Sig P220 vs. 1911

[Beelzy]

Yep, SIG GSR is the BEST of both worlds.

The SIG is so close in design to the 1911 that I switched slides on a 1991A1 and a GSR
and they both functioned flawlessly. I'm not too keen on the SIG mags though, they like
to choke on my Cor-Bon defense loads.

I am a South Paw and have to have the ambi-thumb safety but have found no pistol fits my hand like the 1911 type pistols do...that said...I have owned and carried many SiGs and after you get used to the initial "this feels weird" of using the trigger finger for decock and leave the mag release alone (I used to carry my P226 and P220 with the release reversed...faster the normal "righty" way) I have no problems with a P220...though I have sold most of my SiGs off I still have a P225 and a P220 Compact...

I love both. For carry, I would probably buy the Sig, but a good 1911 would be a great piece as well, ugh that is a tough decision...

Although I have always been fond of 1911s, in the time since I made the above post, I have very much been bitten by the 1911 bug, and would like to officially reverse my opinion For carry, the slimness of the 1911 is sooo nice.

Still love the P220 though. Great DA/SA pistol IME.
