| Can’t go wrong with either. However, there is way yonder more support for the 19. The SP2022 lacks a lot of support, but is likely the most accurate DA/SA gun on the planet. |

Who Woulda Ever Thought?
| Glock 19 for me. |

Ignored facts still exist
| several years ago I pondered the same choice, and ended up with the SP2022. I just like hammers.

| I agree either will do well for you. But since you are experienced with the 226, the transition to the 2022 would be very easy.

| The Glock is the “OBVIOUS” Choice as it’s a fantastic/hell iconic gun with a ton of support that isn’t going to wain anytime soon. That said I say go with the SIG. it’s the same manual of arms as your P226 and will likely have an even better trigger (all the SIGPRO’s I have handled have had wonderful triggers). These are great guns that simply came at a time when hammer fired was on the way out. And besides you can ALWAYS find a Glock to buy later if you desire.

This is how I look at it as well.

Res ipsa loquitur
| Both? I have G3 G19. It's the Toyota Camry of the gun world. The Sig 2022 example I tried had a trigger substantially worse than my P228. An example of one but it turned me off. The G19 is also a better CCW gun if that matters. And even though the French have bought a bajillion of them, I always wonder how long SIG USA will support a weapon. If it were me, I'd buy the Glock 19.

| OK do you want a DA/SA beater or a striker fired beater? Because that is all that matters here. A g319 is the quintessential definition of a beater since you can get every part every where. but operating system trumps that.

Learn it, know it, live it
| I'd go with the Glock, and if is simply a 'beater' get a G17 over a G19 if you're stuck with Gen 3. Unless the Gen 3 compact frame finger grooves fit your grip on the G19, they don't for me, but the Gen 3 G17 does. Best Gen of G19 IMHO is a Gen 2 with no grooves. Love my beater Gen 2 G17. One of my most accurate out of 10 Glocks I own. Paid $300 for her a LGS years ago. Or go ahead and move on up to the G45, the best of both worlds. G19 slide with a grooveless G17 grip... |

| Do you want something quite similar to what you already have or something rather different?
