I had a Sig P220 Elite carry SAO for a while and it was a great gun; just too big for my little hands. They are a very thick gun and the stock grips don't help. The new aluminum grips thin the grip out nicely. The stock trigger is not as good as most 1911's out of the box but its not bad. Its probably similar to a Springfield trigger as I find them to be heavier then most OOTB. Mine was dead nuts reliable and very accurate. I also found the thumb safety to be quite stiff and took alot of effort to engage and disengage. Good gun; not quite a 1911 but close in some respects and wouldn't take much to switch platforms. Sorry for the hijack, just thought I'd add my experience to the pile.
