    Sig Sauer 1911 Range Day

    Second time ever shooting my brand new Sig 1911R since I got it for Christmas back in December. I have loved this gun ever since I shot one of our customer's guns almost a year ago and, I must admit, I am still in love.

    The edges of the grip are slightly more rounded than most 1911s. This makes the grip more comfortable during recoil as it doesn't cut at my hand like most 1911s do. 1911s that have a tendency to hurt my hand (gripwise) include the Rock Island, Citadel, Ruger, and Auto Ordinance.The gun is also not excessively heavy and remains comfortable after several boxes of ammo. Though not as light as a Kimber, I find it to be the perfect weight for keeping my sight picture steady without wearing out my girly arms. It is my hands down favorite 1911 for looks, feel, and accuracy. (and I have shot A LOT of 1911s).

    On this day I shot new American Legacy (a house brand from Field Time Target and Training in Stanton, CA) 230 GR FMJ. I had no malfunctions. This ammo, like much of FTTT ammo is loaded a little on the hotter side which, for me, tends to be more accurate.

    I shot each group at eight yards at a 5 in. target. This was the first group (8 shots):

    The two subsequent groups were shot at the first group and then to the side (it was just a few minutes before work and I only brought out one target):

    Thanks for lookin!

    Nice groups.

          You got yourself a very nice gun and I'm sure you will be happy with it. Sig 1911's, from what I can see, are work horses. And no matter how much hell you put it through, it'll keep on running.

            Great shooting! I had some random feeding issues with mine so I sent her in to be looked at and did a factory trigger job. My gauge reads a little under 4lbs, but man does it feel lighter than that. I plan to take her out this weekend again. Congrats!

                  Very nice grouping! And nice gun, too. I had one before and foolishly sold it... I did not know better.

                  Curious to know, which other 1911's have you shot? You said you shot many and by far this Sig is your favorite.

                  Stay safe and enjoy it more!

                    I have the target model, and I absolutely love it, I let me friends who have never shot a 1911 shoot it and they couldn't believe how smooth she was

                        For sure. I switch off between carrying my Glock 17 and my Sig 220 at work, but the 1911 will stay nice in its case and only come out for target when i need to feel better about myself. Lol.

                              Be careful, she might end up a safe queen.
