They had some trouble with the first ones, but SIG never really got behind it too much.<br /><br />Max Michel is SIG's main pro shooter. His open guns are both 1911 GSR's, and his limited guns are both X5's, according to maxmichel.comHajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355187023863916108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32246132.post-81023665541909140292010-10-18T15:15:18.690-07:002010-10-18T15:15:18.690-07:00Mine seems as solid as a brick out-house, just no ...Mine seems as solid as a brick out-house, just no light rail. The long trigger reset point is easier for me to catch than the short one on the very short 1911A1 trigger.<br />I've wondered about the Ginsu-knife variety of Sigs emerging and the somewhat tacky direction marketing has taken, I almost expect someone to yell at me from their advertising - also how come the only Mastershop Series pistols are 9mm's? Was their 1911 a flub?NotClauswitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358707844087117280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32246132.post-50731257216001784392010-10-15T17:24:38.319-07:002010-10-15T17:24:38.319-07:00What I've been hearing about recent SIG's-...What I've been hearing about recent SIG's-definitely NOT your '89 vintage gun-is that they're not very well made. The management team that damaged Kimber has been hired at SIG, and they're apparently cutting corners in manufacturing while offering a really huge number of finish and feature variants. One of our reps works for a large duty gear supplier who told me they were on their 9th mold to make SIGs fit properly. What that means is that the outside dimensions of the pistols vary more than the holster made to fit it. <br /><br />Those old SIGs are good guns. Not my preferred gun, but quality firearms. The new ones are guns I'd stay away from. Don't let that gun go unless you get a premium for it!Hajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355187023863916108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32246132.post-84108477960923536092010-10-15T16:53:57.453-07:002010-10-15T16:53:57.453-07:00Sorry it's been a while!

After GBR-IV I went and bought six more magazines for it, talk about committment!<br />The '43 Colt is Museum-worthy anyhow and shouldn't be messed-with.NotClauswitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358707844087117280noreply@blogger.com
