I'd always rather have a good 1911 at the range, tho. JMO. I'm sure the entire gun market has changed since I last bought anything, but here are the last few of my Colts that I still have photos of.

Yes, i've shot a Sig P210. EXQUISITE! I would own one, if they weren't about $2000 bucks used!
My P7 is just as accurate though (10yd group with Corbon 115gr JHP +P+)
I only have 3 mags for my P7. So even if i rapid fire all 3, reload the mags as fast as i can and then rapid fire all 3 again (i've done this with a whole 50rd box of +P++ Doubletap max pressure ammo), it stays reasonably cool. In some sort of extended firefight the heating of the triggerguard area of P7's could be problematic if you didn't have a glove, but you'd have to be rapid firing the snot out of it. For regular CCW or cop duty, the heating is in reality a non-issue. I want to pick up a couple more mags for my P7, 3 isn't enough for zombie duty, which is the gun's main use in my arsenal.
I find my P7 to recoil considerably less than a 1911 .45ACP, but i guess it's in the eye of the beholder. It definitely kicks less than a .38 snubbie with hot +P or any .40 cal.
I'm probably going to get mine mag-na-ported anyway, just because it's so damn cool looking.
My 6906 was mag-na-ported, and with +P+ ammo, especially 147gr rounds, it really made a big difference. I have convinced myself that mag-na-porting is a good weapon retention aid too, though some people seem to debate the point.
