Well I did something I thought I would never do again. I bought a new Sig. I was out running some errands and stopped by the local shop and there is was in the counter staring at me.
A Full sized P320 in 45 ACP. It was price right and asked to take a look at it. The box said it was built on Sept 2, 2015. I double checked the trigger and it is marked on the inside with a #2 which means it is updated adverse trigger which is supposed to cure the trigger slap some people have experienced. I double checked that the price was correct and then after a little bit of fondling I pulled the trigger.
It has standard contrast sights and came with 2 10 round mags. Medium grip module is on the gun. I might try the small down the line but even with my smaller hands the guns fits well. Smalls are out of stock everywhere. Sig and their vaporware... LOL It is my understanding that the P227s 14 rounders will work in this gun. Might have to look into that but for now the 10 rounders will work. One thing I don't love is the $40 mags but I can add more over time.
I do not have access to the range this week because my truck is on loan to a friend so he can transport a car so I could only shoot a few mags in my backyard setup where I mainly just test reloads. I don't like to shoot too many rounds because of the noise but a few rounds down the pipe is ok.
Only fired 20 rounds but the trigger felt good. It is a little heavier than I expected at 6lb 8 ounces on an avg of 5 pulls. It is smooth and does not have too much creep and resets nicely. The take up on the trigger is short. Shorter than the PPQ IMHO but then the trigger pull itself is heavier. I should be able to hard prep this trigger and shoot it accurately and at speed. Something I could not do with my PPQ M1 in 9mm.
I shot at a steel target so can't really talk about accuracy but at 15 yards it rang the steel with a nice center hit each of the 20 rounds. Once I am able to get to the range I will post my thoughts on it against paper targets but with its sight radius and barrel length I do not think that it will be the weak link in the chain.
Take down is simple. Don't need to fire it like you do a Glock. No specifics in the manual on where to lube it but anywhere metal rides on metal is always a good school of thought. IMHO I did not remove the fire control mechanism but will do that later this evening. Overall I am pretty happy with it especially at the price I paid!
