First 1911!!

[VoxVeritasVita]

Awesome, congrats! I wanted a scorpion and regretfully got a Les Baer UTC that I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be. Enjoy it, Sigs are the best.

Ya that scorpion is looking really slick. Bad news for my bank account. Man I can't imagine what I'd do if I was already married. Gotta get this all done first

So I took the grips off. Just a tiny tiny bit of oil in some spots.

[bulletblood]

Should I remove the grips and clean underneath the first time? Every time?

If not to clean, then to avoid contact with solvents?

You don't have to remove the grips to clean everytime or the first time. Usually I just pull a rag through it but that area doesn't get much dirt. You can remove the grips just for curiosity sake. Always good to know how to detail strip a 1911. Normal gun cleaning solvents shouldn't hurt the wood.

Congratulations. Welcome to the 1911 Club.

Didn't notice it until now haha thanks.. But actually it doesn't bother me so that's good

Yes she does. I'm very happy with it

Thank you

Haha no but it is a Sig!
Kimber is next.
Well actually the free Sig 1911-22 is next but the Kimber after that.

Don't tell me to do that hahaha. I bought too much factory and now I reload and bought too many components so I'm set for a long time.

Thanks warhammer I definitely waited too long! Looking forward to see what you pick up.






Well I didn't change it that's for sure. Manufacture date on the box says January 21st, 2014. That was just a few weeks ago!

Ah, so Sig did change it, I stand corrected. You would've replaced the MIM one if you had it. It really sucks.

Yeah you don't have to take off the grips every time when you clean. I'd do it every so often though when you do a complete rub down of the gun. Every so often I'll rub my whole Sig down with Ballistol.

Excellent choice, nice 1911!

[Artema]

Beautiful choice. Holsters are a bit limited for the Sig slide and rail, but very cool.

[Tactical Fred]

Nice pistola you got there Frozen guy, Congrats and safe shotting !!

Wilson Mags in Sig SSS

I have the same Sig SSS and it will not function with Wilson 47d's. I guess it doesn't like the poly follower.

Somewhat weird as all my 1911s like 47d's.

I recall reading something along the lines of not allowing the round to chamber too quickly.

Shoot her! Shoot her!!!

And shoot her some more!

Shoot her till you have black doughnuts around your nostrils!

What mags have you gone with for the Sig? What other 1911's are you talking about?

[rm1911]

Once you go 1911 you never go back

Congrats. Very nice.

Sig 1911 SSS Mags

I decided to go with 7 round Metal Forms and 8 Round Tripps. I've had no issues with those mags.

Other 1911's I have:

Springer Trophy Match
Springer TRP Full Rail
Les Baer Premier II
Les Bear Thunder Ranch
Dan Wesson PM7
Ed Brown Executive Target

These six 1911 work with every magazine I've tried. Only the Sig is magazine sensitive.

I also have a 1942 Colt 1911A1, but that thing never gets fired. It's just a piece of art now.

I'm using the 2 oem mags and 3 chip mccormicks power mags. However on the mccormicks, I replaced the followers with the tripp research hybrid followers because I've read that the star followers tend to slam forward on the last round hitting the frame. I read that this is only an issue with ally framed 1911s, but I'd rather not have anything scuff the frame if it doesn't need to. All of my mags work great for me, but I've not tried the 47Ds.
