SigP220....enjoying a trip down memory lane with this thread......as a 20 something in the late 70s a .45 was a Colt. For about 10 years I owned one Colt 1911 or another or two...... Gold Cup, Commander and LW Commander Govt. Model....but carried a 4" Diamondback and later a DOA 3" 65.........
About 1988 I got a W. German Sig 220........light ,the size of a Commander, DA/SA for carry, would shoot clover-leafs at 50 ft. Later followed by a Sig 245 and an Ernest Langdon Model 220.
The Colts got traded away and I didn't have a 1911 pattern gun for about 20 years...... but everyone needs one...... about 2 years ago came across a used Sig C3 ...... Commander length slide on an Officers frame......IMHO the perfect carry 1911...... and .......
The 1911 I wanted at the end of the 80s but you had to build your own back then!!!!!
