    Holy shit, a SIG 1911? I can't fathom this decision, since I know they didn't change the design to have a good extractor.

    Who did that extractor change? Was it smith? Either way... when it wouldn't run the guy took it to the shop and the dealer had him grip it, then shake it.... and do the same with a Springfield TRP or operator or some such. When he could hear all the crap rattling around in the Sig, he openned his eyes.

    I don't know why people think that a Sig 1911 is worth buying. I keep hearing that the classic lineup of Sig 9mm pistols is returning to its old quality but I'd have to see it first hand before I'm entirely willing to throw down about a grand for a P229.

    Normally I just grab a couple different ones of mine (rifle or handgun),let them buy the ammo and take them to the range. Show the differences,also good points/bad points,then let them look up reviews about what they "think" they might want and let them choose what they prefer.

    Too funny. Maybe a sig 1911 would be a bad decision if a person was only allowed to own one pistol for their entire life and anticipated being in more than a few shootouts. Soldiers get issued handguns so I'm not talking about combat use. Are you under the impression that they don't extract? Or is our that you read somewhere that the external extractor is junk? How many had you tried before making this decision? How many 1911s do you own? My sig 1911 does great at the range, more accurate than my glock, and it has a much nicer trigger too. I only have about 800 rounds through it so far, but no malfunctions to date.

    I'd hope that the Sig would have a better trigger than a Glock or otherwise that product line would be too sad. Not sure why you'd get a Sig when a TRP is only about $3-400 more.

    Brand Identidy I guess... yeah... the old Sig rep for good pistols still lingers... <Delete>.

    What negative feedback has there been on the M400 line? Reported lapses in performance?

    Full disclosure, got the sig c3 plus for $653 at the sig pro shop in nh. A friend shared the 50% discount with me. It is a lot of pistol for the money at the price I paid.

    At $653 I'd get a PPQ and some PPQ mags over a 1911. Also I'm not on the East Coast so I have no access to the Sig pro shop. Now if the pro shop sold P220, P226, and P229 for around $700-800 then I'd be kicking myself for not ever being out there.
