sig 220 or 1911

roland
I know this is open to opinion only, but given the choice, what should I choose? I have a beretta 92, steyr m40, hs200, and a taurus pt 111. Will I find the 220 easier to get used to? Or should I go with the 1911, probably a kimber?

    Hold both in your hands and try to find a place where you can rent both and shoot them. Both Kimber and SIG make great guns and you can't go wrong with either one.

    I have both(sig 220 & 1911)! I would tell you that I would have a hard time picking one over the other. I really don't care for the Sig DA/SA even though it's one of the smoothest I've tried. I guess it's the fact that the trigger is moving too much for me. I would definitely consider the Sig 220ST, I really like the way it looks.

    I HAVE BEEN CARRYING A P220 FOR A WHILE NOW. I JUST LOVE IT. NEVER EVER HAD A JAMB AFTER 1,500+ ROUNDS SO FAR. I'VE ALSO SHOT A COLT, SPRINGFIELD, AND A PARA-ORDNANCE DURING MY SHOPPING OF THAT PERFECT-FOR-ME 45ACP. ALL ARE GREAT GUNS, BUT THE SIG JUST FELT BETTER HOLDING AND SHOOTING. MAYBE BECAUSE IT FIT ME PERFECT, I GOT USED TO THE RECOIL FASTER, ACTUALLY MORE INSTANTLY. MY ADVICE, TRY IT ALL OUT AT THE SAME TIME AT A RANGE AND SEE WHICH FEELS THE BEST. OH, AND MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE A KIMBER AND A WITNESS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT. YOU JUST MIGHT COME HOME WITH TWO OF THE WITNESS'. GD

    If you feel uneasy about carrying locked and cocked or condition 1,then you should think about the Sig which allows you to carry with a round in the chamber and the hammer down, and the firing pin blocked.I carried a Springfield V-10 for years and when carrying locked and cocked I would often find that my safety woud be off just buy everyday activities, also my relatives and some friends were a bit unnerved about seeing the hammer back on a gun,so if it's peace of mind you want,get the Sig...

    If you don't like carrying cocked-and-locked, go with the Para-Ordnance LDA 7.45That trigger is the sweetest DAO trigger I have ever pulled.
