New handgun

[Guest JROB]

Okay I'm looking for a new handgun. I've been looking at the Springfield XD in .40 or the Sig 2022. Any thoughts on these or any others?

get another glock... or a pmr-30

I was very happy with my XD40sc, untill my wife decided she liked it.

I currently have a Glock 19 and a Walther PPS.  My next gun will be a Shield or a Walther PPQ.  The PPQ seems to rival the Glock in form and function.  

 

I don't know much about the ones you listed.

Dont know about the sig,handled one but never shot one.Felt good in my hands.Recently bought a xd sub compact 9 and its a keeper.

Rather than tell you what to buy, I'll tell you to find a range that rents handguns and give several a try, then buy the one you like best.  The old adage "One man's meat is another's poison" is very true.

There is really a lot of difference in both. The biggest one being a striker fired XD compared to a hammer fired Sig. The Sig is a little fatter but still carries ok. Magazines for the Sig will be a little bit more expensive and not quite as easy to come by.
Both guns are have a pretty good reputation and are worth the money. The Sig 2022's used to be a great value for under$400. I doubt you will find one for that price now.

This is the way to go.  Otherwise, go SIG!!

I love my S&W M&P 40c.

I absolutely love my Sig sp2022. I think for the money you get twice pistol. I have shot a sub compact 9mm xd and a 40 caliber xdm and.while they are nice I like my Sig better.

[peejman]

There's so many options out there, it's best to visit a range with some rentals and try them all.  Pick the one you shoot the best.

[Berettatn]

Apparently you like things short and extremely top heavy, I have a 5' 300lbs sister if your interested.

this is wrong in soooo many ways

Friggen hilarious.

 

I've actually thought about getting a full sized Glock.

 I've fired the Sig and the XD. The only thing I didn't like about the XD was the way you have to hold it to chamber a round.

Should be the same on all semi autos.  Pull slightly back on the slide and release to chamber a round.  Using the slide release is unnecessary.  I would recommend the XD if it's a choice between that and the Sig.  Same trigger pull each time as opposed to switching from DA/SA.  That screws up accuracy for most folks, even those who claim it doesn't.  Trigger pull, in my opinion, is the biggest contributer to accuracy problems.

A G19 will serve you well.

[itchytriggerfinger]

I have the XD tactical in 9mm and the p2022. Both are awesome guns. That's why I bought both. You should do the same :)

[Mykltn]

I've shot both the Sig and my brothers XD in .45 cap. In my opinion the XD was the better gun. His is a 5" barrel so wouldn't be my first choice for an EDC. Just my 2p-

[npgunner]

i'm a glock fan, would push you in that direction. not a fan of the sub-compacts a lot, i'd suggest a good compact like a 19 or a 23.

Take a look at the Smith & Wesson M&P line. I think you may find them better quality at about the same price. A plus is that they are made here by Americans instead of imported from Croatia if that matters to you.

The more I research the Sig SP2022, the more intrigued I am...
