Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpion
This bad boy is one slick gun. My buddy was gettin married in TN this past weekend and so my other buddy and his fiance, freshly an officer of the peace, wanted to stop by a range seeing as they are from the USSNY and he hasn't ever actually shot a handgun. So she gave her Glock19 with the NYS Police Plus trigger a small break in. Small aside, that is a disservice to police EVERYWHERE. The trigger pull was like 13lbs. It was awful.
Anyways, back to the 1911: I realized I hadn't ever actually shot .45ACP! Those bullets are MASSIVE. Well, at least compared to 9mm. But the gun was extremely satisfying. Fit and finish were great, the trigger pull was smooth, crisp, and extremely repeatable, and the weight balanced perfectly. I will say the grip shape was a little different, very oblong, but I was just guessing that was due to the shape/length of the bullets. It get's a big A+ for me and both my buddy and his fiance enjoyed it once they got used to the recoil. But that Glock19 NY Police Plus trigger was a big pile of poo. I could even see her developing a bit of a flinch when she had shot very well at the academy. |

I have been drooling over a P220 Emperor Scorpion in 10mm. I may need to save my pesos up for one before too long.

I've got the stainless Elite P220 in 10mm, the fixed night-sight model. Great gun, accurate and built Tank-tough, albeit the 8-rd mag capacity is overly stingy. Sig should've offered a P220 model in 10mm decades ago. Had they done so, likely as not, the departments and LEAs which initially choose Smith's 5" 1006, 1026 - or even the .45 model, the 4506 (which LAPD issued for a time) - would have gone with the Sig. |

It feels like a legislative attempt to help avoid blame. |

I like it when I've shot my 9s for a while and pull out the .45 and ammo for a range trip.
The box of 230 grain .45s is heavy! And they do look much bigger than the 9s after you've dealt with 9s for a while. Love that cartridge! |

Is it just me, or does "Emperor Scorpion" sound like the name of the boss villain in an 80s low-budget fantasy action movie?

Completely agree with the cheesy name, it is funny.

All that said, it is not difficult to master the NY1 trigger if you are willing to put in the range time. |
