Sig Sauer 1911?

[LagunaH1]

Hi everyone,

Do any of you have any experience (good, bad, indifferent) with Sig Sauer’s 1911s?

 

[LagunaH1]

Aaaand this is what happens when I post before reading LOL!!!

 

[3Hummers]

I have two. You have a question?

 

[LagunaH1]

I see that I asked the very same thing a few months ago LOL.


I’m thinking about getting one as an additional daily carry. What kind of sights do your 2 have?

 

[LagunaH1]

Bought one today. -Now for the $#@##$!@ 10 day waiting period. IT seemed like a *really* well made firearm. Can’t wait to take it to the range and see what it’ll do

 

[3Hummers]

Mine have night sites and the laser in the hand grips.

Went to pick up the new gun today, it sure does seem like it’s very well made. Hope to be able to take it to the range and enjoy it this coming weekend

 

[3Hummers]

You will love it. Balanced. tight tolerances and a tack driver out of the box.

So how do you like it after your trip to the range? 45 is a very easy round to reload also.

Wow, I can't believe it's been THIS long since I got my Sig 1911, but anyways:

When I got the gun, she sights were off. On top of that, the set screw for the rear sight was either damaged or some VERY unusual size. I bought many many different allen key sets and nothing worked. Finally, I took the gun back to the store and their gun smith adjusted the sights free of charge (good service!!) and the gun is now VERY accurate, as long as *I* am shooting it well. So, by now I'm very much enjoying it.

 

[3Hummers]

Wow, never had an issue with a Sig.

 

[LagunaH1]

I found that mine was a tad picky about the ammo, and needed the sights aligned. Once both of those were taken care of, it's been VERY accurate and reliable

 

[3Hummers]

Never had a Sig that wasn't a tack driver right out of the box. Have not had an ammo feed problem either. What did it not like?

 

[LagunaH1]

It didn't like PMC Bronze 185 gr JHP

 

[3Hummers]

Interesting. I usually shoot the 230 grain bullets.

 

[LagunaH1]

Do you shoot hollow points, JHP or ball or something else?

 

[3Hummers]

Ball in the 45s. I don't carry a 1911 so I don't shoot/practice with defense ammo in them.
