In a Bargain Hunter feature in the July 2014 issue, Contributing Editor Bob Campbell examined whether it was better to buy a quality used handgun or a new economy handgun.
So we tested a used SIG Sauer 1911 C3, against the American Classic ACC45B and the Rock Island Tactical II Compact.
As for accuracy, the SIG was the winner. The most accurate loading was the Fiocchi 230-grain Extrema, with a five-shot group average less than 2 inches.
