The Sig 226 is a very nice pistol and it’s more aesthetically pleasing than a Glock. A friend had a 226 and I had a 220, both German. We both transitioned away from Sig to Glock’s at different times and for different reasons.

Glock’s generally will have a slimmer grip than a comparable capacity Sig.

IMO a heavy use range gun should be either all steel or polymer not alloy. The Santa Anita range, no longer in business, made their bread and butter on the rental G17’s. The Sig’s spent considerable downtime because of the roll pins of the slide, this could have been related to the labor and/or parts acquisition. Typically the pistols weren’t cleaned unless someone complained.

Glock is known to replace the frame even if was the users fault at moderate cost.

I believe the G17 has the reputation of being exceptionally robust/durable and it’s one of the few pistols that can be exposed to humid environments like a shower/bath room with little worry of rust.

If you want a pistol to showoff the Glock ain’t it.
