Luger VS. Sig

[padredan]

my time in the military the issue side arm was the 1911a1,mine was a remington rand ,world war two issue,the military at that time really did not put alot of emphise on handgun training, it was a fall back weapon anyway. after joining the airborne, i was selected for armors school it was there i met the old school masters of the 1911, i absorbed all the knowledge they would trust me with and it is with me to this day. 100 years later and going strong, that says something about the 1911 platform. now to the sigs, after leaving the service i found a job i liked with the texas dps, thats dept of public safety, the title is a bit deceptive lol. issue for dps is the sig sauer in .357 sig, a round i learned to love and trust. i am showing a picture of a sig 229 in .357 cal, with extra .40 sw upper, this was my duty weapon, and yes we can buy them on retirement. it has thousands of rounds fired through it, only failures were with reloaded practise ammo, 100 percent reliable, the other one is a sig 226 that was tossed fro ma vehiche at around 100 mph, i took it to a sig armors school and it was rebuilt during the school, allso 100 percent reliable, either one i will and do trust my life to. Dps considers these the best in the world for use by their dept, i agee. padre
