I don't own any of these, but I have fired them. I like the Glock's fit in my hand the best, and I like the trigger on the glock the best.
If I had to make a purchase, I would get a Glock.

However, I love my 1911, and S&W wheel gun just fine for now.
Maybe if Hawaii got rid of the stupid mag cap law I'd get me a Glock.  :thumbsup:

people refer a lot to Glock triggers as "staple gun" feeling.  I dunno, it only feels like that when you dry fire it.

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.........

It's the German produced contract overrun for a French Police contract (ALL my SiGs are German) in 9mm.  I like it a lot but honestly don't shoot it much.  I'm REALLY not partial to rails and would've been much happier if a rail-less option was available.  Nice features like the loaded chamber indicator and I'd like to mount a set of TFO's on it like my P228 and P225 (I love those sights).  I still have to get at least one holster for it but that won't be until I move back to the mainland.  I don't think it'll accompany me to the islands.....it'll end up in storage.
