[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 711349, member: 817"] [b][Broken External Image][/b] another view [b][Broken External Image][/b] There is actually a ton of info on these SIGs out there. As you would expect most of it is on the Sigforum. People who don't own one tend to disparage the short grip. People that own one love it!. I find the P245 one of the most accurate and soft shooting .45s I own. There are a few things you can do to make it better. Mine has a Grayguns Carry Reduced Reset Action Package (CRRAP-great name!) and I have added Hogue SIG re-checkered grips and the base plate from the 220 compact magazines. There are differences other than the beavertail. The P245 is a folded slide model and the P220 compact is stainless slide. The magazines are interchangeable and the base plates of the compact are ever so slightly longer than the 245. To me, the folded slide SIGs feel different (much better). This was my primary carry until I converted over to DAK SIGs some time back. Unfortunately you cannot convert a P245 to DAK.
