SIG Intros 1911X Pistols

He’s on a subscription model, right?

For the most part. Patreon.

He still throws like one video a month up on YouTube for marketing purposes.

On another note, I got to handle one of these pistols, a tan model without an optic.

I would say it’s a nice $1k-$1100 pistol, on par with something like a Springfield operator. As a package deal with a factory installed optic, it wouldn’t be bad for $1500.

The problem is the tan model with no optic was marked at $2k ($1999.99) this thing is not worth anywhere near that kind of money.

Yup. The base level is $5 a month, which is what I have.

Sig isn't your 1911 company. No matter how hard they try. Reading some posts here it looks like Tisas might be your best 1911 for not a lot of money. I always purchased Colts and still have a few but it looks like you can train a workforce in Turkey to build a good pistol. The Chinese did it with Norinco 1911 pistols. I've examined one and it's a good $600 pistol. Selling for a lot more on some sites. Why pay more for a 1911?

I like the color. I think it ties in well with the M17 / P320 slide profile.

Does it match your handbag?

Nobody is disputing the value of the Tisas. What's somewhat unique and different about the SIG is that it offers a rail and is cut for an optic. Tisas makes a single stack rail gun but not with an optic ready slide.

I missed that the first time around. Now I have to wonder - are both the front and rear sight “normal” 1911 height, or is the rear shorter? I don’t personally care since if I were to get one the RDO would stay on it, but I’m curious.

Looks like they put the rear sight on a raised island like a P210 so they can use typical Sig sights. Smart. Looks cool too.

That’s probably hit or miss. The Stoeger Cougar was a deep decline from the Beretta made ones.

I found the 1911X advertised at $1500. For the $400 more than an Operator you get an optics cut and external extractor. A DW with no cut costs more than the SIG. My version of 1911 math is Sub$1K and $1-2K. If you're looking at >$2K it's time to go full retard and spend a lot more than $2K.

A buddy found a Max Michel SIG, but I only saw it for about thirty seconds before he locked it away in his safe.

Looks like you can have a slide milled on a Tisas for about $120. Not sure how that affects the accuracy of that particular pistol though. The easy button is a SIG at twice the cost.

Gouging. Street for the black or poop colored iron sighted models at multiple sites is $1500, $1800 with the RDO.
