Dare I express heresy and say that I prefer the P220 over the 1911?
I feel dirty just thinking it.
The more I take it to the range, the more I'm diggin' it.
It doesn't hurt that it groups pretty well for me too. I'm nearly at GURPS RoF 2 with it!

It's a bit odd to be reloading at seven shots after putting in so much 9mm practice.
Way back when I got it, it had those pretty wooden stocks on it. They felt really good while coon-fingering it, but the narrower plastic stocks feel much better shooting.
Some things you can't learn on dry land; or some other metaphor.
Ditto.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a couldn't-pass-it-up deal on a new P220 not half a year back. Like it better than the M1911s I own(ed).
I also single-shot point shoot it pretty well (laser rounds don't lie to you), which addresses your next post, and am about to add an under-barrel laser sight, so glasses become a secondary thing.
It'll do until they make homing bullets.
The only drawback is the mags that cost more apiece than the box of ammunition to put in them.
I got mine for a song. The milled slide made-in-USA P220's are killing the price on stamped slide Hecho en Alemania guns at pawn shops because they're often unaware that the German guns bring a premium.
DeleteAccording to the gospel of Colonel Cooper you were already an irredeemable heretic for your love of the Browning Hi-Power and FN FAL enjoy your P220 in peace.
