@rabbiteh The spartan is a steal for the price around 600

theres always gonna be the 1911 vs glock argument glocks are good for the money 1911's alittle more expensive both are very durable alittle more i think goes to the 1911. both are accurate. i have a springfield operator. and im about to pick up a glock in 4 months i want both........... that being said ...... i'll still take my operator or a 1911 though just like um better in my preference :D :P

[gshdrums]

sorry, best home defence weapon is a Glock 26 or 27, load them them up with i think they are 146 grain Hornady hollow points.....

hahaha best of both worlds gotta glock and a 1911 all in one

the sao on the p220 is very much like a good 1911 and the double/single is pretty good as well i find the 1st pull to be pretty stout and the subsequent SA to have a bit mushy take up but a nice crisp release...my issue with the glock is merely one of comfort...the grip angle and trigger...my sigs are alloy frames which prefer as well ( subjective observation ) the p220 and p226 are well known for supurb accuracy out of the box... as good as a well tuned 1911

Glocks are damn accurate, but i don't much like their triggers. There's a guy on here shooting at 50 or more yards with a compact glock. He's insanely accurate most of the time the guns are more accurate then the shooter. I've never shot a sig though hows their trigger compared to a glock?

I think the Springfield XDm has a hgher bore axis than my Sig 220. That's what it feels like anyways. The 220's kick is also fairly tame even in .45. Idk I'm no expert on specs, but I can tell you what works for me. Glocks don't work for me, I've seen their slides fly off, them jam up with muck and them hiccup on certain brands of ammo. Maybe it was that specific Glock 21 but I wasn't impressed at all. Plus... never forget your weapon is made by the lowest bidder ;)
