#Dear Readers:

#I have an old Glock 17 (which I bought in 1986), with 1992 Trijicon
#sights.  While I *love* my Glock, I am thinking of a second pistol;
#perhaps a collection of one pistol is too small, and our beloved
#Moderator's mantra is taking its toll (``Buy them all'' :).
#
#Anyway, given all of the "Sig, Sig, Sig," talk that I hear, I was
#considering a Sig P226 with K-kote and Sig-lights (Sig's tritium
#sights [which are also from Trijicon?]), in 9mm.  But then, in a
#moment of lucid thought, I realized that for the price of a Sig, I
#could almost get two Glocks.
#
#The natural question comes to mind, is the Sig better than the Glock?
#If so, why?

[stuff deleted]

#So, Sig owners, please be so kind as to post *why* the Sig is so good,
#and please be so kind, if possible, as to *compare* to the Glock.

I have owned the blued 226 since 1987 with 6000+ rounds thru it. Now,
I'm not the most meticulous when it comes to cleaning right after a
session, somtimes I wait 2 days, somtimes 2 weeks, if the session was
light (and I used factory ammo :) I skip until the next time. The
point is, this gun looks and shoots as good as the day I brought it,
which is to say _very_ good!
