Looks like it's still Glock followed by Sig.

Both are great guns, but I think from a design point of view, the Glock and its ever increasing number of clones are a more refined and more efficient design than my SigPro or my H&K USP 9c.

My Sig and my H&K have more parts, a higher bore axis and are thicker than similar Glocks. The external hammer offers dirt more places to hide than a closed, internal striker design. To me, this seems to be a throwback to earlier, more conventional designs. Nothing wrong with Sig, H&K, or many other older designs, however. They have been working and have been reliable for decades.

Nevertheless, it seems as if they were engineered to get as much mechanical reliability as possible out of an existing, if dated design pattern.

I like Sig and H&K, but I don't carry them nearly as often.
