My Sig Sauer Collection

[programmatore]

Here's my Sig Sauer collection. I started with the SIG P229 and then I got a SIG 516 Patrol with a 16" barrel. To be honest I knew I wanted an AR but I was a total n00b and didn't know which one to get. I went with the brand I recognized, Sig Sauer, and luckily for me I have not had any issues.

I filed the form to convert the SIG 516 lower to an SBR lower. In the meantime, I saw a good deal on a SIG 516 Pistol with a 7.5" barrel so I bought it. Once I received the tax stamp I switched the PDW upper to the SBR lower and then converted the pistol lower to a rifle for the 16" upper.

I'm toying with the idea of getting one of those SIG 1911s for my next Sig.

very nice

which 1911 are you looking at? basic or one of their tooled up versions?

I got a big case of sticker shock yesterday when I saw the Sig Sauer 1911s at Sterling Arsenal. If I get one it will probably be the basic.

lol the irony I was in there yesterday looking at them as well

did you check out the American Classic 1911 they had there -not as name brandy and defintitely not as tight but if you are looking for a personal shooter, they assured me it holds up just fine-it may not be match grade but for the price seems a good way to start the 1911 collection (I went to look at sigs and had a bit of the same feeling and that was the alternative they suggested as a good one to start with)

Was the American Classic 1911 the one that was made in the Philippines? I think I saw that one and agree that it is a good starter 1911. It's pretty basic too so it might be fun to trick it out and learn more about 1911s. And at around $500 that leaves some money in the bank for accessories.

[Riposite]

yup that's the one

I only know because i was tempted by it too

Lol, I LOVE MY SIG 1911.

The only thing I changed was the recoil spring and guide rod.

Stock guide rod is about 1.5" and they use a "flat" 18lb spring.

I installed a Wilson Combat 2-piece guide rod and I'm using a 15lb spring right now. The 18lb seemed a bit too much after the full length guide rod install, and I haven't tried the 12lb one yet.

Breaks my heart to sell it, but I've got a few other priorities at the moment, and I will be getting another one.
