Mmm not sure that’s how it works but it sure helps lol
Sugar is sugar, it's all poison.
If you have a sick fascination with mentally ill mass murderers and the various tools they employ, you are at the wrong TH-cam channel.
Agreed
I understand teenagers about as well as anybody; I WAS one back in the day, and I taught them for 29 years. Still, some of the brainlessness one sees in comments about sick murderers is a bit over the top and a bit sad. So many folks in the world need something constructive to do. :-)
@@hickok45 yes it’s disgusting
Well said. Hope nobody tries to defend the vile actions taken by that boy days ago.
I never did see it, and it was probably just some troll using his name anyway.
I dont buy a handgun until ive seen hickok's review of it.
Thats how I was when debating my CCW. Saw a bunch of videos from hickok45, and decided for sure. Been happy ever since.
Nice, and what did you go with? Unfortunately in canuckastan we can only use them at a range. Canada likes to make sure only the criminals can ccw.
Haha, I ended up getting a Glock 27.
Eww nice. Only way we can get one is with an ugly 4+ inch barrel sticking out of it. Picking up a px4 storm this weekend. Obviously I watched his 2 part series on it.
Its the way to go. Good choice by the way. His review is solid for that gun.
I have a Sig SP2022. It works. Great gun. Not as easy and intuitive as the Glock, but when you get used to it, you realize it's better.
All you have to do with a Glock is load it and fire , basic !!! My 2022 fits my hand perfectly and holds 18 rounds with the Mec Gar plus 2 mags !!!
Jay B so which is better?
And here I was thinking it was better then a glock haha.
@@bj6437 sigs, especially the sp2022, with sig you get the firing pin and a little pin in the slide to tell you if there's a round in the chamber with glock its all guess, no safety at all.
Glocks suck, they’re ugly
"I don't shoot it as well..." goes 5 for 5 on the gong.
That's Hickok45 for ya. :)
I was always a glock guy. I told a friend who asked me about the sig. I told him "If they made one weighing less than a brick, polymer, and as cheap as a glock, you bet!" Once I discovered this beauty, it became my permanent carry. First shot on the range, I nailed bullseye at 50 yards. It's eaten everything from tula to federal with zero failures.
This is the most respectful video I've ever seen of someone saying "I don't like this gun"
Lol hes sponsored by glock but what's your opinion on the sp2022?
@@jdmtein1704 haven't shot one yet but I've seen it in store and held it, its smaller gun than what I'm used to but it feels good and I'm a big fan of polymer frames
From what I've seen on TH-cam it's appears very accurate and fun to shoot
I'm actually going to purchase one on the 28th this month ( soonest I can get one thanks to corona virus craze) once I've shot it, I'll update you here
Also my favorite handgun is the Glock 20sf 10mm, it fits my hands perfectly and I'm able to get great accuracy despite the recoil
Way back in November 2008 I was feeling a little down in the dumps, so I stopped by the local gun store to look around. I came across a 2022 in .40 and loved how it felt. Took it home and don't regret it one bit. Dead accurate and never so much as a hiccup after all these years. Fantastic gun for the money for sure.
After owning a Sig 226 for many years, the Sig 2022 is just as viable a choice for self protection - regardless of price, polymer frame and popularity - as the Sig 226, and after all is said and done, IT'S STILL A SIG, MAN!
How does it compare to the Sig Sauer p226? The 225 and 226 is my dream gun but the price for them is a bit too high for me so is this a good choice for a similar gun maybe even better for half the price of a 226?
IMO the SIG SP2022 is the worlds most underrated pistol.
I've had mine for years now and have never had an issue.
Same here... I love my SP2022 in 9mm.
rickkyross1
I had the same problem... groups were low.
I changed my sights to a #8 front & a #10 rear.
Shots hit exactly behind the front sight dot now.
rickkyross1 Yes, I have the 9mm, not the 40 cal.
rickkyross1
First let me say after looking at my sights again I see the front is a #8 and the rear is a #10. The numbers I gave previously are the stock sizes that come on the 40 cal.
I purchased a Sig Sauer factory original sight kit that came with like 7 different sights of various sizes but I don't recall the place I ordered the kit from.
I know you can call Sig Sauer and order them that way but I also found another place that sells them individually.
www.topgunsupply.com/sig-sauer-sights/
It's nice to have the kit though so you can experiment with the sizes until you come up with a combo that works best.
Hope this helps.
rickkyross1 I am not the best shooter to ask this, Both of my SIGS (SP2022 9mm and P226R 40S&W) are very accurate and seem to shoot where I point them. Sorry I am not any help...
the single action trigger on a sig will beat a glock trigger pull any day - to me that trumps having every trigger pull "the same" - just a matter of training
Fantastic gun!! Great that we have so many firearms to choose from. Metal frame, polymer frame, DA/SA, Striker fired, SAO, DAO, compact, full size, duty size, carry size...
Life is good!
Hey, it's my pistol! Thanks for reviewing this, Hickok!
he threw it on the table like a baseball.
