Rock Island Armory .45 ACP GI version vs. Tactical

I may have to start watching those auctions.

Here's the auction site and seller I picked mine up from. Took me a few weeks to find one that closed cheap, but I picked mine up for $640, NIB.
It is much more accurate than my RIA GI model, but most of that is due to the better sights and match barrel on the Sig. The sig does require me to size cast bullets to .452, due to the match chamber, while the RIA will shoot as-cast, for the most part.

Why are these priced so low for being a Sig Sauer? The 1911 Sigs cost $900+ What's the story on these?

It did make me wonder what dealer pricing is one them.

cheap sig 1911's?

I suspect...and this is just a suspicion based off of the one gun that I received, is that these MIGHT be factory blemishes. The gun I received had about 6-8 TINY blemishes in the nitron finish. It looks like maybe a few dust particles were on the gun when it was finished and prevented the nitron from adhering to the frame....but I only noticed them a few weeks after I picked it up, and then only because I was making a very anal inspection in bright light. Since its a SS gun, and the spots were so small as to be barely visible with the naked eye, who knows, and frankly, i don't really care about a few tiny cosmetic finish issues on a shooter.
