So I have this problem...
I'm trying to decided between my Sig 220 legion and my new EAA Stock 1 10mm. They both shoot like a dream and I do like them both very much. I'm trying to replace my plastic 10mm woods carry piece. I have sold off all my Glocks. I have is down to the sig having a decocker which I really like and the Stock having greater ammo capacity. What do you guys think would be a better Woods gun?
I'm a Witness guy. My Stock 2 is the best shooting, best all around 10mm I've ever owned. But it's too pretty to be a woods gun. That's why I bought a 2nd one to carry everywhere I go!
But if you want serious firepower, you can do what I did. Purchased a used Witness hunter for $700. Sent it to a gunsmith and had it converted to DA/SA. So now I have the 6 inch barrel for extra power, with 15 round capacity and a DA trigger that I'm comfortable with.
I do like that idea! What was the cost to convert to double action?

It was about $200. However I already had the parts he could use to do the job from an old Witness steel model that had a cracked slide. Not sure if/how the parts could be ordered or if a gunsmith could manufacture the parts needed himself.
Any thoughts on going to the new Stock 1?

On paper, the EAA Elite Stock 1 looks to have the edge with the HC finish, polygonal rifling and some may prefer the bull / conical barrel. I'm sure the new Stock 1 is quite nice though. The new grip frame looks like it might feel even better.

Here is a pic
Going to be a hard choice
LOL, do not use +P 10mm. There is no such thing.
Original Stock I/Stock Buzz all the way.

Noticed that very same thing!!
Didn't notice that on the manual till now. I pulled it out and looked it over.
So are these not ok to eat a steady diet of Underwood? That might have made my mind up right there.
It is a generic manual they include with all guns of that model family, regardless of caliber. 9mm and 45 ACP do have +P designations.
I guess none of mine had the +P manuals with them :-X
I'm confused though. Your Stock I should already be DA??

IC, What Patriot was referring to was buying a used hunter and having it converted.
Still on the fence here.. I thought the Stock would have sold and it would be an easier choice to make. Will the stock hold up to a steady diet of underwood ammo? Let's say I update the guide rod and go with a 20lbs recoil spring. I only shoot full power ammo in my 10mm guns so want to make sure it will be up to the task.
The Stock I even has the bigger cone (bull) barrel in it. You will run out of ammo money shooting Underwood before breaking it! I haven't busted one of mine yet 8) More capacity and lighter ;)
This is a difficult decision for me to make, I might just keep both and forget about it. :)
Yea. When you shoot both, does one have a better feel to it?

I have to say the Sig goes feel better to me, it's a little thiner in the grip. That's because of its 8 rd capacity VS the Stocks 14rd capacity. Wish the XD would come out already.. I could fix all my problems. This whole search for another 10mm platform started because I didn't care for how large the G20sf felt to me.
You can thin the Witness down a good bit with thinner panels.

Any chance you could point me in the right direction?
EG Xtreme grips are the thinnest. The type getting all the buzz right now are LOK grip panels.
Here is a great read from thin-thick for Tanfoglios.
