I own a few SIGs and I love them. The 227 is a double stack 10+1. The only problems with SIGs and the reason why they are not more prominent in competition (the only other time when people act like shooting is a matter of life or death) is they have high bore axis and a long trigger reset. That makes high speed controlled fire problematic but still doable with enough training. A less important factor in competition but more important in the field is that they are heavy compared to most other pistols out there, of course that is a factor in why they are accurate and dependable.

If the choice were mine I would go with S&W M&P CORE .40L Pro with RM02 Trijicons, extended threaded barrel, suppressor night sights, suppressor optional. Sure .40 is a compromise but it has proven effective and I like 15+1 over 10+1.

I have owned several P-226s, a single P-220 and a single P-225

The Sigs fit my hands better than anything other than the Browing Hi-Power. The Browning is still a fine pistol but it’s time has passed. No decocker, single action only, a bit of a complex trigger but that trigger is what allows that great grip.

I would be happy as an iced hog with the Sig P-227 in .45 auto. One of the advanced H&Ks in .45 might also be the right thing.
