The Best 1911?

[PinnedAndRecessed]

I was looking for another 1911 and examined a Sig 220St and fell in love with the Sig's ergonomics, heft and grips.

Long story short: I ordered a Sig.

Meanwhile am going to drop my Mk 4/Series 70 Colt to have a solid bushing installed.

Will range test both.

BTW, is Wolf 45 ammo any good? Any adverse impact from a steel cartridge case?

After extensive consideration I've decided to purchase a Sig 220ST

I like 1911s alot. That said, a SIG P220 is my home defense pistol. When I take it to the range, I do at least fifty rounds of DA/SA transition practice. It's not even an issue for me anymore (no more of an issue for me than remembering to take the safety off is for regular 1911 shooters). The muscle memory is so there at this point I don't even think about it.

GSB:

I agree. Sig is great. I've owned the 220, 226, and 230. I didn't much care for the 230's ergonomics but it was a fine piece.

The 220 (45 ACP) shot as well out of the box as my extensively modified and target accurized 1911.

The thing that struck me about the 220ST though, was the heft. It has a steel frame.

Plus the grips. They feel like lambskin.

Plus the grips. They feel like lambskin.

The grips are my one complaint with my 220 (standard version). They are hard plastic and not the best if your hands are sweaty. It looks like I'll have to settle for Hogues, as it doesn't look like Burner makes as set for the 220 yet.
