I am nearly certain(ammo is expensive) that I would like a robust .45 in addition to a 9mm(all but sold on the M&P). I love the heavy guns, so stainless is what I am interested in for the .45.
The thing that concerns me about the 1911 is the commitment to keep running. I want something that is going to take a beating and beg for more, not require me to become an armorer to keep the firearm reliable. I already have a job... It seems to be the collective opinion that the 1911 trigger is second to none and the feel in the hand is awesome. I do like the nostalgia associated with the 1911.
The Sig P220 has features I like as well. As one who is mostly familiar with stainless double action revolvers, the DA/SA is attractive. I also like the idea of a decocker to put it back into DA ready. I had an E model in my hand that looked and felt good and had the SRT trigger and seemingly weighed nothing. The E models are not stainless. I am not sure how much this bothers me. The stainless Sigs do feel fat in my hand. I have not held one with the thin trigger and grips(I truly like the looks of the elites) to know if this negates the fat feel. I believe that the P220 borrowed some mechanical designs from JMB in the creative process...
While I am intrigued with the CZ 75, I believe I will pass and would like to keep the discussion to the 1911/SIG P220.
What say the board?
