If I was getting into 1911s with a fresh start today, I think it would be very hard to go with something other than this in the production range of options, especially at $1500. And I hate saying that about a SIG.
The optic cut makes perfect sense. On a 1911, I’d argue that the two best options right now are either going with the K/RMSc footprint for concealment or doing a direct mount ACRO or 509 for open carry or duty uses.
It’s a solid feature set that I’d only see myself making a couple tweaks to. Assuming it works, it may be “the answer” for an optic capable 1911 that’s meaningfully under two grand.
All of which means that, like others, I’m wondering when and how SIG is going to ruin a good thing.
