rimlerWhat Pistol to buy next
I am looking to buy a new pistol. That being said, I am a huge fan of Sig, I own a Sig P226R 9MM, that I have shot the crap out of. I have a P320 Full size 9MM that is almost as good. That being said, I am a fan of 10MM , I currently own Glock 20, Glock 40 MOS, and a Kimber 1911 Custom TLE II 10MM.What should my next pistol beP226 Legion 9MM SAOP226 Legion 9MM DA/SAColt 1911 Competition 9MMColt 1911 Delta 10MMP220 Elite 10MM DA/SA

archermanSince I recently picked one up, and I like it I voted for the Colt Competition 1911 in 9mm.
It is my first 9mm 1911 and so far I am really liking it.

Cobra21I voted for the Colt 9mm. That was difficult, because you noted how much you enjoy your 10mm's so I almost went that way. However, shooting a quality 9mm 1911 makes me feel like I don't suck when I leave the range!

BBMWRimler,
What would be the primary purpose of this pistol. Carry, Competition (if so, what kind), basic range toy?

mcs1564I voted for the Legion SAO, having just recently picked one up.
At the time, I was considering the 9mm Colt Competition as well as the Colt Combat Unit Rail Gun.
Ended up scratching the 9mm 1911 itch by buying a 9mm Government model off from a forum member last week.

BBMWAre you willing to pay twice as much to 2-4x as much to shoot 10mm over 9mm? Since you already have guns in each caliber, I could see why the answer could very well be yes.
Just randomly, since this is
SIGForum, I'd say go with the P220 10mm.

Just looking for a preference of the the forum. I am not saying price is not a concern, if it wasn't I'd buy all five, and then be divorced... Just wanting some input from the community.

eldeConsidering what you already have, the Colt 1911 9mm would be my choice.

DoctorSoloYeah a 9mm 1911 is the least similar to your other guns. I would go with that.
You have a lot of similar guns, you should branch out IMO to something nothing like the pistols you own. What about a nice rimfire or revolver of some flavor?

I know what you mean. The Kimber 10MM makes me look like a great shooter!

Well I own other firearms, just didn't list them. I have a Model 629 Smith 44 Mag, Model 686 357 Magnum, Halls 22 LR, Golden Boy 22 LR Lever Action, SW Model 10 (2 of them). I am sure there are a few more I am missing...

Billy346I voted for the SIG P220 10mm.... as long as you're not looking at the new hunter with the camo cerakote job. (What are they thinking?)
Hopefully SIG will start making the Elite SAO in 10mm again. I'd snap one of those up given the chance.

Yeah, the CAMO versions seams to be readily available... what were they thinking.

colt_saaWell from one fellow enthusiast of the 10MM Auto cartridge to another, it sounds like the choice for you should be a P220 chambered for the 10MM Auto cartridge. I have had mine for 5 or 6 years now and do enjoy it.
There is another route for you to consider. How about getting into a revolver?
Even though they are not currently in the catalog, the Smith and Wesson model 610s are very fine firearms and can be found throughout the marketplace.
The 10MM Auto cartridge really shines in the 6 1/2" barrel version and accuracy is outstanding
If you go the route of the revolver, since autoloading cartridges fired in a revolver headspace on the moon clip instead of the case mouth, you will have the ability to shoot 10MM Auto or 40 S&W out of the same firearm. You can even mix them in the same clip of you want
Plus if you are a hand loader you can have the revolver's chambers lengthened for the 10MM Magnum cartridge. This will give you 200-400 FPS over the 10MM Auto. You will then be able to shoot all three cartridges out of the one firearm.

I am a hand loader. The price on the revolvers are up there right now. But, love the options
