I know! How about Glocks! They're not contraversial at all!

QK:
Nice try but I prefer a long trigger. You also left yourself open to the mil-spec vs. beavertail grip safety AND the flat vs. arched MSH ... but thankfully you left off any front cocking serrations.

Hmmmmm no. Although I think most of us have some sort of Glock alternative even if we don't have an actual Glock.

I don't see a lot of 1911 praising coming from the users of them in actual combat situations out of the vets I know. It was just another piece of tool in the arsenal for modern guys - once you had a semi-or full-auto issued rifle, the firepower aspect at close range largely vanished as a practical force.

More lives have been saved and taken with a 1911 than your SIG.

And even more have been taken with clubs and sticks.

Your point?

That's what the folks doing the combat shooting games always thouoght until the 220 owned their butts so much that they changed the rules to ban the version that killed 'em.

I don't see the 1911 guys doing 100m shots out here. The Sig owners I shoot with all do, and make them.

Then again, we're spending time practicing rather than swapping magazines and figuring out FTE and FTF problems.

Granted most all Police agencies issue either Glocks or Sigs, if you take a look at the "Speciality teams" they carry 1911's

Specialty units, like the SEALs and Secret Service and US Marshalls?

You know, the Sig users.

That post brought a smile to my face.

Thought the seals were using the Hk socom 23 with silencer package

rfurtkamp · January 30th, 2006, 10:05 PM

SEALs use a variety of handguns. The Mk23 is one. The 226 is another. Stainless S&W 357 too if I recall.

The Naval Warfare folks did a commemorative SEAL gun with Sig last year.

Im sure they use that. But the 2006 Sig catalog from Sig Sauer says this is also used by seals.
I do know that the Navy buys the sig 228 & 9 in large quantities. I have a close friend who graduated from the Naval Academy a few years back. Now he's a F-18 Super Hornet pilot and when he was flying over in Iraq he was issued a Sig-228 2 mags and a holster that is on his flight harness in case he has to eject over hostile land.