Johnny Doe Don't matter, it's a SIG. You could throw it in a meat grinder and it would still make the boolitz come out.
That's what I'm talking about. A gun is a tool to be used and abused not to show at BBQ's and show off to your friends! The more war scars the better! I throw my $3,000 1911's all over the place!
James Darmody What's a car for? Can it be a work truck? Can it be for commuting? Exhibition? Collection? Aaaah... see what I'm getting at?
what size grip did you have installed?
Hickok 45 : Have you ever gotten Slide bite by a any Glock. you will never get bitten by a Sig Sauer
Official gun used by French law enforcement. One of the Paris terrorist and Nice's truck driver were shot with that gun.
Jeremy .V you could say its a "Truck gun"...
Alex Boswell oh lord
Same here for the Colombian law enforcement(Policia nacional de Colombia)
And some Mexican Special Forces units use them too
Alot of cops in Illinois use them to.
My first firearm. Bought it 3 years ago. I’ve put close to 1000 rounds through it and not a single issue. Love it.
$300 bucks, 5000 rds,no failures, bought used wtf.....
Bought mine new 449.00
@@waynepuffer8999 what are your thoughts. I am looking at buying one
@@yoleau131 estimating. How many rounds have you shot? How many malfunctions?
Kabian Phoenix I own a 2022 I really like mine it’s alot lighter then my 226 . But my 226 mk 25 is my favorite. Either way it’s a solid hand gun
@@garrettboykin9855 perfect. Thank you.
This was my first semi-auto. And the more semis I buy the more I like the 2022. If you are not married to a striker fire, this is really an awesome pistol.
Don’t let the price fool you, but the sp 2022 is a really fine gun. I have the 40 sw and nothing has broke on it. It’s not sexy like the 226, but it’s really a work horse! It has fewer parts than the 226. It has some resemblance to the cz75 in reference for it’s take down. This is undeniably a reliable firearm.as far as accuracy, it’s all about the shooter’s proficiency level. Btw, I have the p226 also, and I wish the mags were inter-changeable.
I was a Glock fan til I shot a sig. I love the 2022. like you said it fits my hand very well. thanks for all your videos.
dale smith I've not had that issue. mine is 9mm I shoot the cheap stuff. perfecta and tulammo. no issues yet.
The one time I tried perfecta I had random short stroking with my sp2009, I could definitely feel inconsistency with the recoil from round to round. Figured its not cheap enough to give it a second chance, and its the only 9mm to ever give me problems.
Snakesht172 I have it chambered in 40 SW the only time I had a failure to feed was with perfecta ammo. every magazine I fired, 2-3 of 10 failed to fully seat. I kept those that didn't fully seat. upon closer inspection, the casing on the bullets seemed really grimy and looked as if the casings were sanded with fine grit sand paper. I think it caused resistance on the feed ramp. never had any issues with cheap white box Winchester or tulammo. I use the slide stop to reload. if that makes any difference. never bought Perfecta again... :( going to try it in my shield in 9mm though.
Brandon Davis I've had issues with Remington hollow points. same failure to feed. just less times one to three bullets a box. they came in 250 pack. from all the FTFs I had, my feed ramp got all scratched up, I had to polish it. took the magazines apart and cleaned them up and coated them with light oil. (haven't cleaned them in over 2000 rounds) I'll give them another try.
I bought my dad an SP2022, shot a couple mags and immediately sold my glock 19 to get my own. I found a barely used one online for only $300.
Y’all have to remember this is a duty war pistol, not really meant for concealment even tho you can conceal it. Got it for my first home defense pistol and it feels solid!
Wars outside everyday
I carry mine everyday!! Won’t leave home with out it! 9mil.
@@shake1602you ain’t lying
Sig 2022 conceals very well with a pancake holster. I also have a Blackhawk Serpa which works good too.
I was using mine for home defense but it's too big for my wife. So back to the shield.
I bought a used Sig Sauer SP2022 .40 S&W and tried it out at the store where I bought it. It fits my hand perfectly; it's a little thick but I prefer my guns that way. Always wanted a Sig but didn't want to 'sell the farm' to get one. I ran two mags through it and discovered that you have to aim a little high because it is designed for combat type targets, not dead on sight shooting. Once I figured that out I started being much more accurate. Sometimes referred to as a 'Poor Man's Sig' or the 'Forgotten Sig' but more than gets the job done; I'm very happy with it!!!
I just placed an order for my sp2022 with night sights today and cannot wait to get my hands on it. My first handgun I will own.
Mathew Festoff Just got it and I am in love. Love the DA/SA option. Feels perfect in my hands and shoots like a dream for half the price of a 226. Shooting better with the 2022 than I did with a 226
Mathew Festoff Just got mine last month on sale for $400 with 2 mags and regular 3 dot sights. I bought it just to have a 9mm around since I shoot mostly .40. I love this pistol - breakdown is different but not bad after a couple of times. I have no trouble with the trigger that Hickok did. Better than some of the higher priced guns I have bought.
