SIG Sauer 1911?

[TheDude]

Anybody got any input/comments on these? The TACPAC or Nitron model?

I'll say one thing about Sig's Nitron coating....it sucks. It doesn't hold up very well, and after it's been fired while still warm, it doesn't take but a fingernail to leave a mark.

Other than that, I think Sig's make EXCELLENT, quality firearms. Rugged and stable.

Its an "ok" 1911.

Holsters are hard to find. This is a major, major issue.

The external extractor is good but not great. <S&W E series is better for instance.>

It would not be on my list of guns to consider, unless I had no plans to carry it ... anywhere. Holsters are THAT unavailable.

That is all I can contribute.

Ive read good things about accuracy and function in later models. The TACPAC comes with a holster and accs.

I have their TAPAC setup. I don't know about the finish., I haven't carried it but I will say it does shoot real nice and very accurate. It has been 100% reliable I give it
The price was right I am glad I bought it

. I don't know about the finish..

I can tell you right now it's sub-par. My P226 was marked up from a soft NYLON brush...geez-o-pete

I don't know about those models, but I have a C3 that I LOVE.

If you do go with Sig's lineup of 1911's, just make sure to get a Stainless model.

I have a C3 as well...carry it with no prob, no finish wear as of yet! Holsters are not an issue from my experience. Mine fits in at least 4 standard 1911 holsters I have, both leather and kydex...

I had a Carry model in the Nitron finish. I never had any issues besides the rear sight being loose but that was taken care of with a little blue locktite. Shot great and for the features vs $ they are hard to beat.

I love my Sig 1911 and carry it often. I have never had a problem with malfunctions or the finish. As far as holsters, there are more now but can still be hard to find. I solved that by learning to make my own out of kydex. Over 2000 rds and still looks and run good.

They look pretty nice to me, and the 1 time I held one down at Keislers it felt really good.

I picked up 3 different brand new ones at a gunshow. Their triggers were completely different from each other. It seems like their triggers aren't consistent.

Had a sig platiuim elite custom shop stainless with aluminum grips was very smooth shooting gun and stainless was hard to sratch

agreed sig 1911's are very nice weapon systems and i have fired some high end brands such as kimber and wilson combat and springfeids and i honestly though the sig was the best bang for the buck and you can beat the quality and reliability of a sig sauer.

I picked up a Tact-Threaded last week and the standard Blackhawk for Colt 1911's fits it very well.....I guess I am a little confused about your statement.

I can't believe the lack of love about the sig 1911. I bought one when they first came out and it was my steady off duty Cary for a long time, until I switched to a smaller pistol. The finish has held up great considering all the use and carrying. It also functions perfect and is very accurate. It fit in any other 1911 holster that I had. I am pleased with mine.
