Sig M11-A1

[Jestik]

It would be one of the few, perhaps even the only gun that I would switch to from my Glock 23 Gen 4.

I second this, including the part about regretting selling mine because I was told you could not shoot it in IDPA and expect to do well.....

I'll third this!! I've only shot one, but my other two SIG's aren't leaving the heard!!!

just got a Scorpion a little while back. the gun shoots better than i can. Darn, i guess i am going to have to practice, and practice, and...................wheeeeeeeeeee

I'm a big 228 fan. I think the new M11-A1 is actually a 229 frame with a 228-ish slide on it. Still a great setup, but takes slightly different mags than the old 228. I might still try one out.

I find the barrel center line too high above the grip.
I think the Glock recoil is better due to the lower center line.
I had a couple of SIGs at one time or another, ended up getting rid of them, they just don't grow on me.

The M11 is the same as the army uses the army also has sigs, thus the "M", they have the M9 and the M11 as side arms they have been using it for years, and the M11 is a 228

First: the M11-A1 or P229 9mm are like a laser beam as far as accuracy goes. I am also completely amazed at how fast follow up shots are.

Just to be clear, the Sig M11-A1 is NOT a P228. It is a new style non-railed 9mm P229 with a P229 new style stainless steel machined slide. It takes the new wider P229-2 9mm Mags which is why they now hold 15 vs 13 on the older P229/M11.

Do not get me wrong, this is an AMAZING pistol. It is however, a non railed P229 9mm simply marked M11-A1.

The new M11-A1/P229 9mm share the same P229 40/357 frame but the slide on the 9mm is notably thinner.

Again, I love this pistol but it is not a 228. I’ll be the odd man out and publicly blaspheme that I prefer the newer nitron coated machined stainless steel slides over the folded / welded older design.

One note of caution, Sig’s are highly addictive.

The M11 IS A 228 the US ARMY uses A 228 M11 is a 228

here go MR SIG :
A compact version of the P226, the P228, is in use with various law enforcement agencies and also with the US military, where it is designated as the M11. The P228 has a shorter slide and barrel than the P226. Unlike the P226, the P228 is available only in 9×19mm Parabellum with a 13 round magazine, but can also use P226 15 or 20 round magazines. Aftermarket magazines extend the capacity of the P228 to 15 rounds. From a distance, the P228 can be differentiated from the P226 by comparing the trigger guards (the P228's is curved, while the P226's is slightly hooked) and the barrel and slide lengths (the P228's barrel 99 mm (3.9 in), thus having a corresponding shorter slide). Also in a side by side comparison the P228 would appear slightly shorter (15 mm (0.59 in) shorter) than the P226. The larger capacity P226 magazine can also be employed in the P228 although it extends from the base of the grip. Civilian sales of the P228 were discontinued with the introduction of 9mm chambering in the P229 but was recently reintroduced in limited quantities to civilians with an accessory rail and designated P228R. The P229 is nearly identical to the P228, however its slide is made from milled stainless steel (vs. the P228's forged carbon steel slide) and is available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG. In the summer of 2012 Sig Sauer announced they were releasing the M11A1, which is essentially the P228 with a short reset trigger, Sig Lite tritium night sights, MecGar 15 round magazines, and a military style smart tag and serial number. Later in 2012, Air Force M11b versions of the P228 were released for civilian sales. It's rumored that 50 of these were released.the M11 is to be replaced in the Army and Air Force through the Modular Handgun System program.
