sig p220 Compact

[Guest FiddleDog]

does anyone have any experience with these? im wondering how it would compare, size wise to an Defender sized 1911.

Don't have any evidence to back me up here. But I'd think the sig would be a bit wider than the defender, and the overal height and length similar. I'm basing this on the 220 I have and thing that the Sig is a pretty massive firearm, whereas the 1911 platform tends to be a little more sleek and slender. But as I said, this is just an uneducated guess.

I just went to one of these and sold my full size 220. Magiccarpetrides on here carries one also. I don't think the Defender is on par with the 220. Any time you go to less than Commander size in 1911 platform there are issues. Mostly to do with the recoil system.

Not to get a debate started, it is a well know issue with officer size pistols. I'm sure some here have had no issues.

The 220 is a little wider and weighs a bit more. The Colt is 7 round where the Sig is 6 round. The SIG can be had SAO or DA/SA. I have carried both. About the same to me. But the dead set reliability of the SIG out weighs any thing I have ever owned by Colt beside one of their revolvers.

I love my P245 (german p220 compact w/o rail)...its absolutely reliable and a total tack driver to boot.
