So glad someone kinda compared these two (sorta). Been looking at the sigs. What makes the sig so nice compared to glock?

Those people need to work on their marketing verbiage lol. To me, it's all about knowledge of your hobby/interests. I have been taught it's a magazine by my military instructors, by friends who are special operations instructors, and also by swat cops. By no means am I trying to be "higher than thou", it's just me sharing knowledge. If I came across that way man I apologize. The word clip has always sounded either thuggish to me (rappers don't talk about mags, it's all clips [probably why they can't shoot for shit haha]) or uneducated. Then again, I'm also a huge firearms enthusiast, so I try to maintain proper knowledge and training.

Maybe it's my angry military side speaking, but every time I hear clip over magazine, it's drives me crazy haha. It's not personal to anyone else. It's just my messed up head. Seriously tbough, it's a magazine .

Forgot the belt fed clips too lol. "Magazine" is French for storehouse or storage place. The "storage places" for cartridges in firearms in general are called "magazines," whether they are detachable—as in the detachable box magazines generally found in automatic pistols—or fixed. The Mauser C96's magazine, for example, is filled by stripping rounds into the magazine from a stripper clip. The Garand's magazine is filled by inserting an "en bloc" (there's that French again, just what it sounds like, "in block form") clip of eight cartridges. Incidentally, "clips" are not "magazines." When we refer to, say, an M16's "30-round clip" what we really mean is "30-round magazine," which is shorthand for "30-round detachable box magazine," the full and correct description.

But it's actually called a mag. It's not based off location, it's based off knowledge. It's just a friendly reminder is all. Join the military and call it a clip lol.

Love this. It's a magazine people! Not a damn clip!

I carry a M&P 9c. Always have it on me. Switching to a glock 19 after the holidays. I don't need to carry where I am, but like everyone has said, I sure as hell won't be a victim. Went a step further and got my Utah CHL as well as my Oregon CHL. 32 different states to carry in. Might as well be prepared.
