XD 45 service or a .40

[Big country]

Careful with those SIGs, they are addicting.

The one I looked at was a DA/SA P229 .45 acp and it looks like it might take the leed all together. I got an offer to make payment plans on a SS Kimber match? for $800 but I don't have the money to put in to it right now but if that tax return is big enough next year I will get the gun I want whatever it may be at the time.

Which model? The P220 is the only .45acp model available (with the exception of their 1911s) from SIG. The P229 is a fantastic gun (I have the 9mm) that is available in 9mm, .40s&w, and .357sig. The DA pull on most SIGs tends to suck and be a bit gritty, but the SA is always nice and crisp and decent on the weight. That Kimber Match should also be a sweet shooter and the price sounds reasonable too. Between those two, you are definitely on the verge of a serious addiction. A SIG addiction with a side of 1911 addiction is expensive. Throw in a growing fondness for stainless wheelguns and you're screwed. Ask me how I know.

Yeah the 220! I know I will get one some day. My soon to be wife is dreading the time when I get money.

If you haven't shot a P220 before, you might want to wait until you have money to do so because you will likely want to buy one afterwards. Especially if you enjoy .45s. They are a joy to shoot and extremely accurate and reliable out of the box. If you and I find ourselves anywhere near a gunrange together, you are welcome to shoot one of my P220s to see how you like it.

Thanks for the offer! I do know that the 45 in a glock sub compact is a mother to control! but I like the 1 or 2 1911's that I shot, and folks say that except the DA first shot they shoot a lot alike. And if you ever get down this way look me up I'll shoot your gun for you

If you are worried about money (as we all are nowadays), then be careful looking into Kimbers! Addiction=Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II. Mmmm, Kimber. I'm a newlywed - but older guy - who is new to buying weapons, so each choice [like you are doing] should be methodical. Good job and good luck...thanks for the thread!
