1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

Thanks, since this thread started I’ve been trying to read and watch all the videos I could on the Tisas DS and the Sig 320 with the Brouwer 1811 conversions. They are just ounces apart from one another.

The Sig P320 wouldn’t be an option at this point.

Yea we are on vacation and I just read about the poor airman. I’m a couple of days behind in the news. Just a shame.

It’s a lot more than the latest incident. While the hysteria may be overblown, there are issues. And now that it isn’t hard to get a 9mm 1911 that works, I can’t see the reason to choose the Sig.

You used to be called a conspiracy theorist if you thought the p320s had issues. Excuses like aftermarket triggers, blaming the person handling the gun, etc only work for so long as more reports come out. That combined with sig's poor response have me passing on sigs for a while.

There certainly were a lot of issues with people and 320’s- it is an unforgiving pistol of poor gun-handling. There were issues with holsters. If it weren’t for the initial drop firing issue, and the unforgiving nature of the pistol- I think it is very likely that the actual 1 in 1,000,000 pistols or whatever that have tolerance stacking and issues would have just been swept away as poor gun handling. But, with those- there are too many people watching for issues now.

Agree. They have no margin for error now because any issue is magnified. Fortunately there are other options that don't have these issues like you mentioned before.
