate point of aim with point of impact. I should have tapped the rear sights along with the front, but I didn’t, so sue me. I compensated for the skewed sights by holding a couple of degrees to the right. I got a very nice four shot grouping, still left but very tight.

Trying to hit dead center, I overcompensated on the last shot, hitting the red but losing contact with the group. When all was said and done, at five yards the Glock outperformed the SIG.

Not by much to be sure, but the results on paper could not be denied. Videos shot from the side revealed another telling point — the Glock exhibited less muzzle rise than the SIG. Comparing the two pistols side by side, it was apparent that the Glock’s bore axis is slightly lower slightly than the SIG’s, which reduces muzzle rise somewhat. Glock achieves this by placing the barrel close tighter to the guide rod and by flattening out the top of the slide, which makes it work a little bit better but makes it look like the slide got a buzz cut. It’s butch, but ugly.

Both pistols returned to point automatically, as they should. Still, once again, the Glock was marginally outpacing the SIG.

Both guns proved boringly accurate at five yards as I burned through a couple of million rounds of Winchester 2. Feeling confident in both pistols, I ran the target out to 2.
