@mikestunner75 Funny you mention that, because I saw one over the weekend. It is a beautiful 1911 and I was very tempted to pick one up. Also, the S&W had a lot of detail and looked very well made.
this is a beautiful gun! congratulations on the purchase. i liked it so much i searched it and found them brand new for like 850. it is really good looking though. i'd like to have it to keep it in a glass case lol
@shu1o Its one of my favorite 1911s out there. The lines are contemporary yet it still keeps the traditional 1911 form. The machine work and craftsmanship is excellent for the price you pay. To this day, I still say it is one of the highest quality 1911s on the market.
best looking 1911 clones out there. it really breaks up the old "slab sides" look. really sharp pistol. also, the reviewer sounds like johnny knoxville.
@shootaglock LOL, it's kind of weird hearing yourself on video playback, but I can see where I sound like him at certain points of the video. I just never thought of it before.
Hello Chanderson1. I am looking at buying my first handgun and I want it to be either a 1911 or a Baretta 92FS inox... In your opinion is SIG better than COLT or KIMBER models for 1911? any info you could give would be great! :)
@SNAFU111999 Well, I only have one kimber model to compare it with this, but I have to say that the quality, fit and finish, overall tight tolerances have to go to the Sig. It was 100% reliable right out of the box. No break in period necessary with the Sigs.
@chanderson1 'Sig look' blockier slide can be a bit of an issue with really tight-boned/fitted holsters. Took a little work to get mine to draw clean from Galco NSA2. Blackhawk Serpa for open carry fits like a glove. Love my Sig. Utterly reliable & nicely accurate.
I just ordered a Sig Sauer 1911 45acp,I haven't even picked it up yet ( have a 10 day wait)..I paid $865 for mine,how much did you pay for yours? Thank you for sharing yours with us all..
@HustlaMuzik1 hi, its the canon HFS10. The model is almost two years old now and you may be able to pick one up for a great price. I paid $1200 for it when ir was the newest model. I think it still out performs most cameras out today.hope that helps and thanks for watching.
I have this 1911 with fixed sights and an accessory rail. I put a wrap around Hogue finger grip on it. I enjoy shooting this pistol more than any other I've ever shot. Not only is it very smooth and very comfortable in the hand and has a great distinctive look but it's the one gun that makes me look like a good shot! : )
@shootcentermass Love it!! Still one of my most favorite pistols of all time. Very well built and the quality is excellent. Shoots 100% since the first shot out of the box. Highly recommend it.
@buckwheat40 Recoil is extremely smooth. You can't hide the recoil of a .45acp, but you sure can make it smooth. The sig really is the smoothest shooting pistol I've shot
WOW man thank you so much for your very DETAILED video. I'm in the same situation you were in as I want a 1911 and I'm trying to decide between SIg and Colt. This video has definitely got me leaning towards Sig Sauer that is such a beautiful gun.
how do you feel about this gun compared to a kimber? And would you say Sig Sauer would be a better choice over a Kimber? I know opinions vary, but since it appears you own both, I am curious as to what you think. Nice video also
@chanderson1 Thanks you for the response. Have you noticed any differences with regard to accuracy and reliiabilty between the sig and the kimber you curently own? I ask because I am in the market for a 1911. I am leaning towards a kimber pro TLE RL II, but I would not discount buying a sig, as I have a friend with a p220 match, and its very nice.
@MicrosoulV3 I would highly suggest you find a store and get your hands on a Sig 1911 before your purchase. Once you feel how solidly built it is and take a look at the machining, it really will shine over the Kimber. Not saying that the Kimbers are not great 1911s, but I've not had issues with the Sig since day one. Cant really say that about some Kimbers.
I took a good hard look at the Sig and ended up walking out with the S&W 1911. I was just not happy with how much isn't compatible with the real 1911's on the market. Plus there is a large price differential between the Sig and the S&W. None the less, great weapon
Wow, Huge difference in my gsr. I have a first production version that is a very low serial number It had to be sent back to sig because it was so tight that it would malfunction. I have steel Diamond black grips that keep it in your hand even better than the stock grips
How's the barrel fit on the sigs? Any loose play in the lock up areas. Everything else on the gun looks like it is fit very well. I found an XO model at my favorite gun store and I think I can prob. get a good deal on it. I didn't get to look at it as long as I wanted but I think I might get it.....after an inspection of course! Good review!
@chanderson1 Wow! yeah I have a springer mil-spec, but wasn't too happy with the fit and finish. I've had it for a long time, but I think it's time to move up in quality!
What a beauty, do you have any problem with the extended mag release depressing when in a leather holster? I have had this problem on a 1911 I have with an extended mag release.
Thanks for the nice and detailed video. I am a 1911 fan and have a sig, springfield and colt 1911s and have to say that my sig is really tight. Although, I do love my other 1911s as well. The only thing I don't like on the sig is the external extractor - just an aesthetic thing with me. Never had a hickup after at least 800 rounds through it! Thanks again. BTW, I am so impressed with your vids so I just subscribed!
