I carried a European release P-220 for several years as my duty weapon and it was a nice weapon but I eventually went back to the good old reliable 1911.
The reason being, I worked a bad wreck with multiple injuries in the pouring rain one night. Then I had to go to county court the next morning on a felony DUI case, so I changed out of my wet uniform into civies.
I left my P-220 in the wet holster in the trunk of my Crown Vic over the weekend because tired as I was when I finally got home, I forgot all about it.
The next Monday afternoon when I went out to the car to get my Sam Browne belt, my Sig's slide had turned into red rust. I cleaned it up the best I could and soon traded it off for one of the first Randall stainless 1911's that I still own. The Randall had printed on the box, the only stainless 1911 fit for duty. I was very impressed with the service that full sized 1911 gave me which is why I still own it. Years later I ended up buying a new stainless Colt Combat Commander that I carried up until I retired in 04. I still own the Commander as well...
