I'm really a Glock fan- carried a 27 for a while and came across a 9mm barrel at Midway on clearance for $99 so I got it and a couple mags and converted it to 9mm- it was fine but a little heavy with extra mag in same holster- picked up a 43 and got a couple 10 round mags for back up- then I traded for Sig 365 with a 10-12-15 round mag- carry with the 12 and 15 back-up- that's 28 chances to hit the target in the same space as all the others- I hit about as well as I do with the Glocks. Only problem is the mag release with let it loose occasionally- changed spring but it still does it. Any suggestions?

Over rated or over priced? Personally I think it's a firearm that does not perform well or unsafe, so I'd say the Sig 320 just because there are many sig fanboys. I'd say in spite of the fact I like them, 1911's in .45 ACP are very over rated. The .45 ACP has a minimal advantage over 9 mm + P rounds or .357 Magnum, the 1911 is SA only, has a relatively small magazine capacity and is not as accurate as many pistols out of the box. People spend $100's upgrading them or have gunsmithing done. The 2011's do resolve many issues but I have yet to fire one. I do like 1911's, just do not think they are as great as the legends suggest.

The darn little things are pretty and have the James Bond thing going, but holy heck they are snappy for a .380 !
As a typical young single man I generally pissed away my meager earnings on beer, bad women, gambling, and the rest I just wasted...So it was awhile before I finally accrued enough funds to get the Holy Grail of "cool" guns. The legendary Walther PPK! Geez what a cold shower that was. I ended up owning two because I had to make sure my first assessment wasn't an anomaly. It wasn't, I ended up trading them off. The main issue is the double action trigger pull, both of mine felt like about 25 lbs, give or take 5 lbs.
