A look at SIGarms

I took my brother-in-law to a local gun shop yesterday and began shopping around for something he can keep around the house. We actually looked at a few automatics and an 870 Tactical for first-line home defense.

The initial handgun line up was a G21SF, an XD45ACP, and a SA 1911 Operator. He immediately chose the heft of the 1911. I didn't think to show him a SIG until we were just about to leave. He really liked the SIG and I did too. I never held one before and really liked it, even more so than the 1911.

I've chosen Glock for its dependability and cost-effectiveness. My XD45ACP holds more than a P220, but the SIG merits a closer look. There's so much I still don't know about firearms, but that's the fun.

I just hope we can get to the range soon to rent one out and run it through the paces. I'm still going to pick up a G21SF for myself, but I'll be looking closely into the SIG for sure.
