Once I finish my immediate purchasing, I might have a little funding left for the year:
If $1200 or less
Dan Wesson Heritage (RZ-45) vs STI Trojan vs EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Elite in .45 (recommend a trim level).
If much more $
Sphinx 3000 (don't think the Sphinx SDP Production line will be out soon enough) vs Sig X5 (standard version).
or 3-4 cheaper pistols that I don't want as much per se (as some would be duplicates) but I would enjoy none the less. they would also be slightly more practical for me vs just having 1 nicer gun. (think ppq, m&p, shield, etc).
Feedback and/or please let me know if there are any shops in Southern CA (preferably OC) where I can hold or try these.
----------------
Between the DW and STI, people seem split 50/50 on different 1911 forums with various feedback, so I'm hoping there is a shop somewhere that have these in stock to try back to back. Even better if I can try these beside a standard Colt or Springfield Trophy Match, TRP, or Loaded - I've tried all of these individually except for the STI before.
For the Tanfoglio, does anyone recommend a particular trim or is there one that offers better value than the rest? I know the cheapest Witness Elite starts around 500/550. I have not tried one of these before and but have heard/read things here and there. Not considering a cz97b
For the S3000 vs X5, both are holy grail guns for me. The P210 not as much but there is definitely a "wow" factor to it for me.
