Winner: Sig Sauer Features Red Dot Capability The Glock 19 has a capacity of 15+1, but the Sig comes in strong with a capacity of 17+1. This category isn’t too much of a contest. While there is no doubt an enormous aftermarket for customizing Glocks, this round goes to Sig, who offers much more variety to the customer upfront. I confirmed with Sig the XMacro components will ultimately populate this builder as well. There are a plethora of options for frames, slides, triggers, colors, and coatings, not to mention the Fire Control Units (FCU) they sell, allowing you to “roll your own.” Sig Sauer P365 Upgrades Besides the options available at Sig Custom Works, shoppers can build a completely custom P365 with a builder on Sig’s website. On the other hand, Sig doubled down with modularity in the P365 series. Most Glock customization consists of adding aftermarket parts, accessories, and upgrades. That said, there isn’t a great deal of customization available from the factory other than choosing your sights. Notably, black was the only choice for a long time, though things changed with the release of the 19X, which came in an FDE color. The XMacro groups were bigger than 1 inch on average, and the Glock’s groups were 1 inch or less.Īn entire segment of the gun industry is dedicated to customizing Glocks. Regardless, I believe the longer barrel in the Glock resulted in slightly better accuracy. The use of red dots may have favored the Sig because the Glock had an advantage in sight radius or the distance between the front and rear sight. To determine accuracy, I carefully shot 2- and 3-shot groups from 7 yards using the same ammo in each gun. The distance from the backstrap to the trigger is pretty close in both guns, though there is more bulk on the Glock and the Sig makes up some distance with the forward-angled trigger bow.īoth guns are well textured, and I appreciated the inclusion of forward and rear serrations for manipulation. Its grip is also slightly longer, giving my pinky room without crowding. The XMacro has a square-ish grip, too though a more svelte overall size, with a thinner grip (1.1 inches) and accommodating beavertail. For me, the length of the grip is just enough to accommodate all my fingers though my pinky crowds the magazine a bit. The grip is square-ish and a bit thick, measuring 1.26 inches wide and over 2 inches from the backstrap to the front. Glock has not been the most ergonomic gun, but they have tried to improve the platform over the generations.įor my big hands, shooting a Glock without an extended backstrap is a recipe for slide bite. With the scales nearly even in that regard, the Glock takes this round because of its long track record. That said, I have experienced nearly flawless performance from both guns during testing. The XMacro hails from the P365 series, and while that might lend some strength to its reliability overall, this gun is somewhat of a departure because of its integral compensator. Many law enforcement agencies and military units have fielded the weapon around the globe. The G19’s reliability has been proven for many years - a Glock version has been around since 1988.
