[QUOTE="Go_Ordnance, post: 1083888, member: 7266"] Yes. A quick review: I've been looking around for a .45, and had pretty much made up my mind on a Sig P220. Was shopping on the internet, and came across some LEO/Military priced Sig's. They finally started that, instead of the doing the rebate thing. I had my eye on the Elite stainless, but they had none in stock. They did have the STX though. Also turned out they had a retail store and were ony 30 miles away. I'm really not a 1911 guy, and I started reading up on the Sig 1911's when I ran across this one. Bottom line is that they initially had problems, but those have been worked out and most people are happy with theirs. I noticed this latest generation has started using some MIM parts (grip safety, thumb safety and mag release), which they apparently didn't use to do; but Sig advertises no MIM for the internals... A little play in the slide (maybe 1 or 2mm), and the lockup tight with no play. Trigger pull is a little heavy, but it breaks clean. Overtravel adjustment was on the money. I field stripped it when I got it home Friday, cleaned and lubed it up. Took it to the range yesterday and ran 200 rounds through it without a hiccup. It's got great balance, and shoots better than I do. Grouping in the picture was at 15 yards (I pulled that one to the right... :teehee: ). At that range, you can shoot the x-ring out of a B-34 silhoutte without a whole lot of effort. This thing is like a laserbeam. For a hair under a grand, I'm very pleased with this gun. Now I just gotta pick up some of these targets, so I'll be ready for the zombie apocalypse. [attach=full]74996[/attach] [/QUOTE]
