I apologize cause I know these questions have been asked here numerous times.
I have come to the point where I want to get a .45 auto pistol. I now have a Beretta 9mm that I like and shoot well. However in light of the fact that if I ever need to use a handgun in a defensive situation in what will most likely be at a relatively short range I would like to have as much knock down pop as possible. I've read the arguments that a 9mm is just as effective as a .45. I just don't happen to believe it.
I would like some suggestions on a .45 that I could use as a CCW. I live in Fla so that is a challenge since we don't wear many layers of clothes for the majority of the year. I however don't want to sacrifice accuracy for concealment. I'd rather have an accurate piece that showed than an inaccurate one that didn't. Truth be told I will not carry this gun very much at all, unless something changes to warrant it that is. So concealability is not the most important thing for me.
I read the post today about the #1 best .45 of all time. As a result of that post I looked into the Sig P220. I like the looks of the gun. Does this gun have a polymer frame? I compared it to the CZ 97B and the Sig is 12.2oz lighter. The other dimensions are pretty close. I know the CZ is steel and built like a tank. Is the Sig all steel? Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
