Why does it seem like so many people are posting their Sig 1911's for sale lately? I even saw one that was looking to trade for a Smith 1911. Whats up with these guns?

SIG 1911's for sale?
- Thread starter fbirdquik6
- Start date
I saw an ad , With purchase of 1911 .45 you'll receive a 1911 .22 with it.
Here's a letter that dares not let Sig off the hook. It's all here: the compromises, the backstabbing, the attempts to leave us in the lurch. For starters, I have never been in favor of being gratuitously infantile. I have also never been in favor of sticking my head in the sand or of refusing to hold out the prospect of societal peace, prosperity, and a return to sane values and certainties. I recently checked out one of Sig's recent tracts. Oh, look; it's again saying that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. Raise your hand if you're surprised. Seriously, though, the real question here is not, "What exactly is Sig's point?". The real question is rather, "Why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that Sig is a faithful student of Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese strategist who advocated demoralizing one's enemy as the highest art of warfare?" We must undeniably ask ourselves questions like that before it's too late, before Sig gets the opportunity to compromise the free and open nature of public discourse.
Come to think of it, where did Sig learn how to resort to ad hominem attacks on me and my family? At the intersection of Pauperism Avenue and Voyeurism Lane? My point is that Sig's reaction to our latest crisis diligently fulfils the first law of reactive politics. That is to say, do something, no matter how ill-bred. Issue orders. Look busy. Forget about how several things Sig has said have brought me to the boiling point. The statement of its that made the strongest impression on me, however, was something to the effect of how no one is smart enough to see through its transparent lies.
If Sig can't cite the basis for its claim that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles then it should just shut up about it. Sig cannot tolerate the world as it is. It needs to live in a world of fantasies. To be more specific, when Sig lies, it's consistent with its character, for it's a liar and a source of lies. Another reason that many people consider it consistent is that some people have indicated that Sig treats serious issues callously and somewhat flippantly. I can neither confirm nor deny that statement, but I can say that Sig's mingy, scabrous pronouncements manipulate the unseen mechanisms of society so as to silence critical debate and squelch creative brainstorming. News of this deviousness must spread like wildfire if we are ever to create a world in which prætorianism, antagonism, and stoicism are all but forgotten. Sig uses a variety of unstable arguments to justify rampant credentialism, brutal repression, and unmitigated racialism. Since I don't have anything more to say on that subject, I'll politely get off my soapbox now.

What are you on bro?
That's a manifest with Sig added to it.
But yeah their 1911s are known to be hated because they are not traditional 1911 size as posted above.

I like my Sig 1911 TTT. It is NOT for sale.
It looks great. Shoots AWESOME. Never a problem with it. front and rear serrations on the grip. night sights standard. Decent trigger (although I'm sure it could be worked on to be even better).
It does have a 'squared' slide profile, but I found a guy who makes holsters to fit (www.theisholsters.com).
You'd have to ask the people actually selling theirs why they're doing it. Maybe they just need the money to pay bills (?).

In reference to "Steyr_AUG" Wow!!
Someone really needs a hug! I have several Sigs and really like my 226. Haven't had the opportunity to buy 1911 from Sig as yet but have seen them and drooled while looking at them.

I have no idea. Some guy let me fire his Sig 1911 at the range and the thing super easy to shoot. It was the first time I'd ever fired a Sig 1911. We were on the plinking range and firing at metal stamp outs as targets and a I was knocking them down one after another. We had no paper targets so I don't know about groups. I'm not a 1911 purist and I'd already own one if I hadn't run out of money...

I think everyone gets the MA compliant ones until they can get a FTF purchase for the ones that aren't. I love my scorpion. As far as holsters go, there are so many people and companies doing custom kydex holsters you can get one of those easily. Finding the leather ones off the shelf is tricky but you can get a lot of custom sig leather ones now too. Most of the retention is from the trigger guard which is still the same. I have a Galco Triton TR212 that holds a government model with a rail, which encompasses colts, sigs, springfields, etc.
Then I went with a Griffon Industries custom kydex with an inforce apl mold. It only works with the light attached. Trickier to conceal most of the time but I really like it.
