hahaha holy crud.... now that's a 1911 with some stopping power. a .50 caliber.... wouldn't want to be on the business end of that gun.

This sucks.

All these sweet links and gun pictures and I can look at any of them. HR sucks.

Thinking of picking one up, just have to figure the economics of reloading what is essentially a wildcat caliber. :hihi:

Redlite, you mentioned that you would get a Sig if it wasnt for Mass gun laws, what is the deal with the sig? I know it doesnt have a real safety, is that the issue? I just got done with a law enforcement academy and I shot a couple thousand rounds thru the sig 226, what a sweet gun i was hoping to get one. There were 34 people in my class and i only saw one jam, and the guns didnt get cleaned for the whole week at the range.

The newer Sigs are made in New Hampshire (except for the barrel, which is still forged in Germany). Older ones (made and assembled in Germany) are more desirable.

You have to be extremely careful when selecting carry (non-ball) ammo for the Sig because it is very finicky with hollowpoints and longer/heavier bullets. I experienced a failure to feed at the worst possible moment in a defensive situation a few years back, and this is after I put 250 jam-free rounds of the same damn ammo through it as recommended by the experts. I was so freaked out afterwards that for a while a carried a six-gun instead.

I was amazed to hear confirmation of the same problem from a UDT/SEAL (who is a fellow member on this board but shall remain nameless). The P-228's are (were?) issued to Naval Special Warfare personnel.

Apart from that, they are a joy to shoot at the range.
