My wife has been shooting, and taking classes, and she just finally took the CWP class, she's been carrying her G43 concealed for the past few days, I feel better about her safety, pretty cool!

Always been a Colt guy and just recently decided to expand into the 10mm arena. Never had one, but have always wanted one. Of course I've looked to the Colt Delta Elite, but in doing some research learned about the Sig Sauer P220 Elite in 10mm. Intrigued with that gun in stainless and wondering if anyone here possibly has experience with that model or Sig's in general. Thanks. Steve

I definitely feel more comfortable when I can't be there that my wife can take care of things!

That's cool Steve. Got my wife to take the class and get her license, but she won't go shooting with me and she won't carry. Not sure why she took it in the first place. I would feel much more comfortable too if she would. Nice shooting by your wife!

No experience with the Sig, but I love the 10mm cartridge.

Sorry no experience with 10mm but Sigs are fantastic. We did a product testing with Sig down in Kentucky a few years back and had the pleasure of firing most of their pistols. All were great.

Well, finally jumped in and bought a SIG. I purchased a SIG P220 Stainless Elite in 10mm. Took delivery today although I of course haven't shot it yet. It's beautiful and I love the size, the heft. Fits perfectly in my hand and looking forward to shooting it. This was very hard to find. I posted on a Sig forum what I wanted and some guy referred me to a gun shop in PA. Called and they had it and I bought it.

Tried to post a picture but I can't get it to take. I successfully posted pics on the Sig forum, but can't here. I need to study the picture posting rules!

Do you hand load your own ammunition? With 10mm and other niche calibers like .38 super, the choices in factory ammo are relatively limited.

Actually, most of the major players produce 10mm. It's just a matter of if you can find it locally or if you have to order it, and whether you will need to take a second mortgage out to pay for it. Finding inexpensive "range" ammo is pretty much a no go though.

I really like my 10mm, it's a great hog gun in the woods. I have shot Sig, Buffalo Bore, Underwood, Hornady, and Federal out of mine with no issues. Some of the bulk stuff I have found has been spotty though.

Brian, no, I don't hand load today and have heard that about the 10 mm. I don't get out to shoot as often as I would like, so probably won't go that route. Thanks and I look forward to trying this baby out soon.

Anybody fired a S&W Shield in .45 acp yet? None of the local ranges have one for rent, this gun will be a "try before by" for me.

A friend in my shooting group has a Shield .45 ordered. Eventually I'll get to try it. Thanks for replying, Remo.

Haven't had much time to get out and hit the range but I've managed to squeeze in some reloading. Anyone get anything new lately?

Last thing I picked up was a Zavasta PAP M92 that I bought just for kicks. It's turning out to be a lot more accurate than I thought it would be. A fun range toy.

Those are well made and great for the price. I remember a few years back when I was handling a lot of different manufacturers products and it seemed like everyone and their brother was trying to get in the game.
