Sig 1911 target or p220 super match

[Major Mike]

Looking at both of these pistols ,which one would you buy for paper punching? From what I see on the sig site either one would do the job. Just curious as to what the experts here have to say. Thanks Mike

The trigger on the 1911 is, IMHO, better suited to 'bullseye' type of shooting.
I own both platforms, and I, consistently, shoot the 1911 more accurately.
In an IPSC or IDPA setting, where the idea is get the shots within a zone and group size isn't so vital, I don't find one preferable to the other.
The obvious answer, as always, is to have a chance to handle, and hopefully shoot, both types before you buy...
My approach would be to buy both!

Buy both.... sell the one you like the least. It's worth a small loss to get the right gun.

 

[Major Mike]

Buying both would be nice but not within my budget right now

I dont have any experience with SIG 1911s, but Ive got a couple 220s that I really like and Ive just ordered a 220 X6

In that case, get the 1911. The superior trigger will put a bigger smile on your face.

Have to admit I do like my 1911's....just seem to fit my mitt. Having said that I have had the chance to try out an all stainless P220 and was extremely impressed .

I just recently purchased a SAO 220 Match and i am favorably impressed by it. I like my Kimber 1911 as well It really comes down to what feels good in your hand and what you personally shoot the best . Have you priced both your options out?

I'd go with a Sig 1911 carry (4") model....but for accuracy longer barrel would be better

The Sig 1911s are costing quite a pretty penny....there are a lot of good 1911s out there. I wouldn't be limited to the Sigs...especially since they aren't actually Sig Sauer.

x2 "winz" ...look for a decent 1911

Not a whole lot of difference between the two pistols as far as price is concerned and I've owned /shot a fairly wide selection of 1911's over the years. I have only shot one sig P220 that belongs to a friend of mine and as previously mentioned was/am very impressed with the accuracy that this platform delivered. Having said that I must also admitt that I have not had the chance to shoot a sig 1911 so I'm really curious as to which one is the more accurate of the two?