@Mooselola Hey, thanks for the kind words. I really like this Sig and it is one of my favorite pistols of all time. I've never had any issues with this pistol and the round count is approximately at 1300. I know what your saying about the external extractor and some people dont like the looks of it on a 1911, but it works like it should and I have no complaints. Thanks again for the comment.
very nice pistol,guess i missed this one,i have a gsr revolution carry, commander size made in 06,absolutely no mim internal all machined,even slide stop, mag release, saftey,check under the slide near where the pin is for the extractor, mine has the serial number there to. take care
@phishst1cks I was actually looking for a revolution, but they were out of stock at my local shop so I picked up this one. Very nice 1911 in my opinion and one of the best quality ones out there. Worth every penny.
@buildsol Good luck with yours. I have to agree that Sig 1911s have the one of the finest fit and finish I've seen in a production pistol. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
NICE! Thanks for doing the video. I didn't know that Sig Sauer made a 1911. I'm impressed, and no MIM parts either. It's awesome how Sig blended the features of their P226 into the 1911 design.
@shurguardlock They way sig added their touch to the 1911 was slight, but you can definetly tell this is a sig. I think its very well done in design and you can't beat the reliability of sig. Its a very nice gun and yes, there is no MIM parts that I found when I disassembled the entire gun. All the internals were very well machined also. Very slight machine marks, but the majority of the internals were nicely machined and finished. Glad you liked it and thanks for watching.
I plan on getting myself a twin pair and modeling them after Ebony and Ivory. Pivot-style triggers, compensators to cut down on recoil, the whole schbang.
hi chanderson I've an offer for a GSR 1911, too. what about precision? are you happy with your shooting results, too? thank you for the nice, interesting video.
@leonbandit Hi, fired only 200 rounds through it so far. After making slight adjustments to the rear sights, it is shooting extremely accurate. The shots are very consistent and the groups are tight. I'm very happy with it.
@PrecisionArmory720 Thanks! The S.A. Loaded is a great gun. I actually looked at it before buying the Sig. The S.A. loaded may be my next purchase. Thanks for watching and commenting.
nice vid man, my carry nitron got a MIM thumb safety,but it doesnt bother me at all since it does not take a lot of stress. enjoy it man it's a very accurate gun.
@chanderson1 mags that came with mine are metalform, cheap but never give me problems. im also using tripp cobramags. my sig dont like the wilson, i dont know why.
@EvendimataE Both are nice guns and I have the Pro CDP, but I must say that the GSR is turning into one of my favorite 1911s. Its difficult, but I think the GSR really beats my Kimber in fit and finish and build quality. Also machined internals is what I expect for a gun this price, not MIM parts like some found in my Kimber.
I have a M&P 9mm...but I love the sigs and was going to sell it and buy a 226 and a 1911..but this video just sold me big time ..Im searching the shops for one right now..keep my M&P and pick up this sexy gun !! Thanks for the vid !!
@trumpetdood It shot high about a 1/4" from point of aim. The day I took it to the range, I forgot to bring my tool kit and didnt have any way to adjust it . I 'm hoping to get it back out next week and dial it in.
@chanderson1 Good deal. The target sights on my Taurus PT99 can be adjusted with just a pocket knife (Rule 9: Always carry a knife) but those look a lot more durable. Keep us all updated man, it's definitely a sexy gun.
I love the profile on it, makes it look more modernized it also reduces the need for a lowered and flared ejection port as the slide is not fully rounded. BTW could not really tell, is the top of the slide flat???
you said the mags are from sig? back when i got both of mine they where made by chip mc but came with the gun. did you mean they are actually sig manufactured now or that they came with the gun?
nice :) Sig 1911s are awesome!!! i own 2 :) a revolution TTT and a Commander railed nitro :) amazing quality and both shooters :) congrats on a new gun and great vid!
nice looken gun i want 1 to carry i wouldnt own a carry gun that dosent have sights u can move to where as a shooter shot thats how all guns should look clean an that they will work sure dosent look like a hi point to me lol
@DAN46404 Hi and thanks! MIM (metal injection molding) are usually found in some 1911s. Some people think that they are inferior parts. Most people switch out the MIM parts for "bullet proof" machined and forged parts. Most MIM parts are used in internal components that do not experience alot of wear throughout the life of the gun. You cannot tell if a 1911 has MIM parts unless you disassemble the internal workings of a gun or do a bunch of research. Hope that helps you out.
Another great video bro. beautiful gun. i ended up getting rid of my kimber cdp and now i miss it. i'm thinking of either getting another one or getting one of these, i hope you get around to doing a comparison vid between the two
@matt4023 I'll try to get out to the range this weekend. Hopefully I can present a positive range report. From my first impressions of the fit and finish, I do think it will be a keeper. Always appreciate your comments and thanks for watching.
those GSR 1911s are awesome! I almost got one once but instead decided on an AR. I was extremely impressed with the fit and finish. they are the best kept secret in the 1911 world
Damn, that's a really nice handgun. My brother bought a Sig P229 for about $800 so they are a little pricey but I think the more you pay for one, the better quality it's going to be
@DerMeister47 Sigs GSR line is one of the best I've seen. For a company to venture into the 1911 market is somewhat risky, but Sig did their homework.
have you checked out the s&w e series 1911?

