Thread: 1911 vs P220

Just buy a CZ and have no problems!



Or the 1911 as a second place.....


And don't buy the sig.

(i was tempted once upon a time by a CZ 97B.)

why not the SIG?

Big thing was fit.
Sig just didn't fit me. However, they may fit you.

Most modern pistols are all reliable etc.... speed and comfort are something different. Glock, para, sig - all not so good experience. CZ never a issue (1 round that I forgot to put powder in) and comfort all the way.

thanks for that beaker.

i know i should at least handle them, preferably shoot each one to get a real feel for comfort and fit. i'm still ignorant enough about pistol shooting — a trigger pull is a trigger pull is a trigger pull, though i'm sure i'll recognise the nuances eventually — that, based on handling similar or equivalent 1911s and SIGs, i'd be okay with either. and i've just seen that SIG make 22LR conversion kits for the P220.

I'd recommend the 1911-

1) It's a classic
2) More aftermarket grips and customising options



I love mine and would not part with it

As for the Sig - a mate has one and he finds it hard to be accurate with it - YMMV
