Im not sure about the Sig 2022, but I owned and then sold to my best friend a Sig SP2009, which is basically the same gun as the 2022, without the rail. He then went out and got a SP2340, which is the same gun but in 40 S&W...both guns have been incredible for thousands of rounds, amazing reliability and accuracy, nothing at all bad to say about them. You will see some barrel peening, but it stops after 500-100 rounds and doesnt seem to effect anything at all.
The Gen4 17 is definitely a risk, many many people are having problems with the Gen4 9mm's. I would stay away, far away at this point. HK's are nice, very nice, if I were you it would be between the Sig and the HK. I happen to live 20 mins from where the Sigs are made, so that would also influence my decision If you had mentioned a Gen3 Glock, I would say that was your best bet, but given your choices, I would have to vote for The Sig or the HK evenly |

Hm, the Gen3 G17 is also an option.
I'm wondering, does anyone had a problems with the stock glock sights? They tend to fail , right? And i heard the glocks are more prone to misfires I don't like P30's mag release button and the spiderman handles Last edited by eurotrade; October 17, 2010 at 08:10 PM. |

This article is from 1995. http://membres.multimania.fr/shooter/glock/glock4.html At that time Chuck Taylor had 100,000 rounds through his Glock 17 and had 1 malfunction at around the 33,000 round count. He had a blown primer at around round #56,000. He had replaced zero parts other than worn out magazines and holsters.
That was 15 years ago, he has well over 300,000 rounds through it now and has had to replace some small parts. They are ugly, but you won't find a more durable, reliable gun at any price. |

I have both the SigPro 2022 9mm and .40S&W. I also have the Glock 19 Gen 4 (9mm Compact) and Glock 23 Gen 4 (.40S&W Compact). All are problem free. The 2022s are DA/SA - that might be a consideration if shooting matches. The Glocks are DAO. I have carried all of them in OWB holsters that are easily concealed with an outer shirt/vest/jacket. I purchased each of them for less than $500 (but that's here in the US). IMO, you couldn't go wrong with any of them; and as already suggested earlier in this thread - if possible, you should try shooting them before deciding.

You can never go wrong with any of the choices you provide us. Something you want to get you started, Glocks is the best imo. I started with a G19 and completely hooked on to it. Got rid of that and got the HK USP .45 full size, and now in the process in getting a G17 because I want to get into competitive shooting.

EDC as in concealed carry, open carry, or both?
Open carry - USP .45. Concealed/open - P30. Had you said Gen3 Glock 19 I would've voted for that.

drb1611 all the glocks are actually a single action pistols, pulling the trigger does only one thing. Its the same thing like the 1911 single action.
voyager4520 Why you wouldnt vote for the glock? Isn't the 3rd gen better? |

I have an HK45 Variant 1...it's the best .45 i've ever shot. the HK p30 is the little brother....never shot the p30 but if its as smooth as the 45 i'd get one.

P30 or G17. Whichever you prefer
From Todd Green's P30 endurance test "once going over 12,000 rounds between cleanings. It was rarely lubed more often than once every 4-5,000 rounds. Multiple days per week" http://pistol-training.com/archives/2668 |

You did say EDC, so none of the above. Get a Glock 19.

The quality, ergonomics, accuracy and reliability of the P30 make it fine sidearm.
I love mine.

The Gen4 G17/19 would probably work great for you, especially if you use 9mm Nato, but the Gen3 already has a proven track record with its current configuration.

P30!
The mag release will make sense once you get used, plus it is fully ambidextrous. As for the "spider-man grip" I would venture to say it the most ergonomic grip out there I like it more that my CZ's grips. And why do you say the USP 9 is better than the P30? |

group17 yes i'm familiar with that, but i cannot import guns
espnazi Is it jamming, the p30? I like the ambidextrous thing, if i get hurt, i can easily switch hands. I won't be able to shoot with the P30, so what you think about the trigger? Some say its pita |

Nothing magical in them for me; they're a service pistol, and are used accordingly. If mine didn't work exceptionally well for me, I wouldn't own or carry it. Quote:

At the same price, I'm not sure which I'd go with...other than considering resale value. Here, used HK's sell for more than new Glocks do. HK makes awsome firearms, but I really prefer the G23 for my own use. Between the HK P2000 and a full sized Glock? I'd choose the HK every time, even though I don't care for the grip angle quite as much. Quote:
