Is the C3 the 1911 with the Officer size frame and the Commander slide?

If so, I have heard plenty of good things about SIG 1911s. The only bad that I've heard is some fitment issues with made-for-standard-1911 holsters. I have shot a few SIG 1911s and have been very pleased with their performance. I just don't care for the way they changed the slide profile.

Remember going from your 229 to a C3, you'll be going from a capacity of 13+1 (if 9mm) to a max of 7+1. The manual of arms is also different if your 229 isn't SAO.