+Scott Smith Where?
My first handgun two bought it back in may and It feels great one of my favorite handguns to shoot
How do you like it?
Just a quick note. He's having to shoot high because Sigs are combat sighted. That means that the CENTER of your front sight needs to be lined up on center mass as opposed to pig on the post type sighting where you line up the TOP of your front sight on center mass. Nice review I have recently gotten an SP2022 as well & enjoy it so far.
tank0211 thinking of this sig. I just bought a p230 full size in .40 . what grips did you get medium or large?
tank0211
I find myself saying this all the time watching gun videos. Sig and a few others use this once you get used to it it makes so much sense.
Wouldn’t that make him shoot low?
@@cameronmccoy5051 No; if he's used to holding the sights under the target with a Glock, the same hold would cause him to hit low with a SIG. So in order to hit the target, he has to hold "high" compared to what he's used to.
Of all the guns I've owned and shot, I was most accurate with the SP 2022. Love the sights and grip, and the trigger in single action is super smooth. Also, of course, it's built like a tank.
I actually sold my Glock 19 and purchased a Sig SP2022. I don't regret it at all. My Glock was wonderful and served me well, but in my opinion the Sig is built with higher quality parts, and comes standard with many features that you don't get with a factory Glock. I also prefer having a double action/single action over striker fired. Just my opinion, but I'm glad I made the switch.
I have the Sig P250 sub-compact which is DAO. I was thinking of switching to a DA/SA. I was at a gunshop not too long ago checking the SP2022 out and I noticed that it has a very loose hammer. Did some research and supposedly it's called a rebounding hammer and there's nothing wrong with it. But it just didn't sit well with me. I was wondering does your SP2022 have this same rebounding loose hammer and has it caused any issues for you?
+Almir Alamgir Bey Yes mine does have a rebounding hammer, but mine actually seems to be pretty secure. I've had no issues with it. After putting a few hundred rounds down range with various types of ammunition I've never had any issues. I definitely recommend it if you are considering buying one. (Definitely get the version with night sights. They are the best out-of-the-box night sights I've ever seen)
shane smentek I have one and love it!
What does this video have to do with Glock pistols? Nothing, yet there’s a hundred comments talking about Glock, about how this gun is so much better than Glock, how Glock is heinous looking and yadda yadda.
In every video about a pistol in this channel and others, people talk about Glock and insult it, it really says a lot about how good and successful a product is when people try constantly to talk badly about it when mentioning other products that are similar that they try to promote, to reassure their own choice of pistols. Glock is the standard of polymer pistols, it’s the boss
shane smentek my 40 cal 2022 has thousands of rounds through it and even clean it yet wich I know it needs it and it hasn't let me down yet. My opinion it's the best bang for your buck type of gun for sure
Definitely considering buying this weapon. It will be my first handgun and personal firearm.
You will love the sig p2022 i have both G19 & the sig , i love both guns
I loves mines
This is the best pistol I have ever owned
I love it and trust it with my life.
I would suggest polishing the feeder ramp.
I do this to all my pistols.
After doing this it will run the cheapest ammo I could find without any issue at all. 0 failure at all with this weapon
I really appreciate your love for firearms. Your detailed videos have helped me select my next gun. Just bought this today
Thank you for protecting us from high fructose corn syrup! I love your videos that start like this, well I love all your videos but the ones that start like this crack me up!
HFCS. Nice target. The Devils Piss that stuff is.
I have the TACPac version of the SP2022. Came with the light/laser, Holster, Reloader, Night Sights, etc... for $510 from Buds (they raised the price to $570 right after I bought mine).
Perfect home-defense setup at a great price.
Typical SIG high bore axis which takes some getting used to.
Only ONE Mag included. WTF SIG.
I've also had an issue with the light turning on by itself when firing at the range. I will call SIG about that.
Other than the 1 Mag thing, great value!
Oh, one other thing. I have yet to get more than 14 rounds into the "15" round Magazine. I counted and you only got 14 into each Mag as well.
GRIP: The medium grip is installed by default. There is a larger grip in the box, and a smaller grip is available from SIG.
lol, You're my favorite gun channel, hands down. You really really hate Sig's but you are so dang nice that you won't just go full postal on them. As a SIG lover, I appreciate it very much. Keep 'em comin, Hickock!
I don't hate them; in fact, I would not mind having the P226 again. Great shooter, I recall the last video we did with the P226. I wanted to run out and buy one after that. :-) With the 9mm, the high bore axis is not so much an issue.
hickok45
I too hope to own a P226 someday. :) Personally, I couldn't care less about having a high bore axis, or a low bore axis. It's all about how it feels in my hand. To me, Sig's just feel significantly better and much more refined.
hickok45
Did you ever shoot a P226 X-Five or do you consider shooting one? I like it even a little more than the regular P226, I'd love to see a review of that one!
unitedgray
Agreed. Totally. Glocks are too minimalistic in my eyes and i like to have a hammer. Sig rules.
