I have a p220, and many 1911s. The 1911 has a better trigger.. but. The p220 is lighter, feeds every thing you put in it. If I had to take one to war, it would be a p220.
I'd still take my Ruger 1911 to war, because I can make 100 yard shots with that one all day long- might save my life in a real war if I have to switch to my pistol for whatever reason...
I have the p220 and 1911's and I love them both, but for carry I prefer my p220. The P220 and the 1911's will never be obsolete. Both great guns. Thanks for sharing
This is a tough one, I love my 1911, but I think the ultimate handgun is the p220. I will say that I've had quite a few of both over the years, but the older sigs are much smoother and better than the newer ones. I will say that the 1911 is great except for the weight, but if I had to choose one handgun it would be the sig p220
I love both these guns, but I was more impressed not with the gun, but my performance with said gun- a Glock 21. Had upgraded sights and sandpaper grip, but it was almost as easy to shoot as a Glock 17 (9mm version). Never thought I could shoot a .45 that good (fast, accurate).
The 1911 is a better target pistol. It's sensitive though. The P220 is a better duty/every day carry gun. It's less sensitive and eats nearly any ammo and is machined to combat tolerances.
I love my Ruger SR1911 5". Got it for Christmas back in 2015 and the first rounds I fed it were inexpensive aluminum case Blazer and no failures. To date still no failures. My buddy who was a weapons specialist in Iraq and unfortunately saw some nasty stuff took me out to his shooting spot and couldn't believe how tight the SR1911 is. He said he was going to sell his Kimber and get one! Now I want to get the SR1911 Officer .45 for carry options. I saw your other video comparing 3" and 5" 1911 ballistics. Almost looks like my old stomping ground in Missouri. Thanks for the videos, just subscribed.
There are several more differences than just DA/SA. The operating system is different. The way the barrel links up is different. The way the brass is ejected is different. etc, etc,.....
I have a sig 226 MK25 and like you I find the way it finds itself back on target to be phenomenal. I had a ruger commander and put 4 clips thru it. Then a FNX45 Tactical fell in my lap. I ended up donating the commander for a good cause. The 911 feels better in hand for sure. Such a great gun then and now. 💯🤟
Great comparison, I own two 1911s a custom full size that I built myself and a SA stainless champion that I shoot very well with. I also have a P220 carry that I don't have a lot of trigger time with but am getting better with it. In the market for a P220 full size when I can find one for a decent price. Thanks for posting!!!
If you hit to the left with the sig you need to put your finger all the way on the trigger your pushing the gun to the left by using the tip of your finger to pull the trigger
@@BuckeyeBallistics are you sure it's the sights and not your trigger discipline? Not being facetious or anything but unless the sights got knocked they should be on. Most people assume it's the sights when it's the shooter
A lot of guns aren't 100% zeroed out of the box brother. But I'm not ruling out either possibility without shooting from a bag to confirm shot placement...
One of my first 45 acp pistols was a Colt light weight commander and I shot that gun for many years and then I moved on to the wonder 9s and wanted to go back to a 45 acp and bought a Sig P220 and I loved the way it felt in my hand but because of it's high bore axis for me it was one of the most unpleasant pistols I have ever shot. The Colt LW commander was so much more pleasant to shoot than the Sig and I sold the Sig and bought another Colt 1911 and I have never shot another Sig since.
@@firethedems and everyone i see test these say the P220 handles recoil better than a 1911. Hate to blame it on the shooter but it seems like its not the gun.
When you did the accuracy, you counted one of the 1911 holes for the SIG. Not counting your fliers, your group was tighter with the SIG. Actually, even the flier was better. It wasn't as far off with the SIG.
Love both mine. Love 45acp with the right defensive ammo and test all that I carry for defense as well. Both are quality guns that shoot well no doubt about it . NO INSULT TO YOU AT ALL but i find the complete opposite in shooting as far as "felt recoil" or at least my definition of "felt recoil" for me "wiggly" also means more "pain" or recoil or jumping while shooting. To me the opposite is true of a heavy ass all steel non alluvium frame 1911. They are the very best to shoot for comfort and follow up shots because the weight takes away the recoil compared to a light=weight framed gun. Just carrying them can suck on your hips back and body if you carry them for longer periods of time. Great video and thank You sir.
Boy do I love my Sig 220 and my 1911's. Both great guns but I prefer my 220 with the factory10 round extended mag for OWB carry in the colder months with a midsize coat concealing it. Great video and thanks for posting.
Great video thank you for posting. 1911 is def a sexier looking gun haha. Have you shot other brands of 1911s? I saw the two tone kimber 1911 and it wasnt much more expensive then the ruger, atleast with todays prices. Im guessing the ruger is your favorite 1911?
Yes I have shot many other 1911's on the channel, and I actually made a 1911 playlist on the channel if you would like to easily access them all. Yes the Ruger is my favorite so far, and yes it eats anything I feed it, including steel, and has never jammed. The same could be said for Tisas and Rock Island, which are much more affordable and have been featured on the channel as well.
First off you didn’t shoot the Sig the proper way you would carry it. You shot it in single action. You would not carry the Sig this way. You would have to start in DA.
You can carry it SA just like the 1911. Whether or not you carry it in SA or DA is up to the user. So what you meant to say is, *YOU* would not carry it this way, because you do not speak for me and my methods...

I agree! My 1911 jams on some jhp. my sig 220 eats everything!
@@BDAILY365 this is why my P220 is my SHTF gun. Any SIG product is excellent for this.
My 220 is the best shooting pistol I own. I feel like I can’t miss with it, and can pull off head shots at 50yards.
Yeah its def my favorite as well- Mine's so old is has 'made in W. Germany' stamped on the side : )

Appreciate the sub. We also more recently tested the Ruger Commander Light. I love Ruger 1911's, that's for sure.
You didn't miss because of the pistol.
I know right 😆

What happened, if I may ask?

P226 and SA TRP Stainless here. That's a fun day at the range.
Got both of these great video brother!!

You say that like the 1911 Bore Axis is low.
@@darrengarcia4937 The Bore Axis is higher on the Sig p220.

Wouldnt go to war with a 1911 simply because it has a grip safety. I cant imagine being injured and a grip safety being the reason i cant take a shot
I mean, if both of your hands are half blown off so that you can't grip the gun, then you're pretty screwed anyway...

sights need adjusting. You're hitting in the same spot as a previous Sig video you made.
john browning made his guns better than modern technology and if you didn’t say the 1911 you are ignorant
😂 that’s what I mean I can’t decide which one to buy so gonna have to buy both. That’s the best option I think since they both got such a good reviews
Both guns are definitely great...
I ended up with a h k usp45... But I'm looking at the sig now to add to the collections.
Give me the sig
Da/sa beats sao everytime
You're "wiggly" from squeezing the grip too hard. Hand fatigue.
First off you didn’t shoot the Sig the proper way you would carry it. You shot it in single action. You would not carry the Sig this way. You would have to start in DA.

and got the same ammo loaded in all my 1911's and Legion
Great video
Lmao the way he just pointed that jammed Sig everywhere but a safe direction 😂😂😂
Man I need a person to record me shooting.
No safety on a P220 DA and that's a bonus.
Apples and oranges!
Just gotta buy em both! 😅
Aesthetically a 1911.. practical use the P220 and it’s more reliable than a 1911.
nice looking firearms.
Thanks
