Guest Posted June 11, 2010 I have some PPs coming up and I'm planning on use the first one on a 40 cal. I have narrow down my options to a Glock 22 Gen4, Sig 226 or XD40. I would like to read your thoughts and if anyone owns any of those it and wants to meet at BH to let me try them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

sirsloop 1 Posted June 11, 2010 Whats the pistol going to be used for? Have you held any of these yet to see how they fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 12, 2010 USPSA L10 division. I own a G19 and fits good on my hand and I've shot the XD45 and 226 in 9mm and love them both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted June 12, 2010 Go pick up every gun you like and see what fits. I like the Sig 226. Classic gun and solid platform. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the 226 in .40 and it's a great gun. Used to shoot the 226 in 9mm back in the day. Same great gun. I don't go to BH but if you want to go to CJR&P I'd be happy to let you give it a whirl.

Scottcba1 8 Posted June 12, 2010 I love my G22! Great fit & feel for me and my shooting ability and needs. Handles very well. Recoil is about the same as my Ruger SR9. No jams or issues and I purchased this gun used. I agree with previous posters....you have to handle as many of your choices as possible. Everybody has opinions but your the one laying out the money and the one who is gunna shoot it so you have to be comfortable and happy with whichever gun. Good luck! -Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sigman 41 Posted June 12, 2010 I suggest a Sig P226 in 40 S&W. My Sig shoots sweet. I shot a glock in .40 and I like the way the Sig handles the recoil better. There was something with the glock trigger digging into my finger which I didn't like. I have almost 2K rounds through mine and it runs flawless. I have an Equinox but the P226 Elite is sweet! I'll bring it to the next meet at the Bullet Hole if you want to shoot it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted June 12, 2010 I've fired a Glock 22 .40 S&W - was very nice, recoil was very controllable. If you've got a G19 you'll be very used to the Glock feel. That being said, I've also fired a Sig P226 9mm as well. As much as I liked the P226, I still prefer the Glock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted June 12, 2010 I have shot a 226 and it was a nice shooter. If your budget can afford a Sig you will not regret it. My wife has a XD40 and loves it. It is a nice gun as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow821 0 Posted June 12, 2010 I have the G22. First gun I've owned. Love it. Have never had an issue with almost 1500 rds through it. I just like the feel and simplicity of a glock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha.....1500 rnds, you sure? Is that can gone? :mrgreen: Shadow has a Glock and I have a P226 in 40. Your more than welcome to come down to Shore Shot on Tuesday nights when we meet up and fire mine. I assume Tony will be there also.. That way you can have both in your hands at the same time...well kinda. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteF 1,044 Posted June 12, 2010 I have an 226 Elite in 40. It is sweet. There is very little felt recoil as it is a big gun. Firing 9mm almost feel like a .22 off of this platform. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radek 73 Posted June 12, 2010 If you are interested, I have a Taurus PT940 SS in .40S&W. My first pistol, and I didn't try it before I bought it. Maybe 200 rounds through it. Now, I find taller grips and full-size pistols better suited for my hands. Trigger work done by gunsmith to smooth it out. This Taurus is a compact-mid size pistol. Looks like in the pic below. I can post real pics if interested. Will sell for $425, or better yet consider a trade (+/- $) for Beretta 92FS / M9 in 9mm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
