It could have been. I don't think of myself as knowlegeable about guns though unless you caught me right after I shopped for my P2022. I spent a few months shopping. Mostly at Sportsmans' Warehouse, and Cal Ranch because they aren't picky about letting your hold their display models. I finally went with the Sig because I wanted an external hammer. This was after I gave up on getting a 1911 because I have small hands that smell like cabbage.
