banky's Journal: I'm torn

This or this?

220

[sielwolf]

I'm not a big 1911 adherent and the 220 is a classic design itself. BTW, what are those channels they have on the bottom side now (the ones just below the rail)? At first I thought I was looking at airpistols :P

Re:

Accessory rails, for mounting lights or pointing devices (neither of which I'll ever need, but they're standard now).

Re:

[TechnoLust]

I concur. I like feel of the 220s better.

What's it for?

[JesseL]

Is this for carry, home defense, or a range toy?

Re:

Range toy; I no longer own a .45 (used to have a Ruger P-something) and thought, it'd be nice. My main home defense piece is a Browning Hi-Power Tactical (I'm experienced and comfortable w/ single action) and my carry piece is ... well I don't presently carry, I don't have a CCL yet, but I have a nice 9mm Kurz PPK that would make an excellent piece for concealment.

Re:

In that case I'd probably go for the 1911. It has a little more sight radius, a little more weight, and it's probably going to have a better trigger.

Plus, everyone should have a 1911 at some point. Mine is here [thehighroad.org].

Walther or Colt?
