Anyone got one of these?  Just ordered one. I have a bunch of SIGs but this will be my first 1911. With July 4th coming up I felt it was my patriotic duty  | ||

Faded jeans look, eh? I could stand that, but the grips are kind of cheesy, though. Q | |||

It's cool. If I want my gun to looked "distressed" I will shoot it, a lot! Not into the artificial look. For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm | |||

Well if nothing else you won't be stressing out over its first scratch. | |||

Lol. Yeah, i guess i kinda like the finish. One less thing to worry about and its a great gunmetal color. Are usually buy guns to use as carry weapons or they say it in a safe. This one I completely plan to take out and not worry about how it looks so it IS one thing less to worry about! | |||

I own a few Sig 1911's & appreciate the small size of the levers especially the safety. They don't snag & are easily flickable. ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

I played with one at the NRA show and I found it to be comepletley cheeseball. I think the billboard and cheesey MIM hammer ruin it. I think if you want to convey this type of message on a 1911 it should be a traditional looking 1911 not a Sig 1911-ish pistol. Just my opinion.  _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Trigger has the cheese thing going on, too. Military hammer, short trigger, and some walnut..... it would be OK. | |||

Congrats on the purchase. Hope you enjoy it. I happen to like the way it looks and am looking forward to seeing one next time I head over to the Pro Shop.

Cool, but I'd like it even better in straight GI garb. I find the distressed look combined with the modern sights and controls to be somewhat of a contradiction. Short of that, enjoy your new .45! | |||

Facts are stubborn things |
Did you notice that there are 25 stars on each grip? nice touch Sig. Do, Or do not. There is no try. | |||
|

Should have made it 13 stars is what I thought. Q | |||
|

Man, hopefully the guns that actually made it out to the market don't have that slanted "WE THE PEOPLE".  Q | |||
|

I picked up on that almost immediately. Distressed in more ways than mere finish, it seems. | |||

Remember, in 1776 they did it by hand, as they didn't have CNC machines.  | |||
|

And, they somehow knew we were going to have 50 states.  Q | |||

Oh c'mon guys, ease up on him. It's a BBQ gun, not a "life and liberty" piece. Not everyone wants to start out with a series 70 Colt. "Like a horse has its rider, and the sky has its moon, a man has his loneliness, mistaken as pride." -Longmire | |||
