Making up my mind between the two. Any feedback on the lasermax gun sight for the Glock 26? Is it a constant light or does it just blink every once in a while?

Okay, there are 3 size catagories of 9mm glock Full size - Glock 17 Compact - Glock 19 Subcompact - Glock 26 There are also 3 size catagories of 9mm sig Full size - Sig 226 Compact - Sig 229, Sig 250 Slimline - Sig 239 (discontinued SIG 225) See, the subcompact Glock26 has a short barrel and a very very short grip, but is as thick as all the others. The Sig slim pistols have the same length barrel as the compact, and the same length grip, but the grip is a lot slimmer. Hence you are comparing apples to oranges. A more apples to apples comparison would be Sig 229 vs Glock 19. Between those two, it is pretty much personal prefrence. They are both good guns, but in my opinion the Sig is a bit nicer. Of course, you pay a bit more for it too. I personally find the grip of the Glock 26 too short, and would rather have 8 shots in a slim grip than 10 shots in a fat short grip, regardless of maker. The lazermax gun sight is a constant beam of lazer, but there is a switch to turn it on located on the slide release.

Based on the highly reliable standard Glock design, these little powerhouses offer the best solution to the problems of the pocket pistol. In fact, they solve them completely! In addition, they operate and field-strip like regular Glocks, come out of a holster just as fast and shoot just as accurately.A sig is a World-class reliable, accurate, ergonomic and easily controllable weapon, you can't get much better. Take your pick.

the blink is so slight you will just see it

The Glock is a piece of JUNK and the SIG is one of the best made, most accurate firearms you could ever own. Trust your life to what the Feds buy for all agencies from the FBI to the Park Service-SIG baby!

Lasermax has a pulsating beam.

NO CONTEST. SIG SIG SIG. ITS THE BEST OUT THERE. GLOCKS ARE OKAY BUT I FIND THAT THE WEIGHT OF THEM IS JUST TO LIGHT AT LEAST FOR ME. I WAS ALSO ALWAYS USED TO HANDLING 357'S AND 44'S BEFORE GOING TO THE SEMI AUTOS. I'VE GOT SEVERAL SIG'S AND LOVE ALL OF THEM.

The Glock is one of the most durable and reliable gun on the market, but you will hear some people refer to them as junk. My choice would the the Glock. It can do all the Sig can do, and at a little over half the price. Glocks can be serviced by mechanically inclined people with a set of take down instructions, try that with a Sig. Glock parts are readily available, if needed, try and find parts for Sig, and see where it gets you.

Both are good but I've heard true horror stories about Sig's PR department. Same is not true about Glock. As far as Glocks being junk, that is one jaundiced opinion from some poorly informed soul. I've had no experience with the lasermax so I have no comments. H
