Sig P220 vs. S&W 680

[Tyrion]

If you could pick only one (for now), which would it be and why?

P.S. How do .357 mag and .45 ammo prices compare?

680 cause already have the P220, I figured that was a foundation gun for collection and I came across one in 97% condition
no box and two mags for 450.00 with papers. I stole that one.

I have both. For carry the 360 hands down. For range or home defense P220.
Get both!

The 360 is a bear to shoot with .357 loads. It hurts. It is not a gun to h ammer at the range. It is s very light wheelgun is chambered for a powerful round. It is great to carry I pocket carry in a coat and it just disappears.

On the other hand the 220 is a great gun for the range. I can shoot it all day (as long as I have ammo to feed it). I like the single/double action trigger, smooth action, and accuracy.

It really depends on the primary purpose of the gun.

Never fired either of those guns, but .357mag was running about a buck more a box at Blue Northern, with the little .357 they had.

I'm partial to Sigs anyway but I've got to agree with this. I SEE .45 fairly often at the stores but I rarely see .357

and ptanks - holy crap! A steal is an understatement! Dude! Well done!

Mm thanks. I carry .40 because I am most comfortable/accurate with that caliber. I rarely carry too. People in MA just seem to be so damn nice. The only time someone has REALLY been rude to me in the past 8 years was at Showcase Cinemas in Lowell, and even then it was just posturing. I was looking for a new toy for the range, and a new caliber to be proficient with, since I don't own either a .45 or a .357 mag. Home defense is a 12ga shotgun all the way.
