GLOCK 36 VS SIG SAUER P220: WHEN CARRYING A 45ACP IS A MUST.
About this video
Colion compares two compact .45 ACP carry pistols: the Glock 36 and the SIG Sauer P220 Carry. He evaluates both firearms across aesthetics, ergonomics, trigger quality, and concealability, explaining how each gun appeals to different types of carriers. While Colion states he prefers the SIG’s looks and feel, he concludes that the Glock 36’s lighter weight and thinner profile make it his choice for concealed carry, given that both hold the same capacity.
Key takeaways
- Colion finds the SIG P220 Carry more aesthetically appealing and comfortable to hold, but notes it feels heavier and bulkier than the Glock 36
- According to Colion, the Glock 36 was purpose-built for concealed carry with its slim single-stack design, while the SIG is essentially a chopped-down full-size pistol
- Colion explains that despite preferring the SIG’s grip and overall feel, he would choose the Glock 36 for carry due to its superior concealability and lighter weight, since both guns offer the same 6-round capacity