Rett TeamGlidden when you assume Hickok hates sig but he comments back differently lol don’t assume things...
Even in past videos he has talked about how he had sigs in the past and sold them and mainly did competition with Glocks. Doesn’t mean he hates Sigs, the Glocks and other guns just feel better for him
Sig Sauer sp2022 blows away blocks 😃total Sig fan boy here 😉
I've the Sig SP2022 chambered for the .40 S&W and I absolutely love it. I changed out the grips and feels great in my smaller hands. I've put nearly 1000 rounds through it with no issues at all.
I have just ordered one of these in CA. I am not nearly as experienced as you, but I like the feeling of a "real" gun. I wanted to buy a Glock G3 17 (the most updated we can buy in CA). I tried one out at the range I belong to, and it was a cheap-feeling "rattle trap" in my opinion. Admittedly, it was a range- owned gun, but Glock has a reputation of being trouble free, even after going through thousands of rounds. The Glock 17 jammed at least once or twice on every one of the 5 mags (of 10 rds) I went through. Someone told me I could have been limp-wristing it, but I don't have that problem with either one of my 2 CZs. I guess a plastic gun may need to be gripped differently. I'll admit that the Glock was quite accurate when it didn't jam... I will also be picking up my new Sig P226 before I get through the upcoming 30-day waiting period for the SP2022 I just paid for. I have fired a P226 and liked it. I like the feeling of the SP2022, probably because it is heavier than a Glock 19. Looking forward to adding the 2 Sigs to my quiver, with my 2 CZs (a PCR and a 75 BD) - which I love. Each to his own. Thanks for the review.
The SP2022 in .40 was my first semi-auto firearm and I've never regretted the decision. I agree that they do have a high bore axis and the muzzle flip takes some gettin' used to, but they are indeed accurate. Thanks a bunch for posting another OUTSTANDING video!!!
This gun is more akin to a SIG P229 than a P226. Size close to a Glock G19.
No. It shoots 40 just like my p226 40. Nothing comes close to my p229 in 40. It's closer in length to the 226 as well.
Sig SP2022 ROCKS..! Got mine one year ago. I Prefer it to my Gen II/ G19. The SIG is more ergonomic and more accurate for me.
THANK YOU for doing the REVIEW!!! I have 2 SIGS the SP2022 and a P226 I love them both. But The SP2022 is my First 9mm Pistol, it is a good conceal carry piece for me.
After watching hickock45 for so many many years. I only hope he will be around more so I can show my children his videos and with gun safety and gun reviews. And to teach them. Love you buddy. Keep on keeping on.
Absolutely hated my old sp2022.
Worst trigger I've ever experienced imo..
Reliable and accurate though.
Most likely just didn't fit me right
Also no aftermarket support
Rwliable and accurate.
Allll I needed to know 😂
As long as it doesn't go off by itself like it's cousin...
Damn you Hickok..... Just went and bought one. Love it.
I can’t lie , I bought my Sig SP2022 without knowing a single thing about it. That being said I’ve got Walthers , Glocks , S&W’s and various other pistols. I try to switch up my daily carry guns pretty often but for some strange reason I always find myself going back to my Sig SP2022 for my daily carry piece. It’s definitely not the greatest gun I own but there is just something about it that I love. Not to mention I can put all 16 rounds in a 1 1/2 inch circle at 7 yards consistently. Now that’s not rapid fire of course but still. I just love the damn thing. Now the negatives. Try and find any accessories for it , I dare ya. It’s not very supported by the aftermarket unfortunately. But I trust my life with the little thing. I’ve put it through every dirt , sand and mud test that every gun tuber has had videos on and full of sand , mud or whatever it’s always fired and I think I had one small failure to go fully into battery when it was full of sand but I was able to slap it home and it continued to fire and lock open on an empty mag. And no I’m not trying to get anything free from Sig for this advertisement for them. LOL
There have been a few revisions of this. The newer ones do not have that chambered round indicator and the trigger is better. One thing not mentioned was that this was designed for use with or without gloves on hince the large trigger guard. Shooting other guns with thick gloves on isnt near as comfortable as with the SP2022. Good review but I wish you'd had the newer version and one in .40 S&W. IMO it shines in the .40 version.
I walked into a gun store, was looking at the glock 42 .380, the guy also showed me this, as soon as I put it in my hand, I just fell in love with it, it came with 3 mags, holster, I don't use that holster, I bought a Blackhawk holster for it, but yea I traded my m&p 9 that day and never looked back, love this gun. Good review, one of the other reasons why I bought it!
That’s funny. Those are the only two guns that I own, the G42 and this SP2022 in 9mm. Still haven’t fired the Sig, but I love how it feels in my hand. Just ordered the 17 round mag from their site 😁
Hey Hickok! Thanks for this review! I've recently purchased a sig sp2022 in 9x19...for carry. Personally,I like the high bore access and the DA/SA option...I'm a fan of a hammer vs. striker fire firearm... Personal choice. Also, I'm big like you and DO use the large grip...the problem for me is that the G19 causes rail burn. Like you, I'd never knock a Glock. The are as reliable as they come and deserve their place at the top. At the time of my purchase, the vendor had the G19 & the SP2022 ... FOR ME the sig was perfect. Paid just over 500 because I purchased extra magazines. Anyway, TYVM for all you do for the shooting sports. This comment is nothing more than my experience and $.02. Keep up the awesome work. -Ben E.
