I thought we beat this horse to death about a year ago.  Anyway here is
my two cents.  I own a Glock 21 and a Sig Saur P220, both have night
sights the glock has a wilson spring kit, other than that both gunst
are stock (no trigger work or anything like that)

Both guns are chambered for the .45 acp and I shoot the same ammo in both
guns.

Both guns are extremely reliable, but the Glock is very sensitve to primer
seating depth, which is why the Wilson spring kit was added, I have experienced
1 soft primer hit in my Glock with factory ammo with the factory springs
the Wilson springs seem to have solved the problem for my reloads which
had a history of not going off the first time.

Neither gun has had a failure to feed or eject a factory round or a handloaded
round (we are talking many 1000's)

Both guns are very accurate, capeable of 2" groups from a rest at 50ft (granted
my s&w 625 45 acp revolver can produce a one hole group from a rest at 50ft
with the same ammo)  

The SIg is a traditional double action, single action pistol, makeing good
double taps something that requires a lot of practice, the Glock safe action
is closer to single action (I like to call it action and a half), a very
consistant trigger (not nice, consistant) lends it self better to double taps.

The glock has almost twice the magazine capacity and probably is more corrosion
resistant (I have carried my sig for a year, every day, in an inside the pants
holster, no rust or any signs of corrosion)

The biggest problem I have with the Glock is , as the magazine empties, the
gun becomes noticably lighter, and my point of impact changes.  The Sigs
greater overall weight and smaller mag don't seem to create a similar
problem.

Overall I find that the Sig is a better concealed carry gun, because it is
slimmer, also I have never heard of an AD with a P220 when the decocking
lever was used, I can't say the same for the Glock (probably most of the
Glock AD's were due to user error, but one can never tell)

Over all I would have to say that they are both very good firearms, accurate  
reliable, & easy to fieldstrip and clean, but I carry my Sig...
