Since posting I have done a great deal of soul searching on my "needs" of a PDW and caliber. I have decided to stick with the .45 ACP after researching, looking at modern 9mm/40/10 loads and cost comparison. 500 rds of ammo per session is about average for me and I can/do this several times per week. I can do .45 TRC Lead for about .10 per rd. I don't have to say anything about the ability of the .45 ACP.
Currently I have a Sig P220 which I like for several features. It is easy to break down for basic cleaning, accurate and reliable. It points as well as any M1911 I have used which says a great deal. I like that I can keep it loaded and safe in my shoulder rig. I detest that I cannot carry it in condition one as the DA is atrocious and thumb cocking is slow compared to the M1911. My first pistol was a Single Action Colt and it is fast and accurate on the first shot, same for the M1911. The downsize is lowering the hammer on the M1911 and keeping a rd in the chamber. For me to clear the chamber each night is impractical, the Sig does not require this. Also for some reason Sig is withdrawing from the .22 Conversion kit and not supporting it for the P220.
I know for fact I can keep a human form "interested" out to 200 yards, after that I run out of slide. I have been able to do this for the last 50 years and continue today with this ability. I have decided to get a new Springfield Armory G.I. 45 with a .22 conversion kit for it. I would like to have a Colt, I refuse to pay the extra for the name value.
Back in 1984 during the Army trials the Army found the T/C projectile is a good one and better then the RN. With this I don't understand why the Army continues with the RN.
Another thing I like about old slab sides is that I can break the pistol down without the use of any tools. All the tools I need John Browning built into the pistol and this is a plus. I have broken my Rem-Rand down many times without any tools, save for what is built in. I cannot do this with my Sig and I find this bothersome.
Comments, concern?
