bowpay · January 20 2017 01:49:21 AM MST

Updated this post to a list of 10mm SA DA (Double Stack) options in case anyone else was looking for the same thing. If you have another to add please post it so I can add it to the list. I know I included a non double stack but the P220 has always been one of my top choices so I had to include it as a possibility. Thanks!

1. Sig P220 Lipseys (Reverse) (NON DOUBLE STACK - I love this gun so have included it as a visual comparison)
a. Decocker
b. 8+1
c. 39OZ (2.44lbs)

2. Grand Power P40 10mm
a. Decocker Safety
b. 14+1
c. 27.2OZ (1.7lbs)

3. EAA Witness Carry polymer

I have both the 220 and the Grand Power. Love them both and both have been flawless for me. I did have the magazine drop issue but I changed my grip slightly which may have had something to do with it. Regardless it hasn't happened in the last 500 rounds. Very cool platform, it is a rotating barrel system and it takes a bite out of recoil and the distance the brass flies. The 220 runs great also, solid steel and shoots great as well. If I had to choose one it would likely be the Grand Power, but I don't have to ${$default_smiley_smiley}$

Thanks for the info. For the price I decided to pull the trigger on the P40. Thanks for the info hopefully I get one that is solid. I also decided to get a Sphinx SDP compact 9mm. I think I am on a gun craze lately. HELP!!!

Thanks I updated the list in case anyone else was looking for the same thing. Would you recommend an EAA over a Sig P220 or Grand Power?

Your #3 is the EAA P-Carry. The Witness Polymer is different. And the Witness guns are not decocker models.

Edit: I see you changed it. You can add the P-Carry to the list. It meets your criteria.

Updated - thank you! I thought I saw a listing or two that said they were decocker models. For me coming from SAO a decocker is extremely important. When my wife shoots she will also want a decocker as holding the hammer will be a bit too hard for her.

My Witness "Longslide" (DuoTone)

a. Safety
b. 15+1
c. 41.9 oz

When I run it as a Semi Compact (my DTD Carry), the Gun is 3.2 oz lighter

You won't go wrong with one of the full size witness guns. Dead reliable, strong as a tank.

Quick update...

I decided on the Grand Power P40 10mm. I have not shot it yet but a couple of initial impressions I wanted to write down.

1. Really light weight - at least fills that way in the hand vs my 9mm sphinx and other 9mm handguns.
2. Light weight sort of makes it feel cheap
3. The decocker does not rebound after decocking the gun. Have no idea why they could add in a spring to bring it back up.
4. Grips are not replaceable as it is all poly
5. Putting it back together is a real PITA!! I thought I would never get it back together. I only take it down once in awhile so not a big deal.

If it shoots well I can look past pretty much everything although replaceable grips for G10 would have been a real winner.

Well you need to test that thing by shooting it to make sure it will function reliably.
You also mention the 9mm sphinx...
Now that's a gun I really wish that would have become available for sale here chambered in 10mm...

Sphinx 3000 10mm

Hello Wade,
Thank you for contacting KRISS USA. The SPHINX 3000 series of pistols have been discontinued for several years now. The only way to obtain a SPHINX 3000 chambered in 10mm is to find one second-hand. We are planning to bring back the SPHINX 3000 hopefully in 2018 but it will be chambered in 9mm

WTF!!! Is that for real? DA/SA double stack decocker?!? I LOVE MY 9MM!!

bowpay · May 19 2017 01:50:37 PM MDT

Just finished up shooting about 20 rounds through it. Twice it failed to go into battery and the final shot I got a stuck case (of course this could be related to the target ammo). I was seriously surprised at the lack of recoil on this gun. Of course the lack of fire power could be why it failed to go into battery. Ammo specs below...

10mm 180gr. TMJ

I never lubed up the gun since I bought it so maybe with a little oil and polishing on the rails it might help to clean it up.

I was looking for a good double stack 10mm in da/sa... hard to find. Yes there as some as shown, but not what I wanted.

Settled on the Sig 220/10mm just like the first pic ( Lipseys version )

Today was second day at range... fired DT Hunter and DT Defense.... all fired well not one issue in total of 300+ round ( 5 types of ammo ).
DT cases mic'ed out at a nice .427

Funny you say that because I am going to pull the trigger on a Lipseys version. I am going to sell this Grand Power. I live in Brown bear country and I am not going to take the chance on a weapon possibly not working when I need it the most. Glock would be my other choice but DA only really scares me with accuracy. I figure the first shot on a DA/SA would possibly frighten what ever is coming at me and the second shot should be dead on.
