Hello
Sorry if this might be redundant, but I am in a quandary. I have a .45ACP 1911 that I shoot incredibly well and love the platform. However, I would like to have a 9mm range gun for bulls eye target shooting as well as general defense (car, boat, home).
I have a strict budget and so will have to trade my SIG P239 for it and do not want to go more than a couple hundred over that.
I have been looking for a 1911 in 9mm and could get the STI Spartan. Like the gun a great deal, but....I will not be able to trade my SIG P239 (since I would have to order it new) and....I really would like to try a side arm that I could put a laser on (very expensive in the 1911 platform).
SO.....have been thinking about other platforms that are easier to find, have a light rail and could be found in a shop or show so that I could put the 239 towards a trade.
Thought long and hard about a CZ SP-01, but ....just cannot seem to go there. Not sure why. And not into the BHP (if I were to go with that type of platform....I would get a 1911).
NOW....I am thinking...SIG P228/229. I like SIG's, shoot them well.Love the SIG trigger. Not too enamored with the 226....it is on the clunky side. Like my P239 and shoot very well with it, but it is not really a target gun (and no rail...though could get the LaserLyte sites for it).
I will not be shooting in competition, but I do want a gun that will enable me to do my personal best. A gun that will give me bulls eye performance.
SO.... keep looking for a 1911 9mm (give up on the light rail and spend a few more months looking for one that is reasonably priced I could trade for). Or....would a SIG 228/229 accord itself as well in bulls eye shooting?
Thank you in advance...I realize you have all probably been here before...but comments would be very helpful.
Best
