Sig 1911's

[Dimitri A.]

I've always been a Colt snob when it comes to 1911's, but I've really started liking the look and feel of Sig 1911's. For those of you that own them, which ones would you recommend? How are the XO's? I thought I had read that they had issues in the past but am unsure.

I have an XO and a stainless rail. Both have been 100%. They are good value for the money.
A couple of points:
- All Sig 1911's are series 80
- All have an external extractor
- The non traditional models have a slide design that mimics the P series guns so getting a holster to fit may be a problem.

Overall they are pretty good. The original models were kits provided to Sig by Caspian and they had issues. Those issues are long gone.

You do get some extras like a checkered front strap and a match barrel as standard.

I got a 1911 Scorpion a few years ago. Its been great so far. Its my only 1911 at the moment. I would like to get other 1911s but its hard trying to find ones with rails.

I have a Platinum Elite which is great. Shoots as good as my Colts or Springfields

I own a Tac-ops.
It started getting the 1911 3 point jam.
I believe that I have fixed it but have not been back to the range yet. I will be doing a write up of it on 1911forum after the range test.

I have (2) Sig 1911s. Scorpion and Stainless w/ rails. Sold the stainless to a goodbuddy because he really wanted one and I have (5) 1911s.

Nothing but good things to say about them.

I have a Nitron rail and a Nightmare carry. Both are very good 1911s.

I have a stainless rail and it is my most accurate pistol.

I have standard traditional 1911's from various makers including sig. I have the Nitron railed version that i run a CT on.

I like the sig 1911 because it's not a true traditional looking 1911. More of a modernized 1911 if you will. I give props to Sig for breaking out of the mold and putting there own twist on the 1911.

I definitely would and will pick up an additional model 1911 sig in the future.

I owned a Scorpion 1911 Carry for a little over a year. Very nice and reliable pistol with a lot of features for the price. I just never warmed up to it, not sure why. Maybe it's the square slide, or the external extractor, or the magwell/grip combo. I sold it and the new owner loves it, so it's definitely a personal preference.

My Tac-ops is also the most accurate shooter I have despite the current jam issue I was talking about.
One big plus is that Sig's barrels are some of the most accurate stock barrels of any gun.
