I went and groped some Sigs today. I think I am in lust. Now let me explain my dilema and get your opinion.
I like to buy guns that will last for many rounds and many years so that I can pass them on to my children (in working order) someday. With revolvers that has meant Ruger SP and GP series guns.
I am looking for pistols that fill that same bill. The sigs feel great (P - 245, 226, 229, 220, 239). These guns have aluminum frames and I doubt most of them will be offered in the steel frame version like the 220SS. So, what can you tell me about their durability in terms of years and rounds? I thought a SA 1911 was going to be my long term keeper of a pistol, but condition one is not safe when I look at how often I have to leave my gun off body.
Do you think a Ruger P94 would be more durable if I settle for an aluminium framed pistol?
Thanks for your input.
