I probably shouldn't be starting a new thread about this dead horse, but I am really curious to garner some other rational people's thoughts about this pistol. Here's my (probably over-thought) dilemma.
I really want a 1911 since I don't have one, it's 2011, and I want a nice range/open carry gun. The problem is, I don't want to spend much more than $400 on a new pistol. This leaves me with the typical selection of ATI, RIA, or, if I were really lucky, a used Springfield GI. As we all know, these babies aren't exactly laden with features.
Enter the SP2022. For $350, I can't seem to find a better value out there. I guess my biggest reason for wanting a bigger pistol (currently only have a Kel-Tec PF-9) is that I want to join the ranks of the OCers when opportunity exists, and I would love to maybe get into some steel competitions. Those look like tons o' fun.
All that being said, should I get the Sig now and save up for a nicer 1911 down the road, or should I cave in to the anniversary hubbub and snag a 1911. Secondly, if I do go with the Sig, would the Siglite sights be worth the extra $50 over the standard sights? My gut says yes, but I have no experience with night sights to know what I'm missing. Perhaps there is a con or two with these that I don't know about? Thanks all in advance!
FTW!
