Old fashioned .40SW Shootout

[Executive]

You have to choose: Smith and Wesson 4006, Glock 22, Beretta 96, H&K USP .40, or Sig 229 .40. Which one? Why?

S&W, cuz that's all I own.

I own 3 of the 5 the beretta 96 g22 and 229 in 40 and like shooting all 3, but I like the sig, why I shoot it better but thats just me plus its a sig and I like how it fits my hand. My vote get the sig.

 

[SKS Ray]

Glock cause thats all I own for a 40. Although I did get a history and balistics lesson in 10mm yesterday, and man...

Sig, baby!

I have been shooting handguns since the mid '60s and am no longer easily impressed by price (high or low), pretty, or past reputation.
For durability, reliablilty, and accuracy, out of the box, it's Sig P229.
I've owned and / or shot some of the others.
I was so impressed with the accuracy and handling of the Sig the first time that I fired one that I went out and bought one.
I have not been disapointed in any way.
My P229 is now sharing my attention with a P239 and a P226, all .40S&W.

Just one??? Jeeeezz. Well...best I can do is it's a toss up between the H&K or the Sig. I've tried both and like them, but that's the best I can do.

Gunsmiths seem to be able to do better, lighter, smoother trigger jobs on Sigs than they can on HKs.

Darius- who might you reccomend to do a trigger job on a P229? I have
one that is need of enhancement, badly, in terms of its single action
pull.

Greg Derr is my gunsmith. He's one of the best. PM him here on NES. His user name is Greg Derr.

H&K USP .40

I carry the compact version.

 

[FPrice]

Sig P229. From what I understand this pistol was built for the .40 S&W. And it shows it in the way it handles and shoots. It even makes me look good.

 

[Thor67]

Glock. Why? It's never failed me, 15 round mags, and it's got a consistent trigger pull with no extra safety to foul up when the SHTF (though I'll admit that you can train that part).

 

[tw2979]

Sig p229. That was my choice and I'm very happy with it

I own 2 G22's. I love 'em!
