A local shop here has both the sig is about 40 bucks cheaper which was surprising to me. I almost purchased it because I believe they have it marked wrong.

SIG: ambi safety
Ruger: single side safety
Sig :Novak style night sights
Ruger: adjustable rear sight.
Personal preference I guess. I'm a lefty and I don't like adjustable sights on a 1911, so for me it's the SIg all the way.
I have had my tacops 10mm for awhile, but would still choose it over the Ruger today.
I am the opposite. I find ambi safeties make it more likely the thumb safety gets "off", especially if am actually workin. And I don't care for the internal extractor but have no good reason why.
I do favor a different fixed rear sight.
Ruger. I'm bias.
I thought I added this...But I guess I forgot to click save.
Between these two, ultimately I would buy the cheaper one.
Hmmm....it's only $40 cheaper.
Though we had problems with our Sigs at work so maybe I am biased the other way.
Sig bc it comes with 4 mags :D

Are you referring to the current P229 controversy? From your perspective, is there anything you can share? I'd read the issue occurs with training ammo; is it also occurring with duty ammo?

I should say here...don't believe everything you read. I really cannot speak in public about this because it is still in litigation.
Wish I could say more.
Made my decision. The unboxing of

I would pick the SIG, simply because it is more user-friendly to a southpaw.
