Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main functional problems with the Sig M18 discussed in the review?

The primary functional issue highlighted is the magazine repeatedly dropping out during live fire. This is attributed to a very loose magazine release that is easily bumped, particularly by a left-handed shooter's grip.

How does the Sig M18 compare ergonomically to the Glock 19 Gen 5?

The reviewer found the M18's grip lacking in texture and stippling compared to the Glock 19. The trigger reset on the M18 was also described as 'gritty', while the slide release was criticized as being too small.

What is the controversy surrounding the magazines included with the Sig M18 civilian version?

Civilian Sig M18 pistols are supposed to come with three magazines but often ship with only one due to military contracts. Owners must use a coupon code on Sig's website to receive the additional magazines, a process the reviewer found tedious.

What is the reviewer's final recommendation regarding the Sig M18?

The reviewer concludes the Sig M18 'shoots like shit' and is clunky. They strongly advise viewers to purchase a Glock 19 instead, stating the M18's only significant positive attribute is its color.
