Updating a previous post I made about .45 choices. I have decided to go with an XD-45 compact for my polymer choice. The feature that sold me is you can get two guns for the price of one with a simple magazine change. Now I have to decide on whether to go with a SIG 220 or a 1911 pistol for my second choice? Any thoughts on this quandary( albeit a good quandary)? Looking forward to your input. Just wanted to do this before we getby some stupid new gun law(s).

Can't go wrong with either of those IMO, but my current choice is a P220.

On your choice between a Sig P220 and a 1911, just stare at these photos from Ken Lunde for awhile, and I'm sure your decision will come to you:

You'd love a 1911...get thee to a gun store and handle 'em all...

You know, I really, really wanted to love my 220 SAO as much as my 1911s. But I just couldn't do it. When you're talking single stack all metal .45s, there is no substitute for a 1911.

My Sig 220 was nice, but it just wasn't nice enough.

If your happy with the XD, why not just add an older cousin from Springfield?

Gosh... truth be told, I'm a 1911 guy. When I had to give up carrying a 1911, I chose the 220. I think its the next best thing to a 1911. There are a lot of really nice 1911's out there, and a lot of not so nice ones too. Every 220 is nice, no matter the trim you choose.
The other problem you will have is if you get a really good 1911, your XD will get sold, I'm betting. If you get a 220, your XD will get the boot too. So, its a toss up.

+1 on the 1911! 1911's are an addiction and they tend to breed.