I own both the Glock 19 and this SP2022. Bought them both brand new and I've run thousands of rounds through them both. I've never had a single failure from either of them. Of the two, I open carry the Sign while the Glock sits at home. It just fits better in my hand, is more comfortable to shoot, I'm slightly more consistent with it, and I just like it more overall. By far the best value for dollar in a gun I've ever had.
I own them all, Glocks (3) Sigs (4) Berettas (7) and i like them all.
I went for my nightly walk in the woods with my Dog tonight, it's my exercise routine, guess which Gun i had on Me , my Sig pro 2009. Thats how much confidence i have in that Gun.
Glocks are great but they do not fit my hand or point well for me. For the people new to firearms never buy a gun because it is inexpensive , buy a gun because it fits you well and YOU shoot it well.
Raymond Dillon lucky you that you can go in the woods with a gun, we can't here in europe... :(
I am the opposite I love the feel and mechanics of Sig's, but the grip angle doesn't allow me to shoot my p226 .357 as well at speed as Glock (21&17) or s&w.
Raymond Dillon
Excellent point; if a gun doesn't feel good in your hand you won't want to shoot it... especially if you have other guns to choose from.
I bought a gun because it was cheap. It was my only one for a year. I sold it for almost what I payed, and got something I like (sp2022). Less than another year later, I own another that I love (p938), and 2 that I’m looking to sell. Nothing wrong w getting something because it’s cheap. You get to have a gun instead of not having one. You learn what you like and don’t like. And they maintain value well.
Got one of these yesterday and so far I'm impressed. Groups well right out of the box, excellent ergonomics and nary a bobble with factory FMJ or HP reloads. I had heard SIGs are sighted in low but mine hits well above my 6 o'clock hold, maybe a bit higher than I'd like. It's almost exactly the same size as my M&P 9 although it looks bigger at first glance.
The slide release looks like something you could change truck tires with but it works much better than a lot of tinier designs. Takedown looks tricky but as Hickok demonstrates it's not bad at all.
There were some good deals on striker pistols but I was specifically looking for a hammer fired SA/DA pistol. $469 without night sights, I am pleased. My first SIG as well.
I was a bit concerned that MidwayUSA has so little in holsters and parts for this pistol but they are out there. Just have to look a little harder.
Grips come in large (the vid shows med.) and X-large overmold rubber. I have 5 of these paid
the Danish Army still use Sigs guns called the m/49. it is a Sig p210.Many people love that gun I know.
Just brought one @ 200 from friend with 3 mags and kydex holster life is good indeed
Functions great, clean everything even hammer springs, polished feed ramp didn't need to but it's a thing I like to do, helps with failures. But yes a steal indeed. Came with night sights too. Thanks for commenting 😁
Mec-gar makes 17 round hi caps for the 9mm 2022 , you can rely on them because Mec-gar is the one who makes the mags for Sig factory mags. Always enjoy your vids...thanks for sharing.
avid watcher and hope you at least read this but was curious if you can review a chiappa rhino that would be great
Sure is a handsome looking firearm tho would you agree?
We chose it (in France) for its many safety devices. It equips police, gendarmes and customs.
TheGameLecturer because officers are under trained.
Sufficient and quality training is the only real security
It's cheap. I bet that's the major reason.
@@Obelisk57 Not only that. SP series is esentially as much SIG, as you can get in a polymer frame handgun...
@@tinderexperience8869 What a pompous reply...
I used to carry a P229 and a Glock 22. I've been carrying this for almost six months now. It did take some getting used to. It's not like my P229. Would I rather carry a G19 gen 4? Absolutely, but there's a certain trust built with the 2022 that it's hard to let go. It's very accurate, I know the gun goes bang, and it really handles a weapon light well. I've had problems with my Glock 22.
Reliability is what I can attest to the 2022. It's definitely one of the best out there. It's not the most comfortable CCW weapon, but if I needed to defend my life. The 2022 I would go to without question.
Don't pass up the opportunity to get one of these. I know the craze now is the P320. But the P320 doesn't have the charm that the SP2022 has.
The 2022 Sig is the Sig Pro. I bought mine for $399 NIB in 2012. The Sig Pro 2022 has been around since 1998.I have shot thousands of rounds through mine and maybe had 3 stove pipes.
Owned this gun for a few months now, put maybe 600-700 rounds through it with no issues whatsoever. It's a really great gun, super accurate! Bought the tac pac on sale for $500
I love all of your videos! So nice to have an honest man tell the truths!

Sig2022's are distributed to French police officers like Glocks are here in the US. I was talking to a few cops on the street in Lyon and they didn't seem very thrilled about the 2022.
