Anyone own or shoot the Glock 19x or 45 and compared to the Sig 320 M18 model if so thoughts on both of them ??
Comments
Makalia has the SIG 938 Nightmare in triple black special edition from Davidson's as here primary CCW / EDC option and I have the SIG P210 Neuhausen am Rheinfall that I primarily use for target shooting or in 3 gun match shooting (both guns in 9 mm)
Mine is a Swiss military police variant and comes with the bits of kit to allow 9×19mm Parabellum and 7.65×21mm Parabellum
Both are top quality guns - and you can argue that the 210 series and it's developmental predecessors are perhaps the penultimate 9mm combat pistols ever made combined with Olympic match grade capabilities...

There really are a few conversation points here.
For the Glock 19x vs. 45- in my mind the 45 wins- The deal breaker for me with the 19x is the weird lip at the front of the magwell - which prevents it from taking gen5 Glock mags. Its the only glock of this size frame with that issue, any other 17/19/34 from any gen can interchange mags.
Next the 19x is not an MOS gun from the factory, the G45 MOS & Sig M18 are both optics ready.
Last issue with the 19x is it doesn’t have front serrations where the 45 does. Its a personal preference, but I have found running a gun hard I must have them.
So between those two choices, in my opinion the 45 is a better pistol.
I have not ran one really hard but the G45 seems to be a fast “pointing” gun that transitions quickly.
The Sig has better sights than the Glock.
Eventually there will be a zillion of them on the market and the aftermarket will catch up.
The major functional difference is the Sig has a manual safety.
The sig has better factory sights, not only are they better but they are factory night sights- you pay extra for that with Glock.
Ammo capacity is basically a wash, both pistols being 17 +1.
Sig has 21 round sticks available, while Glock has 24 & 33rd mags.
I believe I’ve heard The subcompact Sig frame can’t hold the full size mags- probably worth verifying (I think it takes Sig 250 mags not 320 mags). For me that would be a shortfall.
There are dozens of PCC platforms that accept the standard Glock mag, but the Sig MPX most certainly does not accept 320 mags.
For me, the Glock 45 wins based on interchangeability, accessories, and the fact that it does not have a manual safety. The manual safety on a striker fired gun is a major detractor for me.
Your milage may vary.
Whatever you decide let us know!
The P210 does not go off when dropped and neither did it's predecessor - having utilized a modified Franz Joseph nickel design first used on the Mauser 1910 and 1914 and the working prototypes leading up to the CZ27...
What you describe for the above referenced pistols is mechanically impossible - I won't comment about more modern pistol designs.

My (unsolicited) advice- buy the Sig Legion. Good lord that is a shooter!
Random example:
I Like both but if a choice between the two, SIG is my choice.
To clarify-
Glock did not win that competition because Sig undercut their bid by 100 million dollars.
Unless you know something the GAO doesn’t.
My Glock 19 is a registered Short Barreled Rifle and normally sits inside of a MicoRoni. Because the shell of the Roni does not allow enough internal clearance for suppressor height sights, when I remove the pistol I use a dedicated slide with silencer height sights (Ameriglo) when I need to run suppressed.
