SIG 1911 C3
I just picked up a Sig C3, man what a gun. It feels great, it looks great, tight fittings, very nice grips.
This is the 1911 version with the officer frame and the commander slide. I have been looking for one for a while. I had a colt in the past but I sold it a few years ago and I just got the bug again, however I could not find any.
Then I walked into a local shop and there she was, sitting real pretty in the case. I just had to have it. So last wednesday I ordered one and got it today.
I was all set to build one myself out of parts, but I dont think it would have been as nice as this sig is.
Definately going to the range tomorrow and put a few hundred rounds throught it.
I think it looks better then the kimber I have and it cost almost $ 400 less.
Now I got to find a nice holster for it and some extra mags.
What do you guys think of it??E FLUCTIBUS IRRUIT IN HOSTEM. AECIDAE TELO IACET LIBATIS.

Personally I love it. It really looks great! If you don't mind my asking, what was the total cost?

Re: SIG 1911 C3
She sure is beautiful....... Always been a fan of sig 1911's. I've always thought they make their own 1911 while still staying true to the original design.

Re: SIG 1911 C3
Great choice! Got one myself as my carry gun. Back when they were under 800 OTD at Tanners. They seems to have gone up in price since. I sent mine to Sig to have matching stainless magwell installed. Along with SigLite sights. Also added a set of VZ alien grips, they were the only straight cut grips that I could find versus the beveled cut the factory wood grips. I carry it in a DeSantis cozy partner IWB holster which is extremely comfortable. The gun shoots great. I've put over 500 mixed flawless round through it. It's the pistol in my collection that I won't sell.

Re: SIG 1911 C3
Sig makes an awesome 1911, their other guns don't really speak to me as I don't like DA/SA but I love the lines on their 1911's. Mine has run flawlessly and has an immaculate fit and finish.

Re: SIG 1911 C3
I think you'll like the C3. It's a great size for a carry 1911. I bought a C3 with the Crimson Trace laser grips a few weeks ago. Mine came with the night sights & speed chute. I decided I'm not in love with the laser, though, so I ordered a set of VZ Simonich grips. They should be here any day now.
I only have 300 rounds thru it so far, but mine has functioned flawlessly with the factory mags using my 230gr FMJ & HP reloads. It doesn't seem to like my Wilson 47D mags though.

Re: SIG 1911 C3
Thank you guys.
I am looking now to accessorize the gun for carry purpose. Any reccomendations as to where I can find good mags, holster?
I am told that this gun does not fit the commander sized holsters, or the mags. Is that true?E FLUCTIBUS IRRUIT IN HOSTEM. AECIDAE TELO IACET LIBATIS.

Re: SIG 1911 C3
Very nice looking Gun. Looks almost like a S&W except the S&W sticks closer to classic form then the Sig slide but they are both nice looking mordern design guns. Does Sig make a Bob 1911?
