    Who buys a .45 these days, I guess me

    I went to my LGS to attempt to trade my stupid 30 round Sig mags for 21 rounders. My buddy said, no problem. While looking I see a Sig Legion 220 Optics ready on the shelf. I asked, can I apply the mags to the gun, "no prob".

    Out the door I go with my new Sig. I don't have any .45 guns with a RDS, so this scratches that itch.

    Two bonus points for me:
    Their new optics ready guns accept any RDS, drilled and tapped for both foot prints with no stupid plate.
    The gun fits my 226 Holsters, God Bless America.

    I’ve wanted a Sig P220 for the last 30 years (practicality has kept me from buying) and that one is nice.

    If running a rmr pattern, there will be a gap. I know CHPWS makes a very thin plate that the screws go straight through that fills in the gap and gives you recoil lugs.

    I just picked up a Colt Series 70 Classic naked slide and a bunch of Harrison Retro parts for a winter project. Figured I ought to have at least 1911.

    Nice. I have an older P220 (.45ACP). I have contemplated on buying the LEGION model in .45 and/or 10mm. I already have two P229 LEGIONs (one is the RXP), a P226 LEGION, and the XFIVE LEGION.

    I'm looking at a Glock 21 Gen 4. G21's seem to be somewhat under the radar these days.

    I finally joined the 1911 club. I put off getting one for many many many years. Then I went to the range after work with some buddies and he bought a stainless Garrison while there. I tried not to shoot if, I did everything to avoid shooting it. Then…… I shot it. My groups at 15yds went from 3-4” with my G19 to almost touching with the 1911. I was hooked, I bought a Dan Wesson specialist in duty black a few days later. That is one fine shooting gun. I almost went 9mm, but you got to have at least one 1911 in 45…..right?

    Yes. That WILL be a fun project.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Gorgeous gun. I still think the .45 is awesome.
