Who are you and what have you done to the real Ala Dan? :) Well, since he won't say it, I guess somebody has to stand up for Sig Sauer --

Have you considered a Sig P220? :D

What is probably going to happen after the inevitable tribe war is someone will suggest you try out all 3.

Ooga booga! <beats spear on shield> Sig Sauer! Ooga booga! :D Sorry, mental image that I had to share. Try out all of them. Buy what fits you best.
 
1) 1911 or equivalent (the 1911 by definition is a full size, all steel, 5" government model in .45 ACP) my choice is the Kimber Classic Stainless

2) Combat Commander or equivalent (the Combat Commander is a 1911 with a full size steel frame but a chopped barrel and slide, the original being 4 1/4") my choice is the Kimber Pro Carry SLE or HD (these have 4" barrels)

3) Sig Sauer P220

4) Glock 21

5) H&K USP45

6) S&W 4506

These are my choices (in order of preference) in a full-size .45 meant for hard duty. And yes Captain, I have carried all of these guns all day, day in and day out, as CCW. I currently still have the Kimbers, the Sig, and the Glock and carry one routinely. Although I also have two S&W J frames in .38 Special (638 and 649 Bodyguards) they are usually carried as back ups to a full-size .45 and rarely carried alone as my primary CCW.
 
"How many of you actually carry a full size gun like you recommend here?"

Right here dude. With the right holster/belt combination and the right clothing, a full-size 1911 packs quite easily. To quote Mas Ayoob, friends don't let friends carry mouseguns. :)
 
I agree with what fix said. My first choice would be a 1911, Commander model, parkerized finish, low mounted fixed sights, with the triggered properly tuned.
 
Hey Mike Kilo Niner My Friend,

The real Ala Dan is present and accounted for, Sir!:D But, I
just had to vote for the H&K; cuz the Sig P220 is just too
darn pretty to be referred to as "Tactical".:rolleyes: :eek:

Best Wishes,

geez....

Are you guys getting old? This is way too tame for this topic. Where's all the frothing "Get a 1911 or get outta my country!" ranting??? :D

Just to spice things up I'll say that you should get a Sigarms Mauser M2 and use the extra 200 bucks to buy a thousand rounds of hardball. Check em out. 400 smackers and a nice concealable shooter packing 8+1.
 
Duckdawg do you like yours? Does it shoot well? I'm considering one... Uh, I meant...Get a 1911 or get outta my Country!
 
If you shoot a "tactical" weapon it at the firing range, is it still tactical?

Does a tactial gun need tactical targets?

Tactical bullets?

If a BG gets shot with a non-tactical weapon, is he just as dead?

Hummmmmmmm ...



:eek: :p :D :)
 
At $600.00 tops it get's a little tight. First I'd get a really top of the line COLT. Not a clone but the real thing.

and with $200.00 of the $300.00 still left I'd get this one.

Finally I'd use the last $100.00 for ammo.
