Thanks very much for the comments. More are welcome.
This is what I was hoping to hear and actually corroborates what I've seen in the reviews. I don't have a lot of cash, so I'm going to my LGS with a HK P7M8 looking for a trade. I actually have two P7M8's. The one I will bring for a trade is a police trade-in with the police mark milled off. It's got many rounds through it but is in really good shape. A little holster wear, but I've got the original box, the gas tube tool, cleaning brush, owners manual, and two original HK magazines. I also have a much nicer P7M8 with all the right markings in pristine though fired condition, which I would like to keep forever. The LGS wants about $950 for the Sig, but I'll get a pretty decent military discount. It will still be more expensive than Bud's, where it's $850 shipped, but by the time you get through with transfer fees from the LGS, it's probably pretty close. I like giving my LGS my business. It's a small shop and a bunch of good guys. I'm hoping I can get at least an even trade. I'll report back next week after I've had a chance to talk to and negotiate with them.

I have an original version SIG GSR 1911. Govt. model, with rail. It was the first 1911 I bought.
Weight: Heavy. fit and finish: Superb. Accuracy: Superb. Look like a classic 1911: duh... its got an external extractor. Hey, what did I know... it was my first! There were no mim parts in mine (but it IS an older model) Below is what is looked like coming back from the factory for a trigger job and new sights. Factory threw in new grips, and a couple of magazines too.  Accuracy: As I said... superb. Or is it just that I'm THAT good? (Go ahead  ... post the BS smiley!!) Da

Hmmm... and they still have external extractors.
Seems like there's a fair amount of back and forth about them. Never came across one that I can remember. Is there something I should be very concerned about? Sounds like you were happy with the weapon. Thanks for the feedback. Oh, and by the way...
