Hey guys, looking at cleaning out the safe a little and work on finding a new range companion. I have a Kimber 1911 Custom Target that I rarely every shoot anymore. I typically take my Smith 1911 TA and Kimber CDP Pro. Thinking of selling the Kimber Custom Target and possibly a Sig P238, which I rarely carry anymore since I picked up my Smith M&P9c, for funds to go towards the Sig P229 Scorpion which is super ergonomic (for me) and beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think it is unique and different. Just wanted some opinions of this particular model (Sig P229). As far as 9mm, I also have a M&P Pro which I havent quite found a super accurate loading, Ruger P89 which is fairly accurate, and the above mentioned M&P9c.
Some questions I have are:
1. What type of rifling does the sig have, i.e. can I fire cast bullets out of it for range practice?
2. Guesstimate of going price for Kimber Custom Target blued model and Sig P238 Nitron finish, both near mint condition?
3. Overall opinions, benefits, pitfalls of owning a P229? Is it worth the entry price? ($899 for Scorpion model)
4. Other suggestions for range/fun gun that is a direct competitior to P229 Scorpion model that can shoot lead cast reloads (without buying an aftermarket barrel)?
thanks guys
