1911....( and I carry one ) ....because its the gun I shoot the best / and it fits my hands, etc....

Wilson Combat CQB model in a 5" in .45 acp is my primary carry gun ...and I'll stack its reliability up against any gun made ( and mine is about 10 yrs old and has at least 20,000 rds thru it now...and I find the thumb safety and the grip safety ...easy to deal with ( and I've done it for a long time )....not that a Sig 220 is unreliable, they are a very good gun ...but the trigger is not better than a well made 1911...in my opinion. I have an all stainless Sig 220 as well...but I don't carry it ...or my Sig 226's, etc.../ if I want a light gun to carry, I will carry a Sig 239 in .40 S&W or a 4" 1911 with an alloy frame ...

But you should carry whatever you want to carry...
