...GLOCK, SIG, or H&K...? Which one and Why...? Let the games begin...

ps: Don't ask why I chose those, because I don't know...just impulse... 

Price? Glock.
Nice DA/SA with a metal frame? Sig.
Because I'm a Sadomasochist? H&K

HK for me. Own both a HK and SIG, Heckler wins by a mile for me. It's the one firearm I have on hand that I trust my and my families lives with...

HK for me.  I have 1 sig and 1 hk.  (As well as 8 other handguns) Have not had problems with either, but with all the things you read about SIG's these days, it makes me wary of depending on it during a life threatening situation.  I personally like my HK better also.  P30 vs p229 elite stainless, the p30 feels better in the hand, is lighter.  Just all around a better gun imo.  The p229 i have sure is purty though 

I would personally stay the hell away from glock at the moment.  SOOOOO many problems being reported after the gen 4 came out.  Seems like after the gen4 glocks came out, they're starting to screw up on the gen 3's as well.  Problems with jamming or even the slide finish being kinda messed up.

Have H&K & Sig.  Don't have any Glocks.

I don't like polymers, so my primary is Sig.

I think any gun without "safeties" is a good  choice, either DA or DA only.  I personally like glock, not sure what problems Ichi says the glock is having, but i have put at least 2k rounds through mine and never experienced a failure yet.  I have only touched one the HK's in .308 lol; it looked really awesome and was full auto if I could have that I would haha.  I have used Alex's sig, and liked it, but I don't have enough experience to recommend it to you.

hehe....  for real though, Glock.  thats what Im bugging in/out with in a no rule of law situation.

I'm a Glock guy.

I own Sigs and have owned H&K's but when the SHTF, I want a Glock on my side.

One of my Glock 22's has about 20,000 rounds through it and has not had 1 single malfunction.

Glock 19 for concealed/daily carry, Sig 226 for OWB and winter wear.  Gotta get a 228 when funds allow for training.

I only have one handgun, so if I had to choose out of what I have now....a Springfield XD 45 =Op.

Wow this guy obviously didn't read the OP.

I'd choose Glock, since I'm more familiar with that platform over the other choices!

For the price, get 2 Glocks for the HK :-)  I think HK's are pretty though...

I am really in the market for a new pistol... was seriously looking at the Glock 17 Gen 4, and was gonna place my order tomorrow. Now I'm getting nervous... see so many complaints about the jamming on the new gen 4's... Should I go with a Gen 3? Has the problem been fixed on the newest versions? Will the new spring really cure the problems... Hearing so many stories, hard to figure whats what...

I don't have any Gen 4's but I have many different Gen 3's.

The only malfunctions I've had are when I'm experimenting with after market parts.

They're extremely reliable, accurate and durable.

 

they worked out the bugs with the early Gen4s.  Just buy from a high-volume dealer so you get a newer one.

you will feel a difference in recoil w/ the gen4s vs the gen3

I shot very accurate with a SIG.  I've yet to meet a glock that I felt comfortable with.  Makes me wonder what's wrong with me because every time I go to the range it seems like 40% of the shooters there own glocks.  It just feels awkward when I grip one.

There is NOTHING wrong with you.  Glocks and SiGs have very different grip to slide angles and generally the ergos of one make it comfortable and "natural" feeling to shoot while just the opposite for the other.  My hands like the ergos of the SiGs and that is what I own.  I do NOT care for th ergos of the Glocks and that's why I do not own any (among other reasons).  There is NO rule saying you must own every brand of gun out there because of marketing hype and fanboy recommendatins.  Be your own peson and make up you own mind.  I learned the ergo lesson LONG ago.  I have nothing against Beretta or Glock or many other manufacturers, but I could never get my Beretta to group as good or "naturally" as my SiG (at that time) regardless what I did.  Aftermarket grips, weightlifting glove on my shooting hand.....nothing made it feel more comfortable and natural.  I ended up selling the Beretta.

Getting to a gun shop and "feeling out" potential buys is one way to make a better informed decision before you drop the bones.  Guns lose their value faster and deeper than cars once you buy them (in some cases).  Being able to test drive them at the range is an even better way to gathr the information one needs to make a better informed decision.  IMO.  You have gathered that you do not shoot Glocks very intuitively becauase they do not fit or feel comfortable in your hands.  Listen to your hands, they speak much louder than any marketing hype ever should.

FWIW, mine.........

^^^Holy crap.........

A lot of people struggle with the trigger of a Glock at first.

Especially if you're used to a single action trigger.

A lot of people who own DA/SA guns, never fire their gun in double action. They rack the slide to chamber a round, making it single action and continue to fire SA until their magazine is empty.

Ergonomics aside, most people don't spend the time to practice a double action trigger pull. The Glock trigger could be loosely described as DAO (double action only) making it difficult for the untrained shooter.
