Having carried a DA/SA Sig 9mm for a few months now, I've started considering getting a .45 with the same features.
Not locked into a Sig, but I'd prefer steel to polymer and full size to compact.
Looked at a Glock a buddy has, wouldn't throw it in the trash but wouldn't be my first choice either.
Looked at the specs on a Sig 220 and am intrigued, but would want to hold one before I plunked down any cash.
Looking at the Springfield XD's on line, they're a possibility.
What I'm looking for here are specific recommendations, experience and comments on various brands and models.
Thanks...
DA/SA .45ACP?

DA/SA .45ACP?
An empty weapon is just a very expensive hammer.
I've owned and shot a P220 Sig in 45acp for around 20 years now and I can tell you that it is a very accurate pistol straight out of the box and has been 100% reliable with everything I have feed it except for the old Black Talon rounds, which would not feed properly when the slide was slingshot on the first round in the mag. Once the first round was fed into the chamber, the remainder would self-load from firing. I've had a lot of firearms and a lot of them have gone too, but that Sig has remained in my safe. Hope this helps

Timing is everything...
Checked the local trader rag online, and there was another P220 in it close enough for me to go look at and in my price range.
Made arrangements to go look at it today. It has a little holster wear, but the barrel and internals look nearly virgin. I don't think it's had many rounds put through it.
Feller had put tritium night sights and Hogue grips on it, both of which I'd have done anyway. Original parts were in the hard case, along with an extra mag the the printed material.
We agreed on a price and he threw in a couple of holsters for it. They're right-handed and I'm not, but I can always use them for trading fodder...
