Oh yes we’re going there.
For starters I’m A Glock guy and will continue to shoot them, but it seems like Glock’s stubbornness and/or inability to innovate will eventually catch up to them. Sig has come out with new products that are directly competing with Glock now and from my experience are on par if not better than Glock. Let’s take the sig 365 and the Glock 43/43x for example. Glock came out with the 43 and sig countered with the 365 which was easier to shoot (subjective) and held substantially more rounds without having to buy aftermarket base pads. What was Glock’s answer? The 43x which still didn’t have the capacity of the 365. If it weren’t for a 3rd party company doing the innovating by creating a 15rd mag then the 43x would fall short.
This year at SHOT, they release the G44. Fantastic a 22 sized Glock 19 for people who want to learn and such, but 3rd parties had already invented 22 conversion kits so again no real innovation. Granted, Glock pretty much has a 40yr head start, but SIG is starting to inch their way to the top. Glocks saving grace IMO is that there are just so many of them and if other people are like me, are too invest d in the platform (training tie spent, holsters, magazines, etc.)
