First, Shout Out to Right to Bear Arms in Haubstadt, IN for hooking me up with this firearm!
Picked up my P227 (Sig, .45 acp, 10 rounds) on Thursday. Took it out to range (Sugar Ridge FWA) today for her first run.
I'm not great @ range reviews, but here goes:
First Impressions:
Grip for a double stack .45 was very comfortable. I don't have large hands, so was worried about the grip, but not an issue (yes, checked that out before actually buying).
Double Action Pull was typical of other Sigs I've shot, long, but manageable.
Single Action very crisp and light, reset could be better (I don't believe SRT is out yet for P227).
Accuracy: Better than I, pics below (25 yrds, off hand, and no, I'm not a 2" @ 25 yard guy, obviously).
Ergonomics: Very nice firearm, the P227 is a keeper for me, very comfortable, and recoil seemed lighter than my M&P 45.
Weight: I didn't weigh it but was very surprised how light it felt, compared to other Sigs I've owned. No featherweight, but didn't feel heavy.
Reliability: Only put 80 rounds down her, no issues, flawless. Tried various double taps, rapid fire, slow, DA, SA, etc., no issues.
Ammo Used: Aquila and Sellier & Bellot, FMJ Brass. (Left HP / Self Defense round @ house, yes, stupid, but good excuse to hit range again).
Magazine Availability: Zip, Nadda, Zero. However, seems the P250 mags will work with slight base modification, RTBA is ordering one in for me, I'll update if it works.
Recommendation thus far: Buy it if you can find it, thus far, it's my 2nd favorite full size .45 acp (HK45 being favorite).
Yes, I know, this tread is worthless without pics, so although not the best, here we go:
