Luger VS. Sig

[Jackalope]

I want to say one was a 226 and one a 229 but I won't swear to those #'s as I only saw them once when I looked the guns over prior to firing them, not sure what the .22 or 9mm were as he put them up before I handled them. But they all looked identically the same if that helps. IDK man maybe the sights need to be worked on then as they shot low for both of us. I'm FAR from an expert all I know is what I experenced and having never fired a Sig before I have no idea what it is supposed to be like.

also, your luger you're used to shooting has a grip angle that's more swept back...kind've glockish. The grip angle on the sigs are more 1911'ish. If you're used to canting your wrist forward, you may be anticipating recoil slightly and dropping the muzzle as you press the trigger on the sigs. If you go with him again, have him randomly put a snap cap in a mag for you. When you press the trigger and it randomly goes *click*, pay attention to where the front sight goes. If it stays in the same spot...ure good and try a different sight picture. If it drops, then continue working with snap caps(with dry fire supplemental training at home) until you work out the anticipation. Another option would be just tossing some new sights in with a shorter front sight post to raise the impact.

Smokey I told him the same thing about anticipating the shot and dropping the barrel but it was shooting/grouping the same for both of us.

I have a Luger, made in 1934, and a few SIGs. All are equally reliable. The Luger actually has a pretty good trigger, but it has become a collector’s item, and the one thing it really needs is sights and I dare not modify it, but it is fun to shoot once and a while. The SIGs are much more practical being current manufacture with parts support available. I find I really like the E2 grips. If I had a Ransom Rest with the right inserts it would be fun to compare the mechanical accuracy of the Luger against my SIG 210. I suspect it would be close.
