Get a SIG Sauer. Trust me on this. The Secret Service, Navy Seals, and a plethora of other high speed low drag units use the SIG’s... These are guys the don’t go by the lowest bidder mantra.

I’ve been carrying a SIG P226 for well over a decade and I never have to worry about it not working or that it might Kb on me.

Avoid polymer frame handguns. They are susceptable to UV light which will make the polymer brittle over time. Or, as many of my customers say... fantastic plastic, the 20 year disposable handgun.

I've heard great reviews of both the Sig P226 and the HK USPC. They're about even on elite tactical unit usage. SEALs use the Sig. Special forces use the HK.

Jack Bauer used both ...

Jack and his Sig P228, circa Season 1 and 2.

Jack and his HK USPC 9mm, circa Seasons 3-8.

So, no help from Jack.

The US Marines and LAPD SWAT use Kimbers. That alone is not a reason to buy one.

Yeah about 20 years of constant exposure to UV light can cause degradation to plastics. Most guns spend lots of time in the dark so their exposure to UV light would never come close to long enough to affect their structural integrity. Not a very good argument at all.

My Glock 17 is at least a quarter century old and I am not aware of any differences in the polymer.
