Title: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: HUNTNORTHWEST on March 20, 2017, 07:09:57 PM: Looking for a full size 9mm. Does anyone have a solid argument for one over the other?

Magazine cost and other little things, like that I'm not interested in.

From my reading the Accuracy, and reliability, seem pretty much one in the same.

I own a Glock 19. I like the Glock. I know the army has this contract with sig now. Not interested in that discussion either.

Any compelling arguments about the pistols themselves are desired.

Thanks for the input huntwa family.

Same grip angle and feel with a longer sight radius and a less cramped grip. Also you can run your 17 mags in your 19.

Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: HUNTNORTHWEST on March 20, 2017, 08:00:31 PM: Have not handled the g34. But yea ill probably stick with the glock family.

Post by: HighlandLofts on March 20, 2017, 08:27:34 PM: A Glock 17 is on my list of guns to buy, Between the 17 and the 19, the 17 feels better in my hand. I have a 45acp Glock and a 10mm Glock & like them both.

You like your 19 so I'd say go with the 17.

Post by: thinkingman on March 20, 2017, 09:32:13 PM: The Sig is three times the gun the Glock is.
Only reason to buy Glock is to pair it with a Keltec SUB2K and use the same mags.
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: JoeE on March 20, 2017, 10:37:42 PM: I prefer the Glock over the Sig. I own a few Glocks and have been carrying one at work for years so I'm partial.
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: Bofire on March 21, 2017, 09:30:41 AM: :) I have owned two Sigs, not very many!! did not like either one, sold them both .40s, but have not tried others. I like the Glock 19, I shoot it better than I do the 17?? :dunno: but I do.
I like my 19 cause I don't care if I bang it, scratch it, beat it, or generally ignore it. have a Glock 43 also. like the 19 better.

:yeah:

The 320 will make a OK shooter good and a good shooter great. Shoot them side by side and see for yourself. I've got hundreds of thousands of rounds through glocks, HKs and SIG's. Hands down SIG's shoot the best.

Post by: aaronoto on March 22, 2017, 08:11:38 PM: Have you shot or handled a P320 or any other Sig? Coming from a Glock you might find the high bore axis very awkward, for some it's enough to write off Sig. Personally I can't shoot a Glock for the life of me, but I love the way they feel compared to a Sig. I can shoot my P226 in double action and easily outshoot a Glock. I'd say buy whichever one feels best for you, they're both going to be good guns. Accessories and parts more readily and widely available with the Glock though.

Post by: fishngamereaper on March 22, 2017, 08:26:55 PM: Nice thing about the 320 is only the internals have the serial number. You can swap the guts into any other 320 frame, switching between full size, carry, compact in a matter of seconds. No need to buy new guns, just kits. Also with the 320 when loaded it's not cocked like the glock. Spring tension holds the firing pin forward, not back. I know glock has the drop safety but you never know..
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: tikkahunter on March 22, 2017, 09:01:35 PM: The glock isn't cocked when a round is chambered. The firing pin is like only "partly cocked". The trigger has to be pulled in order to fully cock the pin then it's released when the trigger breaks. A glock can't go off unless the trigger is pulled.

Post by: fish vacuum on March 22, 2017, 11:14:46 PM: Since you already have a 19, I'd stick with the same platform and get the 17. There's an advantage to keeping things the same between guns.
There are some good deals out there on police trade in glocks.
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: Bofire on March 23, 2017, 06:55:33 PM: :) I have been reading about the Sig 320 all day. Think I might have to try one. On Sig site the caliber change kits run $400.00 or so, I think I'd just buy another pistol for $650.00. Frame kits are only $50.00 new barrels $200.00 or so. barrel is sure high in your grip. Champion Arms has them for rent up in Renton/Kent.

Post by: fish vacuum on March 24, 2017, 03:50:37 PM: Looks like model 17 trade ins are scarce right now. Plenty of .40cal trade ins available for $350-400. Aim Surplus is out of stock but had used 17's listed for $329.
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: Bofire on March 24, 2017, 04:20:50 PM: I did a search for "ex police glocks" it came up with at least 6 sites selling them.

Post by: Bofire on March 24, 2017, 07:27:00 PM: :yeah: County Line Shooting sports in McKenna used to offer the Glock discount. I do not know if they still do.

If you're interested in sticking with glock this may not matter but FWIW the full size m&p 9mm is a great gun my father in law has one as well as others I know and have heard absolutely nothing but great things.

They also just came out with the m&p 2.0 series although I know nothing about this new line.
If I didn't already have other guns to fill the role, I'd buy an M&P. But the full size M&P is more similar to the Glock 19 than the Glock 17. Grabagun has new M&P 9's for $385 right now.

Post by: HighlandLofts on March 25, 2017, 11:14:04 PM: I like the 4th Gen Glock 17 feel in my hand, all of the Glock police trade in's I've seen on the sites are gen 3
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: b23 on March 26, 2017, 09:51:02 AM: I have a LNIB Glock Gen4 17 with the high capacity mags for sale if anyone is interested. I've put exactly one box through it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it and it could easily pass as new. Even though I have a couple Gen4 Glocks, I've come to the realization I'm just not a Glock guy and I much prefer my Sigs. PM me if you'd like more information or pics.

Post by: Miles on April 12, 2017, 12:20:52 PM: I just picked up a P320. I like the way it fits my hand, and being able to order different kits is really nice IMO.
Title: Re: P320 - Glock 17
Post by: Come Get Some on April 13, 2017, 08:13:42 PM: They did a shooting test with the SIG,Glock,Ruger and Springfield. They put as many projectiles in the barrel to simulate a round not completely leaving the barrel. The Glock exploded, as well as the others. The SIG had a small crack. That is with 4-5 projectiles forced down the barrel and a live round sent in right behind it. To simulate being jammed in the ground or mud. I have both and love both. What ever fits is what you should go with. Ususlly there is a reason law enforcement or the military goes with a certain product.