Thank you for the great review as always. I love my Sig 2022 hopefuly 226 is next.🍺
So, I walked into my local shop today, confident in choosing the G19 as my first handgun, knowing without a doubt that my "research" had yielded a winning choice. Lo and behold, I was wrong, according to everyone behind the counter, as well as multiple other patrons within earshot ( most prior Feds and PSD) and by the time i left, I had the receipt for a 2022 in hand.
IMO, after handling the Glock i feel like i'd accidentally shoot myself, I've only trained on the M9 with the Army and that G's featherweight trigger is unnerving... maybe that's just me.
Well, the Sig 2022 should serve you fine, but in the future I'd try to block out all the Gun Shop Commando advice. It's a bit like going into an auto parts store and asking what the best oil is. You'll have lots of strong opinions and maybe even various haters. Then of course, you also have the fact that the profit margin on some firearms is higher for the shop. The profit margin on Glocks is not that much; I know that for a fact, so very few shops are going to push them. You're fine, though; the Sig is a good gun, and if you are uncomfortable with a particular trigger, or are not ready for it yet, it's best to avoid it. Congratulations on your first handgun! Enjoy!
hickok45 Hey, thank you, seriously... It makes sense, I am quite happy with my Sig and probably will get a G19 for my third, after i get a .357 SW which actually started as my first choice. I'm just wondering why there was so much disapproval from the peanut gallery when it's another polymer, but a lot that drew me to the G was that I've found continuous positive reviews and really know one that could prove flaws. I just kinda figured that if the dealer's trying to get me to spend less for the Sig, unless there's some accounting trick that I'm unaware of, it seemed legit....
Infinite Forms Glocks been #1 for so long. Like everything else in the world. Everybody wants to be were they are, and they will do what they will have too to get there. Glock only sets up in two shows a year (Shot and NRA annual show). With 80%+ police carrying glocks and just recently the marines they don't need to push there products. I know for a fact that. Most manufactures requirer the store to order so many to be a authorized dealer. And they have target numbers to hit for more incentives. Glock doesn't play that game.
I like them both. I like to think the Glock as a workhorse and the sig workhorse/show horse.
MrAwesome glock I see what you're saying... thanks for the input

What comment
Someone please tell me what comment
I got my 2022 in .40 for $415 with night sights NIB. I was short for cash at the time and couldn't even find a used Glock 23 at that price especially with night sights.
i own this model & have fired at least 1500 rounds thru it & never had a misfire - good gun + kick
FWIW, I got mine for $420 after tax and fees in July of 2012. 2700+ rounds and still going strong.
Back in the 90's they were the Sig pros, they're really not bad for the price and makes a good duty firearm for LE and armed security .
6' 8"??? Freaken Giant!!! Lol
I like the SP2022. 2nd best grip I've ever held, just behind the HK P30.
I dry-fired one and an CZ 75 P08 and the CZ had a trigger I liked better but I bought the SIG. It was the night-sight, threaded bbl version.
Really wanted a sig but not a $1000 price tag. Saw this gun in 9 and 40 for around $450. Got the 40 and absolutely love it. This gun makes more trips with me to the range than anyother ones I own.
+J Muhr Me too! I found a .40 for $450 and snatched it up. I fired about 200 rounds over the weekend and love it!
The SP2022 in 9mm was my first handgun. To date, I have put ~10k rounds through it. The only modification I've done is to replace the plastic recoil guide rod with a stainless one. It is a great gun and is more accurate than I am. In 10k rounds, I have yet to have a malfunction of any kind, even with throwing hollow points down range while its extremely dirty. I'd stake my life on it.
About 2 years ago I made the switch to a Sig sp2022 chambered in 40S&W from a Sig P220 for my duty gun. We carry concealed and of course the weight difference between a Sp2022 and a P220 is very noticeable, not to mention welcome. The weapon is accurate and reliable. The SP2022 is often referred to as the Forgotten Sig. But as it is now 2018 more and more people are starting to see this sig as a most viable option.
Indeed.
Compared to other semi-autos, way too difficult to field strip take-down and reassemble. Even Hickok45 had some difficulty and he is the King of Review. I won't buy one of these guns for sure.
I finally figured out what is the most crowning feature of a plastic gun, if you ever had to really use it, the cops are going to take it away from you and call it evidence. Now they will keep it for how ever long the want to. My friend lost his colt for 6 years, when he got it back it was all scratched up and looked like they used the hell out of it. I would rather loose one of these plastic wonders then one of my good ones.
good
colt
pick one.

I love my Sig 2022 9mm. Solid gun, good balance with a loaded mag. The price was excellent and several hundred rounds later, not one single issue. No FTE, FTF. Well worth the $$ I paid for it.
Hey hickok45. I just wanted to say that I enjoy your videos and how they help me choose which fire-arm I would like to purchase in the future. Because I am only 19, I cannot purchase one yet, but I still watch your videos because they can help me practice gun safety in the future and what firearm I would like to use for when I into law enforcement after I graduate college. In short, I would just like to say thank you for your advise on firearms and your dedication to making your videos; keep up the great work.
