HDWarlord Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 How about this! And the DAO New Agent for a backup. http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/ColtPistols/ColtNewAgentSeries.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 HD thanks for the heads up. Colt kind of pissed me off with this one. Why make a featureless pistol? Why DAO? Why not DA/SA? No Trijicon sights? Why the Government model only?If this were all steel, commander size, DA/SA with a rail... I'd be standing at the gun counter with cash (and Trijicon sights) in hand.

6132expert Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just don't see aluminum holding up to several 1000s of rounds with little to no wear. IMO they went cheep and some filks will eat up the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6132expert Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I tell you what for as long as I can remember I have heard nothing but good about Sig and in the past few months I have really become a huge fan of Sig. I really am wantong me a P229 in 357 but that will have to wait until I get a reloading set up which is my next investment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've been shooting a P226 .40 for ten years now. I think I'm ready for an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I have only heard of one SIG issue...and it was a P220 Carry.One of our other instructors for SAFE had one, which was his daily carry. One day at the range, at around the total round count of 800 it quit firing. No dimple on the primers, firing pin appeared to be intact.He took it back to the shop, who stripped it down and found nothing wrong, did a thorough cleaning, and put it back together. It now fires flawlessy.But he has that little nagging in the back of his head.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 But he has that little nagging in the back of his head.The only nagging in the back of my head from time to time is my wife saying " do you really need that" or " if you really think you have to have it" or" no, no, no not until I get my stair case finished".Then I always say ok baby I will get to it as soon as I get this or that..lol I still have to get it done.

392heminut Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Weaponizer, I see you have an old Lyman turret press. That is the press I started out with when I started reloading, and I still have mine. Other than mine, I haven't seen one of those in years! I would hate to try and guess how many times I've cranked that handle up & down. Those things are as tough as an anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time i didn't know anyone who reloaded so i read, read, and read, by the time i actually loaded my first round (45ACP) i had read so much that i was scared that i was going to blow up myself and the gun lol...

That statement right there is the Numero Uno reason that people don't want to get into reloading...me included.Funny...tell people "All you have to do is pay attention to what you are doing and double and triple check everything," and they look at you like "Nope! That thar ain't worth it!"Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
