Back story... I haven't bought a gun for over a year due to job move and money was tight. I saved up to buy Dan Wesson VBob but spending $1500 to $1700 on a pistol was hard to do when we sometimes struggle. So I compromised with the wife and bought this, then gave the extra cash to the household.
It was everything that I wanted but a bit cheaper (I'll still keep the VBob on my wish list) Sig Sauer NightMare Carry

Nice looking pistol!
I have not bought a firearm for myself in over 20 years, but then I do not need to .... I guess. |

The grip safety on those just strikes me as odd. Hope it treats you well.

My son has the same one we bought him for combo Christmas/birthday present when he was home on leave around Thanksgiving.
It's so awesome, we went back and i bought one for myself, an Ultra Nitron. |

I'm saving for an STI, and have the same thoughts (we don't really struggle though). This will be my most expensive firearm. Even my SBR isn't as expensive (if you ignore optics). I've considered buying an RIA Tactical instead and using the leftover $ for more optics or a Traegar smoker. |

Guns are cool and all but not worth struggling for. Provided you already have a suitable CCW and HD gun. Take care of the necessities before toys. |

I'll have to go the the local GS and finger bang one to check the feel. I do like the mix of finishes.

Sig 1911s are very nice, my Son had one before he went back to the dark side and now
only carries 9mm Glocks. To be honest I carry a G19 or a G34 myself. But today I will clean my soul by shooting my 1911

Nice.
I used to have a SIG 1911 that was nothing but reliable. My only complaint - the thumb safety lever was a bit skimpy for my large hands, but that's minor. |

Any issues with yours, or has SIG worked out all the issues with their 1911s? I am really interested in picking up the SIG 1911 Extreme.

BF, have you tried it in regular 1911 holsters? I know that some Sig's fit, and some don't, but can't recall which.
I really do need a buddy to buy a bobtail, so that I can try it out. It just feels odd to me, but I'm told that they fit and shoot in the hand nicely.

But, personally, I'd rather not have it narrow down on the beaver tail, like that. The more surface area there, the better, imho. Still, though. That looks like a nice pistol and Sig tends to make quality stuff. I'd like to try one out. |

Great choice!
Was looking at that model and the RCS Sport. Ended up with the RCS Sport becasue it felt a little lighter. It's been my EDC. The only problem has been with the SIG mags with failure to eject and/or feed. With Wilson mags, no problem. Enjoy

Since you apparently can't tell the difference between front strap checkering and a "wrap around rubber grip", does that mean you're new to 1911s? It is so nice of you to bestow upon us your uninformed opinion. Nice pistol, OP. |
