I’ll take both please. And throw in a Browning Hi Power and a suppressed Mk III Ruger for good measure.
...and of course a Bowers Can:
Nice.
How much was the silencer?
I have a 22/45 lite just like that.
I carried a 1911 as a sidearm in the Navy. Couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with it.
Nevermind. Found ‘em.

After owning a Sig and having its trigger system fail under range conditions for reasons which were never fully explained, I will NEVER own another Sig.
I’m weird. I can carry a Glock all day with one in the chamber and never even think twice about it, but I just cannot carry a 1911 cocked and locked. I know it’s a psychological thing, but there it is.
Were I to carry a hammer-fired .45 ACP, my choice would be the Sig P220 decocker only.
Now, for the range ...
It’s the Indian, not the arrow.
Colt 1911 has been around for 106 years and stronger than ever. Will the story be the same for Sig?
I’ve always found Hi-Powers a little bit short in the handle for my big hands. In all other respects they are super.
I feel your pain.
The Colt 1911 was a good gun for its time. But it has long been superseded by many other guns.
I’ve had significantly more issues with my p220 that either of my 1911s. Broken parts in particular, I’ve worn out parts on a 1911 but never have had anything outright break.
In addition, my p220 never liked cast, the 1911s are agnostic and will place then on the paper time after time, cast or jacketed.
I’ve fired Navy issue 45s, never picked one up that didn’t rattle. Your experience might have been better with a newer weapon.
bfl
i bet I have over 10k rounds in my p220. only time it ever stove piped is because of poor ammo. same with my 1911 (actually a combat commander)
I like both weapons. both are solid.
Yep, I’ve got the Sig P220 SAO Carry.
I put my Colt MkIV, Series 70 Gold Cup in storage.
It was tricked out for competition and after 10’s of thousands of rounds, the little things started to break.
While it’s all fixed now, it will stay in storage.
Just a bunch of juvenile opinion.
