Looking for a SA/DA 45 ACP...

[Lor]

Looking to purchase my first 45 ACP pistol. Prefer a SA/DA format. Narrowed it down to a SIG P220 and an HK expert. Have shot both. Any pro or con arguments either way..? Thanks.

Anticipated use? Both are great guns. Neither are great choices for concealed carry.

I have had both. The SIG is an awesome pistol, but I'll take the HK Expert all day long (still have it).

I don't think it is better, it's just personal preference of mine for the HK, and I have a special liking for the Expert.

Haven't shot the P220. Have the HK Expert and it is a tack driver and easy recoil for a .45. It is a big gun. the grip is big around. I can't reach the slide release easily with my thumb, although I usually sling shot. The magazine release is a little odd and for me is easier to operate with my trigger finger. I really like it and am glad I bought it. for me it is really a range toy and use a P226 for bedside.

If you are looking for range toy, get CZ 97B and send to CGW for e-conversion!!

The Sig P220 would be my choice. Sig makes a great, easy to carry .45, and it still is available without unnecessary or negative state mandated features.

I like the the hk expert and plan to eventually own one. With that being said it’s a fairly large pistol compared to the p220. But in the sig format I prefer the p220 compact.

I’ve shot both. I own, and prefer, the Expert. It is an awesome pistol.

HK USP Expert is my vote!

Built like a tank, reliability is there, and definitely a tack driver...

I'm just not an HK fan. They are quality weapons. But I much prefer Sigs. So my vote is for the P220. But if I were looking for a SA/DA 45, I'd also take a look at the FNX 45...although it's not on the roster. Don't know if that matters to you.

sig p220: if you have small to medium hand, factory grips are just right. for medium to large hand, you can replace the factory grips with wood grips or hogue grips to make it fatter.

Another vote for the Expert. It’s like the an evolved and cheaper USP match.
