Why do Sigs cost what they do? Because that is what the market will bear. If the market though Glocks had equal value then they would sell at the same price point... Economics 101

It is the buyers that determine at what point something sells, not the seller. What Glock did do is flood the market with a cheap and reliable weapon. People are invested in what they buy especially once the price starts to go up. Glocks biggest weakness is they seem to have lost all ability to innovate. Pick almost any other brand and they offer more options whatever they may be and quite often they produce weapons that do not all look alike.

The common saying is "build the Glock". Why? If its great then why? Never heard someone say "build the Sig" The truth is that its a competent weapon, hardly perfection. Still they have some of the best advertising in the business.. Want to look like a cop or a gangbanger, get a Glock, its a self selling theme.

My esteemed friend AK103 is right, you can buy more Glocks for the same price as most Sigs... Guns are about personal choice, hold the two in your hand and compare. a Glock may well be the functional equal, it is not however considered so by the price the market bears. Something intrinsic lets the Sig in general demand a much higher price. In the end all that matters is if your happy with your purchase... If so then it must be good enough.
