Opinions Please! Witness vs Sig

Don357 · 04-13-2008, 11:50 PM

I am considering trading my Witness Compact Polymer .45acp for/in on a Sig 220 .45acp. I don't have much expeience with Sig's but I do know that they are great guns, as are the Witness'. I do have a Zastava TZ99 9mm which is based on a Sig and really love it. I like my Witness and use it for one of my CCW's. The Sig is all metal and slightly larger but I can deal with that with the right holster, and I do have other CCW's. Now, before I start to sound like an idiot, how about some feed back. Help me make an informed decision.

SIG 220 !!!! But don't take my word for it, try shooting it. Got the 220 Carry Elite Stainless a month or so ago. The gun FITS me. Perfectly balanced for me. The only drawback at all is a kinda long first DA trigger pull (SA perfect).

After shooting it, for me it was a shoulda gun--shoulda gotten this gun years ago. 500+ rounds of all kinds of ammo thru it so far; nary a stoppage. Fits well in Bianchi IWB holster for me.

Nice looking pistol. 20yd, right out of the box, offhand with average shooter.

I have not shot a Sig, so cannot say. I do carry a Witness Poly Full 10mm andI just love it. would say try and shoot the Sig if you can. A lot is to be said about how the pistol "fills" your hand as well.

The Sig is a great gun! I have nothing bad to say about them. I would say that the trigger on the 220 especially is one of the best triggers you can get too. My vote Sig.

while sigs are decent guns, if you like and trust your witness, dont replace it.
