    Sig 239 Happy Anniversary!!!

    I just wanted to wish my Sig 239 .40 a happy anniversary. It officially fired round # 2,500 today without a single malfunction of any type whatsoever. MY first handgun to achieve that benchmark. And she's still so 'purdy. :D

    Kimber or Sig 220: Put up or shut up

    Time for me to finally make a decision on my next .45ACP. I'm choosing between a Kimber Series II and a Sig-Sauer Stainless 220 w/rail. The Kimber is $520, the Sig is $639. I LOVE the way the Kimber feels in my hand, tight and slim. I am worried about it's MIM parts, however, especially...

    10k Round Sig 1911 Test

    It was reported somewhere that the Sigarms new 1911 purportedly went 10,000 rounds with no stoppages of any kind, and was only field stripped and cleaned at regular intervals. I knew that some gun rag did a similar test with the P220, but this was purportedly done in house at Sigarms facility...

    Just Discovered a Kimber nib for $500: Critical Mass

    Okay people. I appreciate all the feedback you've given me so far. I am on the cusp of buying (today or tomorrow at the latest) a nib Kimber Custom II for $500.00. This is at a local gun store and seems to be a good deal. I have never seen a nib Kimber for this low a price. I'm afraid if I...

    1911: How much tougher is it to field strip/clean ...

    ...compared to Sigs, Glocks, CZs, HKs? (which I'm used to) I am considering buying my first 1911. Are there a zillion small parts? Any tricks to getting the pistol back together and not screwing something up?

    Kimber TLE Purchase: Yeah or Nay?

    I got a sudden case of 1911 fever. And the only prescription seems to be a Kimber TLE for around $700 nib. I really don't want to spend much more for my first 1911, but I don't want to end up with a "bad" 1911, either. So I need the wisdom of folks who own them to share their experiences...

    Controversial Sig Slide Rattle

    I know this has been a touchy lately, but I have had personal experience with it and am not pleased. Sig is among my favorite make of semiauto handguns. I own a 220, 226, two 229s and a 239. My latest two additions, a 229 and 239, chambered in .40 S&W and .357 SIG, respectively, both have...

    Paging Stephen Camp: Questions about the .40S&W

    Stephen: Seeing that I am a big fan of the .40S&W cartridge, that you are not, and given that I have great respect for your opinions, I just wanted to ask why you formed the less than postive opinion of the .40S&W that you have (as I have gleaned from reading your various posts)? Maybe you...

    Sig or Glock in .45ACP for Carry?

    I know that the Sig P226 is highly regarded in 9mm by many paramilitary units the world over, including the SEALs. However, this is in 9mm, and I'm looking for something as highly regarded in .45ACP. Basically, without the need for a double-strike capacity (i.e. external hammer verse...
