Default Got another Sig...

Went looking for the Para Warthog, saw several 3" CCOs and a Para LDS, but no Warthogs.

I ran across two CCOs that I liked. One was an ATI and the other a Sig. The ATI was a solid gun, nothing fancy, good and tight, good trigger, etc. and I probably WOULD have gotten it had I not spied this:



It was love at first sight. $400 more than the ATI, but OOOOHHHH so sexy!

(this is my first "Sexy" 1911)

Hey, when are we going to have a Sig forum???????

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

I've had better success with external extractors than with internal. Well, except for my Mimber 22 conversion slide...

My DW Panther has an external extractor, and it just works. I know there is nothing I can do to tune it, but so far there is just no need. I've used it in IDPA competition, so it's been *thoroughly* field tested.

I hear the Sig extractors just work too.

Nice heater!

We need a range report now, with pictures.

Unless that extractor fails. Then you should find another forum to join.



Grouse will take care of all he details for ya

Just kidding (really!)...

Dirty gun pictures always welcome, though!

And just like with my last Sig, I can't find it on the website, so I don't know what model it is. This one is not in the 2013 Catalog PDF, which is where I found the Fastback.

Close to an Ultra Two Tone, but with black plunger tube, G10 Piranha Green G-Mascus grips and a magwell. Can't really see any other differences. Same night sights as the Ultra Two Tone.

Do you have the box it came in? The exact model number should be on there, something like 1911U-45-XXX

Yeah I found it. In fine print beneath the 1911U-45-NBS13 that I can barely read:

"1911, 45, ULTRA COMPACT, NITRON, SLITE, G-10 BLKGF"

So I guess the official model name is "Ultra Compact."



The first Sig, which I first thought was a "Nightmare", and now presume to be a "Fastback" says:

"1911FCA-45-BSS"
"1911F, 45, CARRY, NITRON, SLITE, SAO"

So does the "F" stand for "Fastback"???

Hard to keep track of their markings. The two tone Ultra is: 1911U-45-TSS
The nitron Ultra is: 1911U-45-BSS
Both have siglite sights (tritium night sights)

My next Sig will be either the 1911FCA-45-NMR or 1911CO-45-TSS-RCS
