My very first pistol was a Sig 226. Has the stamp from the Austrian factory and everything. Its a great gun, but the de-cocker along with the DA first pull and the SA second pull were both deal killers for me as a defensive weapon. The weight isn't fun, but that wasn't a deal killer. I shot my first pistol class with it, and quickly realized why I wanted a Glock instead. My wife prefers the Sig, but after 300-400 rounds in a class all day, she starts complaining about the weight.But what happens if you are out fishing and want to drip anchor, but alas you forgot your anchor! Well no fear if a Sig owner is nearby you have more weight than you need! 🤣. I have a 3rd generation 17 that is my primary CCW it has Truglo tritium sights that are worth their weight in gold in low light.
I have a 17 and love it, but rarely shoot it anymore. I carry the 26 in hot weather, 19 in cold weather, and I shoot the 34 in competitions. I used to use the 17 for competition, but now I'm in love with the 34 for that purpose. All of mine are box stock except I put 3 pound connectors in all of them, so they all have exactly the same pull. Glock triggers suck, but at least they are very consistent from one model to the next.
I can't use night sights. They kill my night vision. I can see the stock sights perfectly well at night. Everyone seems to hate stock Glock sights. Not me. I prefer them over anything else. I've tried other sights and they slow me down tremendously. Its so easy to put that big fat ball in that big wide cup. Finer sights might make it easier to get hits at 100+ yards, but inside 15 yards where the vast majority of my shooting is done, those fine sights slow me down too much.
