Why are you so fixated on this completely useless benchmark? Many people have offered excellent opinions on the two models you were interested in - take their advice and use it measure any reviews you read, then make a choice.

Keep in mind if you are close enough for a pistol kill, you really don't want it to be souped up shooting an insane FPS. Your fixation on fps alone is a dangerous attitude and is likely to get someone injured.
I think he works for Pepsi. They still keep trying, but they still can't punch thru Coke's market.

From an ergonomics standpoint, some prefer the P226's rounded grip in opposition to the more rectangular (in cross section) Hicapa, but it's still a personal pref held by some (some prefer the hicapa grip).

From a strictly mechanical standpoint, I would think that the Hicapa would be more reliable. It has a lower parts count and does not have the complication of the decocker or double action mechanism. The Hicapa has a more modular mechanical build. You can get into the hammer spring without disassembling the trigger or sear group.

If your into gunsmithing super short and light tweaked out triggers the Hicapa has a lot more room for that than the P226. If you're into double action triggers, the Sig is for you.

Just like in the real world, different pistols have different features with preferences which appeal to sections of the pistol market which is why there hasn't been a complete migration to a single gun type. Asking "wat am bestest gun" is as valid in the real steel market as it is in the airsoft replica market. The some of the justifications are just different.
