Since Sig-Sauer doesn’t make a Glock 19, I don’t have much use for their firearms. I suppose I would be marginally interested in the SAO 226 if it didn’t cost $1700 and put the slide release in a hideously stupid location. The SIG 556 might be a decent defensive carbine if it came with sights and a folding stock.
However! One thing I do enthusiastically approve of is THIS. A sensible selection of spare parts intended to keep your pistol working when something on it breaks! Without having to overnight it back to the factory!
Imagine that!
S&W and Springfield Armory, are you paying attention?
If you bought the correct pistol, you can pick THIS up from Glockmeister and be set.

The location of the slide stop on the SAO 226 is a feature, not a bug, in my opinion. Still accessible for its proper use, which is to lock the slide back, but out of reach for those of us who sometimes accidentally engage the slide stop with our normal firing grip.
But yeah, pricy.
SIG’s making lots of 220 models in SAO these days. You don’t have to go all the way up to the full competition models. And the rest of their pistols come with a DAK trigger, which shouldn’t be too much of an adjustment for someone used to a Glock. I’m very impressed with their responsiveness to the market lately. If you have any interest at all, please reward this behavior.

I haven’t held one yet, but it sure looks to me like you’d have the tip of your thumb on the slide stop if you shoot thumb-on-safety with an SAO SIG. Rather than accidentally engaging it, you’d keep it from engaging at all.
