As the title implies what would be a better carry gun? I carry a Ruger LCR 75% of the time, so this would be for the weekend and would be practicing on a weekly basis. I handled both of these at the shows this weekend. I haven't shot a Sig yet.
It seems to me that:
Smith 1911
Pros:
familiarity
slim
magazines are cheap
lifetime warranty
seemed lighter
Cons:
scandium, don't know how this will hold up
Single action
Sig 220
Pros:
Double action
may be more reliable out of the box(based on other 1911 exp.)
seemed a tiny bit more solid than the Smith
Cons:
more squarish less sleek
mags are more
