I use to be good with a 226 or 229, either 9 or 40, but I'm way out of practice. A 220 in 45 put my Colt 1911 to shame and put me out of shooting 1911s. A good friend in Houston named Teddy Jacobson did his thing to a couple of my Sigs and made a sweet gun much better. I'm pretty partial to my Sig 229 in 40. The Barsto 9mm conversion is a bit touchy with reloads but deadly accurate with the 40 barrel. I had a 357 barrel but that round never much impressed me, either in a 229 or a 239. |

If it don't say Vermont or West Germany on it, it ain't a real Sig.

This one is about as real as it gets. The X5's are handbuilt in Germany not in the U.S.
If you look closely in front of the 226 in the bottom picture you can see a "DE", which is the abbreviation for Deutschland. You can also see the German proof marks on the slide. USSA-1 |

My vote goes to the Sig P6. No rails, single stack, but it's a pleasure to shoot and I'm sure it's perfectly capable in a defensive role as well.

I had one and let a friend buy it from me. He still has it and won't part with it. I bought a 239 to replace it. If I ever find one like the 225 I had and have the money, I'll buy it. Single stack Sigs, from the BDA to the P6, are super fine handguns!!!!!!! |

Don't know about that. I only know the X5's are handbuilt in the German Sig Sauer plant. This thing locks up as tight as any custom 1911 I've ever had the pleasure to examine. USSA-1 |

USSA-1 Sig is a Swiss company. Due to some Swiss gov't regulation, they had to team with Sauer to make the handguns for export and have them made outside of Switzerland. Sauer is a great gun maker for decades. I've not seen one of their guns that was not a desirable piece. They've made everything from double rifles to handguns. All are extremely well fitted. Now the US current manufactured SigArms ain't so damn good. The honcho that ruined Kimber did his crap at Sig too. |

It's a damn shame Sig adopted the Lorcin manufacturing process. I love the old Sigs, but hate the new! Although the P238 is one that may end up in my safe pocket.......

I carried a 226 on duty for a while but opted for something smaller and lighter with the same capacity. I wish I hadn't sold my 220 though. I like 1911's but the P220 was the .45 ACP I considered carrying when that was the caliber of choice for a particular agency. |
