What do you know/not know about the M11A1? And, what's the purpose? And, why this model and not some others? It would help to know where you're coming from. Q | |||

I shot one this weekend rails my range. The gun feels great and it is designed to be nice and smooth without a rail. I like rails on guns but the M11-A1 works fine without one. According to SIG website it weighs 4 ounces less than the 229 which is helpful. It is still a heavy gun but that makes it easier to shoot with less recoil and it is accurate. Please note SIG's website is not always accurate on weight. I bought it 226 which I still own the MK25 and shortly thereafter purchased a 229 which I then returned in 2 weeks. It felt too similar to its larger brother. A number of people have reported on different websites that the M11-A1 feels and looks different enough from his larger brother to justify a separate purchase. Obviously, if you can find arranged to rent them it would be very helpful. The slide on the M11-A1 is smaller than the 229 and it is only designed for 9mm versus the 229 being designed for 9 mm, 357 SIG, and 40 caliber. You will not be disappointed with either pistol and remember they both hold 15 rounds and will take magazines from a 226. Good luck with your decision and please let us know what you end up purchasing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democracy is 2 Wolves & a Lamb debating the lunch menu.

Ignored facts still exist |
My main gripe about it is that I can't use my large collection of p228 mags in it. Also not sure if 226 mags with the adapter thing would work in it. . | |||

I use my P228 mags in it. Never a problem. There are some who do have issues, but most do not. Q | |||

It's an excellent pistol. Very soft shooting and accurate. I purchased mine when they first came out back in 2013 or so. "Like a horse has its rider, and the sky has its moon, a man has his loneliness, mistaken as pride." -Longmire | |||

Well I pulled the trigger figuratively speaking and bought the M11-A1. Gander Mountain is going out of business and has 10% off on their guns. I'll shoot it this weekend and report back. I have several Sigs but none have the SRT upgrades. I'm curious to see how it compares to my P228. Skins2881: I almost took your advice, but I know my credit card would be declined. I'll post some pics as "eye candy" later in the week. thanks for the info guys! | |||
