Nope. One of the few real Sigs on the roster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by rlewpolar; 07-23-2019 at 1:11 PM.. |

The real beauty and genius in the P220 design and execution is that you can feed it anything and it will eat it. I love Glocks for their reliability but the P220 is right there and may be even more reliable. I’ve put thousands of rounds through mine (reloads) and they’ve never choked once. I have managed to make my Glocks choke with my reloads though. I know, nothing to brag about I own three P220s and came close to buying a fourth, that’s how highly I think of them. Here’s the ST version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by rlewpolar; 07-23-2019 at 1:10 PM.. |

Just an update. I want to thank absolutely everyone in this thread. I learned a hell of a lot asking a question and the out-pour of information was helpful and people were civil. I like this forum a lot.
Tonight, I went and picked up my Bergara B-14 HMR. My DROS went through without a hitch this time! While I was there, I checked out an XD-45 Tactical and the regular 4.25" barrel version. They had the Gear Up package for the 4.25" but not the Tactical. I liked the Tactical the best, but both felt actually really nice in my hand. I almost bought it (I still might get one), because with the Gear Up it's a good deal (they were $500, but it came with 5 mags, a bag, holster, etc.). The story does not end there my friends. I would like to thank those of you that recommended the CZ 97B. They had JUST got 6 of them in stock this morning. DESTINY, my friends, destiny, may have been the reason my previous DROS was delayed, so that on this today, 24th of July 2019, I would come in to the shop to pick up my much anticipated Bergara, to find the CZ. I held it in my hand, it fit perfectly, even with the stock wooden grips. The trigger pull was exquisite, both the SA and DA pull, I liked. I hear they can be upgraded as well! I can't wait to see what it would feel like upgraded. Needless to say, I can't pick it up until mid next month, but I put one of the CZ 97Bs on lay away. I am so stoked. I really appreciate all of the advice everyone gave me here. I will more than likely also get an XD and a 1911 down the road, but the CZ was excellent! Along with the CZ, I also put an M1A Loaded on Layaway. My wishlist is almost complete. I just need something in 5.56, and an FN Five Seven. I also got what I feel like is a really good deal on some Hornady 6.5CM ELD Match 140gr, they hooked it up at like $16/box. I got a whole case. |

This is probably a stupid question, but what modifications are considered no-go for CA? obviously, I'm not looking to try to convert the CZ to an auto-pistol, but I saw a lot of pictures of CZs where it looks like the slide was either coated or electro-plated and such (it looked rad), and I know CGW offers this sort of service. However, it appears that the Glocks and such in different colors are considered different guns on the roster-- does this mean if I modify the gun's appearance that I have just "manufactured" an unsafe handgun according to state law?
Also, what all is involved in the "Cajunizing" package? I know I want something like trijicon or truglo night sights, eventually, but does it involve upgrading/swapping the barrel? This is all CA legal? |

Love my CZ97b. If your hands are big enough to handle the 97b, I'd just forget about the XD45. Also love the USP45 and HK45. I find the grip on the USP45 to be very reasonably sized, about as slim as you can get for a doublestack 45. Not oversized at all. I honestly dont understand the gripes about the USP45 grip being too large. Its not nearly as big as the Glock 21sf or 97b with stock grips.

I definitely want to do something with the sights and maybe doing a finish or coating job on it. The shape of the gun is too sweet to just leave it all just blued. Quote:

Yeah, I bet the new non-fiberglass synth stocks are lighter. My fiberglass stocked one is a Socom16 so it is handier feeling for sure (weight, balance, OAL)... cannot pass for light though.
