Which New .45 Should I Get?

[MajorSideburns]

The two guns you are choosing between are completely different platforms (striker vs hammer, decocker vs grip safety), so I am assuming you are basing your choice on grip size alone. So it's kind of hard to help with that since it is user subjective. Take a look at 1911s like another user suggested, they have a very slim profile.

As far as the muzzle flipping...Sigs tend to take more effort to control muzzle rise because of their higher bore level in proportion to the frame. I don't think they are difficult by any means, but the flip is noticeably greater than other platforms. Have you tried a S&W M&P 45 or the Ruger P45?

Of the two you listed, I would get the Sig because it's better

bacon wrap around P220.

Check the ...HK 45

I agree

Rent or borrow both and buy what shoots best.
I've never understood why people think 220's are unruly, it's a *****cat.
I shoot a 229 in 40 and 357sig and its considered the softest recoiling pistol in those calibers.

I like the xd tactical better than the Sig but everyone is different. The xd.is certainly less expensive.

Sig p220

Why is there even a poll on this? I mean really, if you are comparing those two the P220 is a no brainer. Not trying to be an ***, but it's plastic vs metal- metal wins everytime.

XD 45 tac easy to shoot, not picky w/ammo

Ironic coming from a guy with "Glock" in his webhandle.

The poll supports your statement, no doubt. XD is taking a beating. Even Bacon is beating the XD.

Sig 220 and a pound of bacon to cover the bases

[iluvmycolt]

Sig.

[DysfunctionalVet]

Get whatever you like best.

I have both and prefer the XD. The Sig has the "cool" factor, but the XD just runs, and it has higher capacity and is much cheaper to buy.

I have and love my P220 carry model, but I love bacon too...dilemmas!!!!

[osis32]

I'm gonna guess that most of the people that hate on the xd tactical have never shot one or any xd for that matter. I don't dislike any gun I've shoot except for the glock and I've shoot them several times just don't like em. The most correct answer is both but don't discount the xd because people here hate on it. You should also consider the 97b too if they wanna make the metal/metal argument.
