Can't disagree with any of that. I consider 9mm for target and fun shooting although I wouldn't want to get hit with one.Any Sig I have that accommodates a .40 Barrel has a .357 Sig barrel in it and the .40 barrel is in the safe. I personally prefer the .357 sig round although I know many disagree with me for different reasons. With that said, If I anticipate the potential for any trouble, particularly the 4 legged kind, I'll have the P220 (.45) with me.

Oh, I love SIGS, I used to own a P220 in 9mm. Now I'm a 1911 fan though. Would love to own a GSR some day!

"... how about the taurus with the ported barrel? Does it really work to cut down the muzzle flip.....?

Dunno, no experience with it. Mine is pretty conventional.

Before I bought my Taurus, I learned that they are made in Brazil from Baretta machine tools and specs.

I like mine.

Interesting. After all these years, ball ammo may be the best, after all..

Thanks!

The Glock is easy for anyone to learn, I wonder why they just didn't opt for the Glock 22 or 23 like the FBI carries?

I agree with you on the virtues of Glock and they make sense for the Coasties since the tennifer finish would be nearly impervious to the salt water. Plus, they're dishwasher safe! But I think that the FBI has also gone to the Sig IIRC. Except HRT which uses 1911 45's.

I have a Glock M27 and some of the M22 Hi-Caps to use for backup on trips. But I prefer to use my Sig P245 for my usual carry gun. Something more ummmmmm authoritative about a .45! I've owned both a Glock 21 and a Glock 30, but I find them a bit too blocky in the ergonomics area. Like holding onto a 2x4. But then, I have rather small hands. So I like the Sig P245 (w/tritium night sights) and I use Sig P220 8rd mags as backup. I'll eventually get a Sig P220 with an integrated rail so I can also mount a SureFire X200 gunlight and perhaps some Crimson Trace laser grips. This will become my dedicated house gun. On long trips, I'll take it as a compliment to the P245 and for my wife to use in a crunch.

Guess the torch has passed Jack. I tried to love my 1911. I really did. I just couldn't get past the feel. Whereas my Glock 30 felt like I was holding a champagne flute, that thousand dollars Kimber felt like I was holding a carburetor.

Very, very disappointing.

I was hoping to get a line on a Clements custom without the seven month wait and Mickey has a used, factory made, rubber gripped Magnum Research chambered in 500 Smith in his shop.

No problem about the time or effort. I had already looked it over. I just didn't know you were posting about Ammo Depot until you described the gun and named the shop.
I suppose I should have put two and two together because I think it was you who mentioned your favorite shop in Caddo Mills.

Ah, the 40. Travis calls it the 40 Short & Wussy, but I never call a 155 grain Speer Gold Dot screaming at 1250fps, "wussy". It doesn't mind being called "short", though.
