Sig 1911 TTT Range Review

[Mr.Revolverguy]

All 1911's need custom gunsmith work out of the box to work reliably. 1911′s have an ill-deserved reputation for being picky about feeding ammunition “out of the box” And so most believe in the 1911 community that the first thing one must do with a new 1911 is to send it off to a gunsmith for expensive reliability tuning. In fact with the proper ammunition, .45ACP 230gr FMJ hardball most any 1911 on the market today would be capable of high reliability and 2.5" groups at 25 yards out of the box in my humble opinion. A .45 ACP has so much knock down power it will knock an assailant clean off his feet with one shot. Though the .45ACP delivers plenty of energy to its intended target shot placement is most important. With advance technology in bullet construction even 9mm is capable of stopping a violent attacker with one well-placed shot. I grew up hearing many stories and myths like these above and there are many more myths floating around about the 1911 but one thing that's certainly undeniable is its notorious status. The 1911 are over 100 years old and continue to be a highly respected reliable and tactical weapon. In the right gunsmith hands a 1911 would be capable of .5" groups at 50 yards. Sig Sauer has been around since 1853 but is fairly young to producing 1911’s, which started around 2004 with the Sig GSR lineage. But today I am here to inspect one of Sig's most highly spit and polished 1911's the Sig Sauer 1911 TTT.

"All 1911's need custom gunsmith work out of the box to function reliably."

Well NO, Got six of em that only needed a loaded mag to be reliable, two are past 30,000 rounds without issue.

BUT, that is a really good looking 1911 and a nice report to go along with it, THANKS.

I obviously struck a nerve there huh and that was it's intent But it is also obvious you didn't continue reading as I stated further

"I grew up hearing many stories and myths like these above and there are many more myths floating around about the 1911 but one thing it certainly can't be denied of is it's legendary status."

 

[J2FLAN]

Yep, nerve damage or maybe envy
Still, I like the looks of that Sig.

 

[SwampWolf]

Thanks for the review of a very nice looking and performing SIG 1911 pistol.

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

I think it is one of the nicest looking in Sigs portfolio.

 

[JTQ]

Good looking pistol. I've always found the Sig 1911 slide profile a little odd, and you may have some trouble finding holsters, but the look is kind of growing on me as the years go by.

And so most believe in the 1911 community that the first thing one must do with a new 1911 is to send it off to a gunsmith for expensive reliability tuning.

Not really a hitting a nerve along with J2FLAN's comment, but I'd say most in the 1911 community don't believe your statement above. You may be accurate to say "most outside the 1911 community believe the first thing one must do with a new 1911 is to send it off to a gunsmith".

Admittedly, there are a lot of guys new to the platform in the last couple of years, or so, due to the 100th anniversary, but I'd think most real 1911 guys are pretty confident in their pistols.

A .45 ACP has so much knock down power it will knock an assailant clean off his feet with one shot.

Of course with this comment I think you're just making up stuff to goof with us.

Again I post as I stated in my article,

"I grew up hearing many stories and myths like these above and there are many more myths floating around about the 1911 but one thing it certainly can't be denied of is it's legendary status."

To be absolutely clear these are all myths I have heard on the range, gun shops, yes even in the military I heard some of these MYTHS.

Nice pics and choice OP!! I recently got my first sig1911, its very well fit and finished. When I took it out to shooot I was doubly impressed. Tight and accurate arent descriptive enough, but they will have to do.

 

[powder]

Nice work, nice pic.

I recently got a SIG Tac Ops Tr and love it too.

(WHere'd you get those grips boy?)

 

[BlindJustice]

ingoring the inflammatory myths.... Nice lookiing Sig TTT

I pair up my SW1911 with a S&W 625 both with Rosewood
Grips and the SS matte finish.

So MrRevolverGuy what wheel guns yah got? better have a .45

[Dudemeister]

I too recently took the 1911 plunge, and the Sig 1911 Stainless was my first choice. Fantastic gun!

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

The grips are part of the package nice huh?

Of course I believe everyone should own a S&W 625 of some sort hehehehe Or a S&W 1917

 

[AZGlock13]

I own six Sig 1911s and the TTT was my first one I bought. It is a really great 1911, but I found the stock grips, though gorgeous to look at, are a bit on the slick side (a little too smooth texture wise, IMHO), so I ended up putting a pair of Hogue checkered G10s on it (and no, the stock grips are not for sale ).
