Thread: 1911 vs P220

@R93: that's not a pistol — that's a raygun the 1911's history speaks for itself, alright.
@308: i agree the 1911 is a classic, and if i were to get it, i'd have no intention of customising it.
@stumpy: ah-HA — thank you for your vote!
@Vapour: good points — 've just waded through the NRA rules and the SIG falls into production which means first-shot double-action-only which would very frustrating (and expensive) at the 50-yard line for a recent shooter like myself.

so far:
— 2 x against the SIG;
— 1.5 x for the SIG (i'm splitting @R93's between the SIG and the 1911);
— 6.5 x for the 1911, a couple with caveats;
— 2 x unsolicited for a CZ; and
— 1 x call for common sense;
— 1 x call for the application of cold logic.

the ornery part of me says bugger to the 1911 bloc but the calls for common sense and logic are beginning to nag at me.
