Bought a Sig Sauer 1911 / 22

Two weeks ago I didn't even know this gun existed.

I Bought a Sig Sauer 1911 / 22




I took it to the range yesterday and put 100 rounds through it.

Not one problem.

It's sights were way off for me.

But Sig included everything I needed to change the front sight.

It's a really fun gun to shoot.

It s very accurate now.

FWIW: It's a re-branded GSG. I haven't shot a Sig version but have the GSG model. They're terrific small caliber trainers for their .45ACP big brothers and just a lot of fun to shoot.

The screw

One of the few ways the GSG/Sig differ from a true 1911 is that the Allen screw must be removed as part of the take down procedure (no screw on a "real" 1911 frame). Another potential "gotcha" is the recoil spring, the ends look the same but if the spring is reversed the pistol will lock up when fired (at least in my example) providing ample opportunity to exercise my vocabulary. It is enough like a 1911 that you think you can take it down, clean it and put it back together without consulting the book and maybe YOU can, I couldn't (the first time). Note just to the left of the Allen screw "Read manual before use".

@ darkroommike

You be correct.

I tried to take it down quickly at the range the day I bought it.

To wipe it down and lightly oil the rails before I shot it the 1st time.

I hadn't read the manual ... it's best to do what you said.

I love shooting it.

And it shoots great.
