Sig Sauer X-Five?

[Bounce]

Had a P220 (in .45 acp) for a long time. It set in the gun safe, unused for several years after getting my Kimber. I sold it last year for about $500 (including a long ported bbl, an extra recoil system w/full-lenth guide rod, and some extras). The grip was too bulky, the bbl was high above the pivot point, and it was a krunchentinker action.
If I were to be in the mood to spend a little cash, I'd be seriously looking at something from Kimber's custom shop. I shot one of their massaged standard-framed 1911's and I nearly had to clean my shorts it was so nice.

How long ago did you shoot the Kimber? I have an older one, and it is great, but ever since they moved their production facility a few years ago, I have seen their guns be hit or miss. Pun intended

my friend's custom kimber is a couple of years younger than my Pro Carry II. iirc i picked up the PC2 not too awfully long after it was put into production as i remember finding a lot of info about the Pro Carry but the gen2 was a rare breed at the time.

Still personally prefer the feel and manual of arms of the 1911 styles. The Sig was well built and functioned properly but felt awful to me - and i don't have small hands. One of my favorite pistols is my 6" bll Ruger Redhawk with Packm. grips, so that's not the reason for my preference. I suspect a lot of it's how much training and practice you do with either a SA or self-cocker action.

I shoot the Sig Pro2340 in both the ultra-cool .357 automatic bottleneck cartridge ...As well as the more traditional SW.40 cartridge. I like Sigs, I really like their Pro Line with the Polymer frame but that is just me $0.02

AKA .357 Sig.

An interesting idea, but makes reloading a REAL BITCH. About the same ballistics of the .38 Super.

Ultimately, it comes down to getting a gun that runs 100% of the time, and then practice, practice, practice. In my prime I was putting over 60K rounds per year through my competition .45. Like motorcycles, bullets don't stear themselves.

So inquiring minds want to know. Do you ever buy the Sig X-Five?

Sig Sauer P220 with Siglite sights. Made prior to the SigArms era where things have cheapened a bit in my opinion. Greatest creation to come out of the Sig Sauer marriage...
