Our Assessment: Colt's 1911 served the United States military through two World Wars and several other conflicts, is still in use by some units today, and has become popular with law enforcement, competitors, and recreational shooters across the nation. The design has seen some updates including a firing-pin block safety, higher profile sights, and more ergonomic grips, but the basic design and fantastic trigger remain the same after more than a century. Due to its popularity and long life, the 1911 has also been a popular choice for custom pistols, with a wide variety of sights, barrels, parts, and popular modifications. It is also made by just about every big name in the game like this one from Sig Sauer. Sig has long been a quality handgun manufacturer, with their P-series pistols some of the most popular on the market. Still, even Sig knows that there’s something timeless about the 1911.
This is their take on the classic 1911, with a series '80 firing pin block, external extractor, and black nitron finish on the slide and frame. It is in Fine-Excellent condition with its original box, though you will need to source your own 1911-compatible magazines. If you don't have a 1911 or don't have a Sig, this pistol can check both boxes and should make a great shooter for years to come. Please see our photos and good luck!
