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.

Yes, that's the one. Wanted a smaller carry weapon but cannot warm to the subcompacts. That's when came across the C3 and really was taken by it. Also considering the PPK Walther/SW now I guess, but that is a bit small for my hand. I do not care so much for "tupperware" / composite frames. My only experience with 1911 was when I was in the Army. Was not my issue weapon but we did train on them some. Thank you for responding so quickly. Yaz
