Is a p220 sig .45 the same as a 1911 if not what is the difference thanks in advance

Question

i want to know about a clip,,,,,,,i found a 40 round clip, that goes in like a normal clip but its round so it holds 40 rnds its made for a 1911 will it fit in my sig p220

Answer 1

p220 is Double action.  1911 isn't, "usually".  There are double action 1911's.  P220 has no manually safeties.  1911 does.  Do need more compare and contrast?  

Answer 2

About the only thing they share is the caliber.  The Sig 220 is a 'modern' double-action design.  The 1911 is an 'old' single-aciton on the the first shot design.  Both are good.  Some gun persons don't care for the single-action (first time) design.  Some don't care about the first shot being double-action or not.  So you see, it just a matter of personal preference.

In a semi-automatic pistol I prefer Glock's 'safe-action' design myself, which is sort of a 'double-action everytime' and feels more like a smooth double-action revolver in that every shot is the same.  I do own a 1911 but it is a Colt Lightweight Commander in .38 Super which I love as a shooter but would not be my primary duty-carry weapon if I had my durthers.  I don't care for Sig Sauer's customer relations department but do acknowledge that they make a fine pistol. And I favor the more powerful 10mm cartridge over the venerable .45 acp, but then, that's just me!  What's best is what works for the individual shooter.

The P220 is a double-action semi-automatic pistol with a hammer dropping safety. The first shot is fired double-action, with the hammer at full down position, the trigger moves the hammer to full c-o-c-k and then trips the sear permitting the hammer to fall and fire the first shot.  In most models, the remaining shots in the magazine are fired in single-action mode, i.e. the hammer is left in the c-o-c-k-ed position when the slide cycles to eject the empty and chamber a fresh cartridge.  Some variations are Double-Action Only, aka DAO, and use the double-action trigger pull for all shots, just like a double-action revolver.

The Colt M-1911, and copies by other companies, is a single-action semi-automatic.  That means that the hammer must be c-o-c-k-ed for the first shot, and the slide c-o-c-ks the hammer for each succeeding shot.

Answer 4

Completely different animal;s except they both launch 45 ACP.

Sig is Double/Single Action whereas the 1911 is Single Action only. Both semi auto and single stack magazine fed pistols.

The Sig has the edge on accuracy.