hi chanderson I've an offer for a GSR 1911, too. what about precision? are you happy with your shooting results, too? thank you for the nice, interesting video.
leonbandit 1 year ago
@leonbandit Hi, fired only 200 rounds through it so far. After making slight adjustments to the rear sights, it is shooting extremely accurate. The shots are very consistent and the groups are tight. I'm very happy with it.

@PrecisionArmory720 Thanks! The S.A. Loaded is a great gun. I actually looked at it before buying the Sig. The S.A. loaded may be my next purchase. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@felisangora Hi, thank you! I really like it and it has been one of my favorite 1911s Ive ever owned.

@chanderson1 by the way what brand of mags youre using?
felisangora 1 year ago
@felisangora Wilson Combat 47Ds. I really like them. Although I think the stock mags that came with the gun are Chip McCormick's which are also nice.
chanderson1 1 year ago
@chanderson1 mags that came with mine are metalform, cheap but never give me problems. im also using tripp cobramags. my sig dont like the wilson, i dont know why.

which is better sig or kimber?
EvendimataE 1 year ago
@EvendimataE Both are nice guns and I have the Pro CDP, but I must say that the GSR is turning into one of my favorite 1911s. Its difficult, but I think the GSR really beats my Kimber in fit and finish and build quality. Also machined internals is what I expect for a gun this price, not MIM parts like some found in my Kimber.

@ninemilmoe you maybe want to also take a look at the Sig revolution if you prefer fixed combat sights.

Wow. It's like a Sig had sex with a Colt and made one sexy, sexy baby. I may have to check into that.

@trumpetdood Its a very nice and reliable 1911. I really like the style.
chanderson1 1 year ago
@chanderson1 Did you ever get around to shooting it?
trumpetdood 1 year ago
@trumpetdood Yes, but only 200 rounds through it so far. No jams or failures of any type and was one of the smoothest 1911s I've ever shot
chanderson1 1 year ago
@chanderson1 How's the out-of-the-box accuracy?
trumpetdood 1 year ago
@trumpetdood It shot high about a 1/4" from point of aim. The day I took it to the range, I forgot to bring my tool kit and didnt have any way to adjust it . I 'm hoping to get it back out next week and dial it in.
chanderson1 1 year ago
@chanderson1 Good deal. The target sights on my Taurus PT99 can be adjusted with just a pocket knife (Rule 9: Always carry a knife) but those look a lot more durable. Keep us all updated man, it's definitely a sexy gun.

great video man, im carrying an M&P 9mm now but the quality of a sig just seems unbeatable.
evo595 1 year ago
I love the profile on it, makes it look more modernized it also reduces the need for a lowered and flared ejection port as the slide is not fully rounded. BTW could not really tell, is the top of the slide flat???
EMAN300 1 year ago
@EMAN300 Its not flat, but the edges are not rolled as much as a traditional 1911.

you said the mags are from sig? back when i got both of mine they where made by chip mc but came with the gun. did you mean they are actually sig manufactured now or that they came with the gun?
benbangui 1 year ago
@benbangui They came with the gun. I've got several CM mags and they are not the same...no markings on them so I assume they're from sig.

i LOVE my 1911's
I prefer the new'er style ones with the better sight skeletonised hammer etc so sigs little touch to the slide is pretty cool imo.
great vid dude!

@DAN46404 Hi and thanks! MIM (metal injection molding) are usually found in some 1911s. Some people think that they are inferior parts. Most people switch out the MIM parts for "bullet proof" machined and forged parts. Most MIM parts are used in internal components that do not experience alot of wear throughout the life of the gun. You cannot tell if a 1911 has MIM parts unless you disassemble the internal workings of a gun or do a bunch of research. Hope that helps you out.

Very nice 1911 im thinking of getting one it reminds me of my sig p238 please do not change the wood grips pleeeeaase.

@matt4023 I'll try to get out to the range this weekend. Hopefully I can present a positive range report. From my first impressions of the fit and finish, I do think it will be a keeper. Always appreciate your comments and thanks for watching.

those GSR 1911s are awesome! I almost got one once but instead decided on an AR. I was extremely impressed with the fit and finish. they are the best kept secret in the 1911 world

@nicker3290 The fit and finish is what caught my eye. Sig Sauers craftsmen have done a really excellent job on this pistol.
chanderson1 1 year ago
Damn, that's a really nice handgun. My brother bought a Sig P229 for about $800 so they are a little pricey but I think the more you pay for one, the better quality it's going to be
DerMeister47 1 year ago
@DerMeister47 Sigs GSR line is one of the best I've seen. For a company to venture into the 1911 market is somewhat risky, but Sig did their homework.