Thanks, and good luck with your career. As you enter law enforcement, I hope you'll not fall into that undesirable "us vs them" mentality we see sometimes in law enforcement circles. Just remember that the politicians and police work for us.
By the way, don't know where you live, but in Tennessee a 19-year-old cannot buy a handgun legally from an FFL dealer; however, it is not illegal to OWN a handgun. IT's just that an FFL dealer cannot sell a handgun to someone your age. You might look into that in your state. My son owned a Glock 19 well before he was 21.

Here in AZ it's the same way. I was able to open carry, which I wasn't too fond of but did anyways (better than not carrying at all). On top of that it was a big ol' Beretta 92. I'm so glad I learned that law early because I got a good start on my firearms training/using. My family didn't raise me around them so I taught myself and I'm so glad I utilized those three years to get through that initial "Firearms For Dummies" place in my learning.
hickok45 Do not worry, I will not fall into it. I support open and conceal carry, and that every US citizen has the right to protect his or herself.
hickok45 Oh yes I forgot to mention, I am from the Cleveland, Ohio area.
Eric Huff that’s wassup me to it’s crazy I’m 20 and finding his Chanel this was 3 years ago so I dnt know how your career went but if you are a cop wat district
Own both a P226 and an SP2022, to go along with a variety of other handguns, and I like the SP2022 alot. It's a shooter and goes to the range often, the P226 comes out occasionally along with the 92F, but they are older and I want to keep the round counts low.
As to Glock vs. Sig vs. Beretta: It's all about how a gun feels in my hand. The Glocks are fine guns, but never liked how they felt. It's a personal thing. Like they say, "The best gun for you is the one you shoot best."
I was comparing these exact same two handguns. I liked the sig due to the extended buttons as well as the mags being spring assisted to pop out. The high bore doesn't pinch my hands too.
I don't know if anyone one ells notices, but the camera person is good!.. just throwing that out there
Yeah he is. I think it's his son.
I just purchased a two-tone model for $389 shipped from PSA. I jumped on the deal after viewing this video.
You do indeed have the small grip. There are two grips. The SP 2009 is the same gun as the 2022. the 2009 has no rail for a light. There was also the option of a short or long trigger,
With respect to the Sig 226, I’ve owned a 2022 for years and it's lighter, more comfortable, and the de-cocker is smoother. The bore axis is a non-issue. I consider the “heavy” double action trigger a safety feature when carrying one in the pipe. The single action trigger is smooth and consistent. The 2022 is a far better gun than many others in its’ price segment. Mine has a stainless slide and looks expensive, always gets attention at the range.
Does it take 226 magazines
@@bigreiss1 no it does not take the 226 mags. Cheapest place to find factory mags is on EBay.
I also have the stainless slide, and it came with a factory laser, for 419 out the door back in 2014. Not one FTE, FTL, stove pipe, thousands of rounds of every brand of 9 mm.
About the time I bought one of these my buddy bought a glock19, we tookem out and shot both. I was more accurate with the glock! I blame bore axis for that. But the sig looks a lot cooler..lol
Sp2022 doesn’t even come close to the quality and performance of the 226.
One is a reliable work horse and a actual work of art.
The other is just a really good DA/SA polymer framed gun.
Both sigs. Both quality.
One is just on a whole different level.
Hard to tell, but this one might have had the "Short Reach Trigger," which became a lot more common on SP2022's made over the last several years. Mine came with that one, but I replaced it with the "Standard" trigger, which moves it forward. It is all in the shape of the actual trigger, as the Short Reach for the SP line is not the "Short Reset" trigger from the classic line.
Mine has around 5000 rounds of 9mm through it and has been flawless. This model is pretty popular on the sig forums.
I picked up sp2022 and tried to wear it out, I can't, eventually it's became my favorite gun, in all the years it's never ever jammed, it's my go everywhere gun, I like it's light too
One thing about the 2022, the undercut on the sig trigger gaurd doesnt give you knucle rash on your bird( flipping people off) finger like the Glock does..I love my glock 17 gen 5, a little better trigger than my 2022, but c'mon guys, how many of us that watch these reviews are ever gonna be in a gun fight, or have a break in where we have to actually fire on someone, most of us, even trained and ready, unless your a dirty Harry type, are not gonna freeze and at that point, Grip, trigger pull, ergonomics doesnt matter..
That's my gun. I paid $350 for mine. It was a lot cheaper than the flocks and I been in love with it ever since.
I have a G19 and 2 SP2022's
I prefer the Sig due to the weight as it absorbs the recoil better. My wife likes it as well.
Greetings Mr. Hichkok45.
I really would like to see a comparison between the SP 2022 (9mm) and the new P320 (Carry 9mm). I want to see wich one is better. I know both are very good. But I want to know. Thank you for all your videos.
I really love Hickok's soothing voice aha
The war on high fructose corn syrup is legendary.
