    I assume the new Sig line will contain cast and MIM parts, just like Sig's other 1911 models. That means most of the small parts. But we'll have to wait for a good review to find out.

    If the new Sig compares to a TRP then that's going to be a good price. I really no longer consider $1.5K to be a lot of money for a quality all-steel gun.

    But whether that gun is worth the cost...

    My Wilsons, including my carry gun, all have triggers right around 3.75# and I don't think I would want them to be any lighter than that. Actually a 4# trigger is pretty reasonable. A 3# trigger...

    The 1911 is my favorite pistol type and it's what I use, but I don't think we need a forum section devoted to it. The diversity of pistol choice amongst the members is one of PF's strengths.

    Back when I was heavy into Colts I learned how to adjust thumb and grip safeties out of necessity. But I did so knowing what NOT to do - which boils down to not removing too much material.

    Nice pistol!

    Pretty much all the Springfield Armory guns I've owned have gotten a Heinie Ledge rear and Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight installed. A .325 rear pairs nicely with a .160...
