    Glock vs Sig

    I'm relatively new to firearms, but one word of advice seems to have stuck with me: get what fits you best. The best-built gun on the market that you aren't comfortable with or can't control is not the best gun for you. I happen to like Glocks. They fit me. They're simple and easily...
