I've been looking closely at the SIG 1911, Black Nitron vs tacops I need it to be railed so I can use my X300 option.
First question. I've heard nothing but good things about the SIG 1911s. On the other hand, I've heard bad things about SIG lately, because of EXETER? That's just what I've been told.. How are these, despite the supposed decline? Second. What are the differences between these two models? It just appears to be the grip. To add on to this question, I couldn't find a youtube video about the Nitron one, but the TAC OPS apparently comes with 4-5 magazines. The extra money might seem worth it then.. Confirm if thats it? I also notice the grips on the tac being a bit more aggressive. Something I would end up doing if I got the nitron one. |

My SIG 1911 has been very well behaved so far. I like the pebbled plastic Ergo grips, I feel they are the most effective 1911 grip you can buy for the money. I'm not impressed with the magazines and would not want 5 of them. Mine have vomited the rounds out of the top on two occasions when I pulled the loaded mag from a belt pouch. Other than that alarming feature, they worked fine.
SIG has really gone batshit crazy with the amount of model variations they offer –– both with their P-series and 1911s. From my observations, I believe there is no qualitative difference between the models, simply cosmetic ones. |
| The TACOPS model features a magazine well and Ergo XT grips. It also has ambidextrous safety levers and comes with four magazines. The Nitron Rail does not come with the extra two magazines, an ambidextrous safety, or a magazine well. I believe it has rosewood grips. I have not read a single truly negative review for the Sig 1911s. I am considering buying one myself. All of them that I have handled (maybe a half dozen or so) have seemed better put-together than my Colt Rail Gun, and they have all had slightly better triggers. |

The problems at SIG have nothing to do with them being in Exeter, NH. For many years SIG made top quality pistols at the Exeter facility. rather, it has everything to do with shitty management cheapening the production methods for the P-Series and letting QA & QC slip while asking a higher price for them. The 1911s, on the other hand, seem to be the best guns leaving Exeter these days, with a lot of hand-fitting being done to these pistols, just as they should be. |
