1911 vs P220?

[Murmur]

The 1911 is my favorite pistol platform. Its ergonomics, accuracy, and trigger cannot be matched. But I love the SIG Sauer P220, too. Before getting a 1911, you might want to read this article regarding Larry Vickers' advice: http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gears...ur-first-1911/

Thanks - great article.

Start by getting the P220 and go Christmas with the 1911. Problem solved.

Have you tried any of the slimmer grips or the short-reach trigger? The former did the trick for me.

Yeah, any P220 must have the short-reset-trigger. The short trigger is different, but you could always put in both. Just don't buy the short trigger thinking it is the SRT.

1911.

Reliablility depends on the individual gun and load. I have seen many a glocks fail. As well as SIG's.

But i persobally prefer the ergonomics if a 1911. A CZ-97 would be second.

1911 vs Sig P220. I'm surprised this is even a topic.

The 1911 is hands down the best 45 ACP semi-auto EVER MADE. Springfield and Colt make production line (inexpensive) 1911's that function 100%.

The Springfield TRP or Trophy Match is a great way to kick off your 1911 collection. It won't break the bank and it will always run as it should.
