I finally have the money and about 50 sheets crumbled paper with pros and cons of the HK45 (full size) and the Sig P220 carry elite. I'm open to anyone else's recommondations for .45's.
Here's what I came down too.
Sig P220 carry elite
-Comes w/ Sig Night Sights
-+p ammo approved
-piticanny rail
-Smaller gun so easier to conceal than a full size HK
-Beavertail
-More after market accesories and cheaper accesories including mags
HK45
-Glo in the dark sights
-Full size, longer sight radius
-+p and +p+ ammo approved
-Piticanny rail
-Option for aftermarket threaded barrel for suppressors
-10 round magazines
-Fully amedextrious gun
-LEM... Any LEM variant can be switched to DA/SA and DA/SA comes stock with a match trigger
-Plastic buffer to reduce recoil (although I don't feel reduction in my current HK)
-O-ring on barrel for improved accuracy (although I think this is a gimmick... the greats way before HK hit targets dead on without any kinda O-ring)
I already have a HK and I do like it, and that's probably why my pro list for the HK is a bit longer... But every gun owner I talked to says Sig is the golden standard with the exception of HK owners.
By the way I was considering the Sig P220 carry elite because if there was ever a time that I wanted to switch from carrying a 9 to carrying a .45 I could do that with the Sig P220 a little easier than the full size HK45.
Thanks for reading and any help/advice or even recommendations for other firearms would be appreciated.
