Sig P365 vs Glock 26 Gen 5: Which Is Better?

[Applause] what's up guys this is the Honest outlaw here and today we're gonna be doing a quick comparison video between two of the most popular carry guns on the market today we're gonna be talking about the Glock 26 versus the Sig p3 65 now before we do that I want to mention my patreon supporters thank you guys I met you in every video you guys really keep the channel going really helped me pay for ammo and things like that if you want to be entered into the monthly giveaway all you gotta do is be a patron so what are these guns well they're both striker-fired palmer frame compact guns meant for carry and they both hold somewhere between 10 and 12 rounds depending on whether you have the magazine extension or not now let's start with the head dead comparison with reliability it is the most important category of any pistol or any any gun for that matter meant for defense and I'm gonna have to lean toward the Glock 26 now the Glock 26 the reason why I'm leaning toward it is because it has a track record of 20 plus years of military service and well mostly law enforcement but it does have some military use and it is known pretty much around the world for being the most reliable comp subcompact gun that you can buy honestly I can't really think of a more reliable carry gonna get I could think of equally reliable carry guns but the Glock 26 for its size and weight is extremely reliable so any pistol compared to it you know would be a tough haul however the 365 I shot in a thousand rounds through mine and it was 100% the [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] only down I would give on the sig is maybe durability the durability on the sig 365 s comes into a little bit of a question because they are new model they're new design they're gonna have some issues and in over a thousand rounds you see things like strikers and Springs and things like that failing and hopefully they'll figure that out in the next gens of these pistols because there will be a next generation of the 365 I can promise you that these pistols sold very very well this year and on see the Glocks on the fifth-gen so they've had a lot of time to iron things out in the future maybe the 365 will be as reliable but as of right now if I had to trust one of the other as far as reliability I would go with the Glock however the sig 365 is no slouch as far as accuracy goes I think personally the Glock wins again I think because it's a slightly bigger gun it's easier to get your hands on it has a slightly longer sight radius and the triggers are very similar in the 365 in the Glock 26 because they're both striker fired I think this trigger might be a little bit better in the 365 actually and these sights are actually better on the 365 but because it's a significantly smaller gun even than the 26 even though they hold similar rounds because of my large-size hands it's actually pretty difficult for me to shoot the 365 fast and accurate okay so because of that I'm personally gonna give the edge to the Glock 26 however your mileage might be different and you might actually be more accurate with the 365 it all depends on your hand size and what you're comfortable with as far as speed goes though accuracy at speed I got to give that to the Glock hands down just because it is an extremely controllable flat platform because for a 10 round pistol it is a little bit bigger and you can see here size comparison they look kind of similar sort of but you can see the grip on the clock is just significantly wider and larger and the overall gun is a little bit longer and it's just so much easier to shoot again another big pro of the Glock 26 in particular is not only that it's reliable but it's one of the most controllable subcompact guns you can have [Music] personally I think the 365 because of its size and diminutive weight which is good for carry but that makes shooting it especially at speed kind of difficult [Music] because it is a fairly snappy pistol it is a very small nine millimeter in physics or a [ __ ] so you're just gonna have that no matter what you do because these are both carry pistols I'm gonna talk about the draw a little bit now again the benefit to a larger grip at a slightly larger gun is that it's gonna be easier to get it out under stress it's just the way it is for me I felt easier and more comfortable to draw the 26 it felt like it came out of the holster much faster then the P 365 but again it could be because of my hand size I am 6 foot 3 and I feel like maybe the 365 was just a tad bit on the small size for me so again your mileage might vary yep the only problem I had was I thought I would be out of handle but I forget this tiny little gun holds 10 rounds so now as far as Kari goes this category is definitely gonna have to go to the 365 it is much smaller overall it has a much smaller overall size so it's going to be more comfortable to carry all day what does that be appendix or in the 3 or 4 o'clock position it wouldn't matter much if you carry outside the waistband it's gonna be kind of negligible at that point the 365 is definitely going to be more comfortable and it's gonna be a little bit lighter as well somewhere in there you have three to four ounces light now we'll get into holster and accessories well that is gonna have to be the Glock all day however the 365 for being such a new pistol it's sold very well this year mostly any of the holsters you're gonna want are available and you won't need as many accessories with the 365 because the ergonomics on the 365 I think are a little bit superior things like the magazine release and the control once I think or maybe a little better done on the 365 the texture for sure is very very nice it's one of the better textures I've seen on a small pistol it's not too abrasive on your stomach when you're carrying it around but it's just enough to get a real good grip on it I just wish the grip itself was a little bit bigger for my hands and I think this grip would be excellent the looks themselves the 365 I think looks a little bit more crisp and clean and a little bit more quality than the Glock Lee that's just because the Glocks kind of an old design but I think the 365 looks like a cooler pistol the trigger is just as good if not a little bit better and the sights again are some of the best sights that you'll find on a carry pistol stock so right from the factory I think that the 365 is gonna have a little bit better ergonomics for most people but giving back to the kit the the accessories Department you can make the Glock 26 whatever you want now a lot of people don't like that they don't like to buy a project gun but a lot of times that's what Glock is because it's a lego set for adults it really really is you can put whatever sights whatever grips whatever magazine released whatever trigger anything you'd ever want to put in this gun to customize it to your specific carry gun you're able to do that with a twenty six alright so the first mag we're gonna shoot with is going to be the one of the three mags that it comes with and the Gen fives have the new orange followers so it's easy to tell but the jet four mags work in the gen five all the same one of the upgrades to the Gen 5 which is what I really like about this particular 26 is I didn't really notice in the 19 but in the city in the 26 I noticed the trigger is significantly better than my stock 26 Gen 4 so I really like that and we're gonna run it with the flush fitting mag and then we're gonna run it with the magazine that I would carry and I will carry is going to be the pearce grip extension I think it's a pearce grip extension and then maybe we'll run something a little bit bigger here a second let's see how it runs now this I don't like because I do have big hands so believe it or not my ring finger barely even fits on that my pinky is completely underneath but believe it or not you can still shoot very effective with only a two-handed grip - only a two fingers grip now we'll run the finger extension grip and then need a little extra firepower can always you're on the Glock 18 [Music] the price both of them are pretty equal I want to say the older gens of the 26 are gonna be cheaper than 365 but I actually think you can find it 365 the newest model for a little bit cheaper than you can the gen 4 and $550 you'll be able to find these pistols depending on where you look so all in all what can I say they're both pretty fantastic firearms for a concealed carry two of the best that I think you can buy in the market today if I had to choose one if I had to choose one I would go to 26 and I think a lot of you people that follow the channel know that I would choose the 26 because the 26 is actually one of my most common guns that I carry and for the reasons that I described today and that is because I'm a little bit bigger guy and I really prefer stone-cold reliability durability and track record over the new hotness now if this gun comes out and it has excellent reliability durability from here on out and let's say a year to go down the road and then you have a couple of back straps that make the grip a little bit bigger I can see myself going for the 365 at some point I have nothing against it but as of right now I think the 26 is still a little bit better gun for me but that's what this video is about it's about finding what's the best gun for you so I'm not going to tell you either one of these is better for you I just want you to weigh the pros and the cons that I listed here and decide for yourself if you liked this video please like and subscribe please somebody local homeless shelters and remember recycle I'll check you later loading a shotgun while it's raining almost feel like I'm in a Paul Harrold video let me shut this guy in a while and it is slick so we're gonna test my recoil control here what we're not [Music]
