That was before I got my G30sf. IMHO if you dont think the G30sf is better, its only because you have not held or fired one. |

IMO the SIG P220. I used to have a couple of them; they were accurate, extremely reliable, and a joy to shoot. If they were so great, why did you get rid of them? Let me guess. So you could get a Glock? Nope. I'd still have them if I didn't have to sell the arsenal to finance my divorce. As much as I miss my guns, the divorce was well worth it. ETA: Also had a Springfield Mil-Spec 1911 and a Glock 21 (13 rounds of man-stopping .45 goodness). Although they were both fine guns, the SIGs were my favorite of the .45s. |

I carry a Springfield Champion Loaded and love it, but! My XD45 Tactical is an amazingly easy pistol to shoot well. My friends and I were simply amazed by our ability to shoot very, very smalldouble tap pairs, while MOVING with that pistol.

I've had good experience with:
Sig P220-carried it, qualified with it, liked it. Large trigger guard for gloved hands, Single stack mag is reliable. Accurate. One of the best out there right now. Looking to buy a Sig P220R myself. If I could own no other pistol, this would be it. HK USP Had one for awhile. Accurate. Has large trigger guard for gloved hands. Good ergonomics. Can be carried like an M1911 series. Don't like the double stack mag, but keep it clean and it'll work. Not a fan of plastic frames, but whatever works. Good quality. Glock 21 Have owned three. Carried one in the field for awhile. Small trigger guard, not good. Double stack mag-must keep clean to be 100% it'll work in the field. Simple to use, accurate, reliable. Again, it has a plastic frame but this does help to absorb recoil too-it's give and take. M1911A1 Owned several. Timeless design. Still works. Reliable. Small trigger guard that won't accomadate thick gloves is my only complaint. Other than that, it's the god of all Cal. .45 pistols. Just my .02 cents |