*Syndrome Terminology* - "High Bore Axis"
*Syndrome Diagnosis* - A pistol with a side assembly that rests slightly higher over the web of the hand than some differing pistol designs.
*Syndrome Explanation* - Most meaningless, overrated, overhyped design characteristic on handheld firearms. Literally a non-factor, akin to complaining about the width of the trigger.
*Syndrome Treatment* - Completely ignore the syndrome, as it is a totally meaningless characteristic. During the firing of a pistol, especially under the stress of competition or a self-defense scenario, the combination of a correct firing grip, trigger discipline and follow through will negative this imagined 'negative', as the recoil of a pistol cycling combined with proper weapon control will make any bore axis height irrelevant and a moot point.
*Alternate Syndrome Descriptors* = "I hate Sigs, let's bash them!", "I love Glocks more than my own wife!", "This gun is different from my preferred brand that I've conflated my self-image with, so I have to try to ruin its reputation!", "I don't know what I'm talking about, I just read about it in Recoil magazine so I'm repeating it to sound smart", and "Larry Vickers is my god".
Yep, it's meaningless for those who cannot discern any difference in muzzle rise and such. Inexperienced shooters who cannot see any difference should ignore all the talk about it.
From a practical standpoint, even if somebody CAN feel and see the difference in muzzle rise, sight reacquisition, etc., such as me, it's still not going to make all that much difference.
@@hickok45 A well spoken summary of my admittedly wryly sarcastic (but in no way intentionally mean-spirited) take on the issue. I've heard so many online self-appointed "experts" blather about this ad nauseum for years, I suppose just hearing it again set off my comment.... not aimed at you, but rather just at the topic itself.
After 40+ years of shooting (I myself am *no* subject matter expert), I've at least learned that the vast majority of shooting advice one sees online comes from folks who are simply regurgitating what they've heard from their favorite neck-bearded, tribal tattooed online guru or they've simply purchased their way into a pile of weapons and gear to give the illusion of experience. A few, if they have any brains at all, simply repeat what they read from Mas Ayoob. At least those I can live with.
'Misinformation' is a recent popular catchphrase that's usually a stand-in word for "group think myths", "outright lies", or "things I hate that people say but I can't shut them up so I'll just discredit them".... all depends on the point of view. As far as the firearms world, there is far more of the former than the two latter, IMHO. So much garbage gets repeated it's headache inducing. I fear 'gun folk' have become such fanatical consumers of the 'Next Big Shiny Thing!' that we fall for every new dunsel that comes down the pike, whether is has a shred of merit or not.
A few examples come to mind, such as the ridiculous FBI ballistic protocols, along with flat triggers and reflex sights. Are these really necessary? Do they REALLY change things that much? Are they ACTUALLY game changers? No. Not at all. A superbly trained combat marksman with a three inch m19 would simply grease the vast majority of modern tactical wannabes in a few seconds. But we buy the nonsense we're told, swallow it whole and accept as gospel. I've been seeing claptrap like "high bore axis" since the mid-80's from bad gun writers (remember Bradly Steiner's big "Point Shooting To Live!" crap?), but these days it's metastasized to a whole new level online.
As Charles Spurgeon famously quipped, "A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on." Nevertheless, sorry for rant. Excessive, gross overwriting is a genetic liability that comes my Irish DNA; Imy annoyance finally overpressured a bit and boiled over. Apologies.
Hope you have a blessed Sunday.
This was the first gun I used in a competition stage. It could shoot better than the human behind it. It still served me well. Of all things the white front sight against steel targets painted white in 104 F heat made it hard sometimes to see the front sight well. Of course old eyes are an issue too!
Starting watching your videos just like three weeks ago definitely loving the sig Sauer by far
Had my eye on this for the past little while. Criminally underrated offering from Sig, refined and solid DA/SA piece.
I have this gun in .40 caliber. Great weapon.
Been wanting a Sig for some time. Looked at this gun at Cabelas recently and liked the feel of it. The positive reviews I've been seeing have made up my mind; I'm going to go back and get it. Thanks for yet another informative and in depth review.
this is suposed to be a review of a sig not a comparison of sigs and glocks , come on hickok wtf?
This is the first pistol I purchased after leaving the Army. It is an EXCELLENT DA/SA pistol, and holds true to SIG accuracy and reliability! The only negative I can think of is the price of the magazines. I carried an M-11 (P228) for a little while and the SP 2022 is every bit on par with it. The polymer frame actually makes this pistol much more pleasant to carry than the M-11. This is my EDC, and on a quality leather gun belt you barely notice it. We also have, in our house, a Glock 19 and a CZ 75 SP-01. I prefer carrying the SIG over both of them! That said if the CZ wasn't 3lbs it would be my EDC as it is hands down the best pistol I have ever handled! If you are on the fence about buying the 2022, jump off and buy it already, because those of us that own it are not joking when we say this is a $440 P-226!
I own one in.40s&w and I love it!!!! one of my favorite guns!!
