Thread: sig handguns anyone

I haven't looked at HK since I sold my USP, when did they abandon the ambi safety?

I like the SIG 220/245 series so much that I gave up a Series 70 Combat Commander I'd owned for 27 years. They're rightly known as one of the most accurate out of the box factory pistols made, and personally I like the DA/SA configuration with a decocker. The SIG decocker rides the hammer all the way down for a gentle landing unlike the HK USP.

I don't know about left handed issues with these but as far as the quality of design and build I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Are you a member over at Sigforum? Lots of good info there along with Sig fanatics. I know because I'm one of them.

I carried a sig P220 on the job for many years. They are fine quality weapons and they will never let you down. Having said that and having carried barreta's,Glocks and H&Ks my favorite and I think the best is H&K. I had a USP .40cal however they constructed a special model for our agency and everthing was beefed up because our agency had custom loads that a regular model would never take for any period of time without failing.

Must be nice lol...Im independent...no custom jobs unless I do them myself. I always liked HK, but can never find one to test...the sig on the other hand is pretty easy. Besides the govt issued USPs are not their base model....about 3 times the cost and for good reason.

Did you send it off to a gun smith? I find that servicing your mag's eliminates A LOT of feeding problems. Especially in my 1911.

I never played with any of the sig p220's

Glocks are alright, I dont really like the way they shoot, but they are very convienant sidearms. I carry a Glock 19 in my truck. I've only had a glock jam once, and it was after firing a few mags of ammo underwater at the river.

I absolutely love my 1911 but I dont think I would want to carry it as a concealed weapon though. To heavy to really carry comforably all day unless your using a tactical leg holster.

Barretta's I sort of hold a grudge against... Im sure they are good guns, but after using them in the military... I would never buy, own or depend on one.

If you want to diversify, buy a revolver =P

Ohwell my search continues!

I generally carry in Kydex. As long as you are not objectionable to a "plastic" holster, I would recommend Greg at http://www.comp-tac.com the turnaround time is fantastic. For a "dead animal skin" holster I think El Paso Saddlery is tops.

I used a Kydex for a little over a year. I never used it for concieled carry though... I'm not quite sure how well that would work out.

I've had a lot of luck with uncle mikes if you want to look through thier stuff:
