Hi i wanted the Sig P220 10mm in black. But they stopped making it i can get it in Camo. I want it for hog and deer hunting. But i look the the Glock 40 10mm one i look at came with bases for optics . I love the way the Sig fits my hand the 40 is a little big. Anybody on here have either one and can help me out. The 40 is 689.00 and the 220 is 1180.00. Will take all the help i can get thanks.
 
The Glock 40 isn't a Sig P220, and if you love the Sig grip feel, you'll probably hate the Glock feel.

I love Sig's. I hate Glocks, but I rely upon them to defend my life because they do exactly what they should, and it wouldn't break my heart if I lost one as evidence - losing a Sig might...
 
If you prefer the Sig, get the Sig. I am not sure about AR, but some states require a minimum of a 6" barrel on a hunting pistol. Glock got that memo, Sig may not have, or may not have cared.

This probably doesn't matter, but the Sig weighs over 10 ounces more, and has only an 8+1 mag capacity. The Glock is a 15+1 capacity pistol, but that accounts for the larger grip size.

I am not a Sig fan, but when it comes to pistols, it just costs one more money when not buying the one you really want. So get the Sig, and try not to hurt your face smiling big when you turn that 10mm loose.

You could always get a Sig 1911 and put a 460 Rowland barrel in it. They have nearly 44mag ballistics, which will trump the 10mm but you'll lose the high capacity part so if that hangs you up get a Glock 21 and put a 460 Rowland barrel in that. I'm not sure if they do a 460 Rowland conversion on the Sig 220 but if they do, that'll take care of your needs as well.

If we're gonna go there, you could always get a Para Ord in 40 and convert to 10 mm, or in 45 and convert to 460 Rowland. I believe RIA has hi cap frames out now too in 1911 config., and some factory 10mm's....FWIW.

That said, if you really like the Sig's, get it.
 
I pick up the Glock magazine today to read more about it. In Arkansas the min is 4 inch. I have a 1911 45 Springfield i killed a deer with. The gunshop said if i went with the Glock i could put a good optic on it for the price of the Sig by its self. I am reading more about the 40. I like the 6 inch barrel. Is a Glock hard to load for. I have a 40 s &w RCBS 40 /10mm die. I just want to keep my shots under 25 yds or less. I seen a lady shooting 3 gun. Had the Glock in 9mm with a optic hiting a 10 inch steel plate at 85 yds. Ican get a Kber 1911 10mm nice one new for 940.00. I have nevdr owned a Glock just Springfield Sig's. But i will buy what will work. As long as it put the hogs and deer down. I fount a used black one i could buy a new black or camo off gunbroker for the price the guy wanted for the used one. The Glock comes with 3 15 RDS magazines bases for opics. Sig comes with 2 8 rd magazines target sites. What way would ya go. I am plaining on putting up to 1500.00 in it and keep it for life. Thanks.
 
I love my Sig's. But I went with a glock 20. Glocks are the ar of the pistol world. Tons of extras and you can do it all yourself
 
Have you ever shot a Glock? If not, you might want to shoot one before getting one to hunt with. I have three Glocks but it took me awhile to get use to that striker fire trigger.
Glocks are not necessarily hard to load for, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind.

1. If your going to shoot lead, you can have some trouble with Glock rifleing.

2.Glocks chamber is not as well supported as some other manufacturers and you can get some bulging on hot loads. They have improved over the years but my stock Gen4 G20 barrel chamber is not nearly as well supported as the Lone Wolf barrel that I have.

I've got a Glock 20, works every time no matter what I feed it with. It's a pretty accurate handgun and I'd figure the 40 would be just as accurate or maybe better. Rock Island has a hi-cap 10mm with 6" barrel and adjustable rear sights in a 1911 configuration that has a match barrel and a very good trigger also.
 
My first 10mm was a S&W 1006. I don't know if it was me or the gun, but I couldn't hit anything with it. The gun was big for my hand and I was a revolver guy . I loved the 10mm caliber so I saved and traded into a Kimber Eclipse 10mm. I hunted with it for a couple years and shot deer with it. It fit my hand well.Then the unthinkable happened. I was bitten by the trade bug and the only gun in the safe that was not being used that much was the Kimber. A mistake that I still and will ALWAYS regret. I traded it. About five years went by and I wanted another 10mm. This time I had to settle for the Glock G20 because of cost. I am still trying to get use to the striker fire trigger.The Glock is a reliable and affordable gun... But it's no Kimber. Bottom line is as stated above. Shoot the Glock first. If you can wait and have the $$$, buy the Sig. It took me years to find out ..... Good things come to those who wait !!
 
Check out Rock Islands 1911 10mm my friend bought one and I could not tell the difference in it and a 45 it's an amazing shooting gun I could shoot it all day and it not bother me a bit. But as said in a previous comment might want to check barrel size limits for hunting. I would really look at the rock island though. They arnt very pricey either.
 
For hunting, I'd definitely want a single action trigger. I'd look at a 1911 style. I have a Kimber Eclipse and would love to hunt with it, if 10mm were legal here.
 
I'm certainly no expert on Glocks and I've got a G20 Gen4 but I don't believe there is such a thing as a G20 Gen4 SF, I believe the G20 SF is a Gen3.

I definitely prefer the lighter pull of a single action but I also like my Sigs that are SA/DA better than just SA only.

I know you can put a trigger kit in the Glocks and I'm considering doing it to my G20 and G17 but how much do they honestly lower the pull rate? I think they're around 5.5-6lbs from the factory and they claim to lower the trigger pull 2 lbs but is that marketing or do they really lower the pull rate that much??
 
Proud owner of a 41, second largest Glock on the market behind the 10mm 40. It's a 5" barrel, and is a "range" or "target" pistol in the same class as the 40. The slide is skinnier to compensate for a longer overall length. It's comfortable, fires anything everytime, and the capacity on it is something I would bet my life on when hog hunting. Me personally, I'd use a revolver magnum caliber, for the ballistic performance on game, and rolling the dice with half the capacity of the mentioned semis.
