The Obvious Comparison

When you make any semi-auto in .45 ACP your work is going to get compared to the Urfortyfive, The M1911 (or M1911A1 which is more common).

In its original form, the .45 ACP SIG-Sauer P220 doesn't even have a higher capacity.

What it is, though, is lighter.  Half a pound lighter, which is a spare magazine's worth of mass.  So for the same weight, you get seven more shots than the M1911A1.

You also get a DA/SA trigger and a firing pin block.  The magazine release can be reversed, but that's the only control which can.

The sights are, theoretically, better; but I shoot the M1911A1 shown here much better than the P220 shown.

The grip has more girth, but feel is a personal thing and subjective.
