This 45acp 1911 RCS comes from Sig Sauer custom shop where they put it through the anti-snag treatment. It has low profile night sights, slim rosewood grips and nitron finish. The specifications are match grade 4.2 inch barrel, hammer/sear set and trigger. Single action only trigger pull is 5 lbs. The height is 4.8 inches, so you have a seven round mag, width is 1.4 inches, so this is built for concealed carry. The checking on the front strap and main spring housing is great. The slide and frame are hand fitted to insure reliability and performance which I think is excellent.
Now its off to the range. I took along 110 rounds of 45 ammo, a mix of five brands. This is a good way to clean up those boxes with just a few rounds left. My idea was just to break in this Sig 1911 and check reliability. After 50 rounds, I gave the 1911 a quick cleaning. After all the rounds were fired, this Sig performed without any malfunctions. Now its home to give this Sig a complete cleaning and lube. Next week I will shoot for accuracy.
A week has past and the weather is bad, so I'm at an indoor range close to home. Its Debs Gun Range, and you can shoot 25 and 50 feet. Deb the owner and her husband Dennis are great people. Along with my Sig 1911 I had two boxes of ammo, Fiocchi Extrema 200 gr XTP JHP and Fiocchi Dynamics 230 gr FMJ. All ammo shot high and left. The Fiocchi 200 gr shot nice groups at 25 and 50 feet, but not to point of aim. This is the only 1911 I own with fixed sights. Everything about this Sig 1911 is A-1 with one exception, fixed sights. If it had adjustable sights it would be a real track driver.
Always shoot safe and know whats behind your target.
