Y'all may have already seen the thread from last week, but I didn't want this to get buried.

I picked up a Sig Sauer C3 as a wedding present to myself.


First things first, already bought ammo.

Looking to pick up a couple mags. I missed out on the Wilson Combat deal from Midway. How does the OB feel about Ed Brown vs. Wilson Combat? Will the EB's fit? The C3 is an Officer sized frame with a Commander slide.

Next up, grips. Gonna buy some VZ's. Just looking for suggestions what would look best with the two-tone matte stainless and black.

I don't plan on tinkering with the internals until I have a few hundred down range but are there any must have mod's I should look into in the short term?

Thanks OB

Shoot them and get new stuff as time goes on. I am interested to see how that 22 works out

Make sure it stays pretty, put it in the safe, and then strap on your glock and go about your life.

It's going to be my nightstand gun but it will get plenty of range use. I'm trading my Beretta PX4 in for an FNS9 for my truck gun.

Wilson Combat mags are legit. Buy those. Go play around on VZ's website until you find a grip texture and color combo you like. Come back and post pics after the upgrades.
