Happiness is a new gun 2

[O'Dell]

I still like my SIG C3, but I have to have a jacket to cover a belt holster to carry it. It has a 4.5 inch barrel, but is fairly light for a 1911 since the frame is alloy.

Thanks Colonel, I'll let you know on the fitment when mine arrives. I can't warm up to the idea of carrying around a full size 1911, or anything with a barrel longer than 4.25". Would if I had to, but thankfully there's choices to make. If I had my own range I'd probably own longer guns.

That's a nice C3. I may end up with one of their 1911s one day.

Oh, and apparently Garrett doesn't have the 210 Carry on their list of supported holsters. Darn.

I love your C3 too. Been looking for a lightweight commander size. The alloy frame makes a big difference. I've grown accustomed to the steel but really want a lightweight one of these days. Seems my wants never seem to end these days.

Contact them and you'll probably get a response from Sheryl or Bob the owners. When I got my EAA they ordered a blue gun for a model, turns out they were thinking a different model and a regular Colt Rail Gun worked perfect. They most likely don't have a model yet since they are so new and probably not many request yet. Maybe models not even available yet but I'm sure they will make you one if they can get one.

Thanks Colonel. This review of the P210 Carry at guns.com has some good pictures and comments about size comparisons and holster fitment.

I have a few leather Commander holsters I'm going to try before I go on a hunt. I've gotten good mileage out of multi-purposing leather holsters. If my JIC holster fits it I'll be tickled pink, because the holster would do the Carry justice.

I just took the grips off my 210 Target and found there isn't a hook in the grip on the front. It relies on a really good fit and the one screw. It's basically flat on the inside or would be if I just covered the frame. There's some mighty tricky angles and they would be tough but not as tough as I anticipated. I'm not sure I'll bother though as the trigger is spectacular but way too light for a carry gun. The Target grips feel so darn good in hand, I'm not sure I'd want to take them off anyhow.
Guess I'll keep an eye out for a Carry.

Trigger pull on the Carry is supposed to be 3.5-4lbs. Kind of light for my tastes but it's better than 3lbs (for carry).

Can you post a pic of your Target?

[Bawanna]

The grip really adds to the length. The magazines to have a thick baseplate which is flush with the wood. Making some flush with the frame and finding a thinner baseplate if one exist would reduce the size considerably.

[dao]

The standard and carry models use a smaller baseplate. The grips still extend below the magwell but not nearly as much as yours does, so they don't need the tall baseplates.
Beautiful gun though!

I'm watching a couple Sig C3's. Right now extremely reasonable but with a few days left I'm sure they will skyrocket. BUT, maybe I'll get lucky, never happened before but maybe this time?
