I purchased a Sig 1911 in nickel PVD finish this week. Picked her up from the FFL and absolutely love it. She's my first 1911. I have shot it yet but from reviews I expect her to be a blast. The mags that the firearm comes it's leave a lot to be desired with their cheap plastic floor plates but the firearms for and finish is top notch. I will post pics when I get home tomorrow from the firehouse. I'm psyched. Now to get to the range.

I will say sig sends these things out soaking wet with oil. Stripped her down totally and greased her up. The action smoothed out considerably more.

Congrats...looks really nice!

Thanks guys, so loaded up a mag and while removing it to do some dry firing the base pad literally broke off in my hand.

I knew they were crap but c'mon they've never been used or dropped. Both are actually broken upon further inspection. Sig you make a quality firearm but these mags are a ******* joke.

Sigs make an awesome 1911.. (other than its a series 80) I had a scorpion 1911 till I traded it for a ruger sr1911. the only thing I had problems with was the light recoil spring. I installed a heavier spring and never had any problems again. my buddy had the same problem with his stx 1911. same scenario.. he put a heavier recoil spring in his and it ran beautifully.
If your gonna go Wilson Combat.. might i suggest the ETM mag. I have a few of them and I love em.

Wow, that's a good looking gun. Congrats on the Sig 1911, I've owned a couple and they're great guns.

 

[DevJames]

Good looking gun.

And for the life of me I can't figure out what's so hard about making a good 1911 magazine for 20 bucks though...

 

[Bike Medic]

It's not hard, however when you can make a quality one and get 40 bucks for it wouldn't you?

I guess. Maybe magpul needs to start making them...

You can.. I buy the Springfield 7 round mags for about $15 a piece and they have ran just fine but to put them up against my wilson ETM mags you can see the difference in quality. Also its like buying anything with a name good name behind it.. your paying $$ for the name.

 

[DevJames]

Seems that way a lot of times. I need toget some more CMC's. Probably the best bang for buck 8 rounders I can think of.

Congrats, good looking 1911. I wonder if Sig has changed mag manufacturers, I've a couple of their guns and the mags have worked as designed. I'd give Sig a call and see if they will send replacements.

I set an email however I am going to give them a shout tomorrow. I'll post back with my results.
