I didn't like the Sig 1911 I shot up in Manchester. Thing was digging into my hand bigtime and very uncomfortable to shoot. It was the only 1911 I had shot at the time and I was getting nervous that I might just not like a terribly popular gun design, but I shot a Springfield Armory and Colt 1911 last weekend and liked them both a lot. I am a huge Sig fan but I would keep looking if you want a 1911.
