Sig Sauer nightmare 1911 45acp any thoughts?

[ronsnighttrain]

I am looking to get into a 1911 45 and have taken a liking to the sig nightmare. Does anyone have any experience with one of these? I have a few 9mm and am looking to move up. Pros and cons of the nightmare?

Caramel had one.

Can't go wrong with the Sig 1911s. Polished feed ramps, nice snug fitted slide and bushing with a match grade barrel and crisp trigger. I love my Target model and would have bought the Nightmare had they been in stock at the time.

Yes, I can relate to this. It was the nightmare vs the sw1911ta. I mulled that over for months. Finally, I let the wifey decide. lol. She liked both but liked the rosewood coloured grips on the smith just that little bit more.
SW1911TA ftw. It's a gorgeous gun.
Good luck!
Post piks when you decide.

Buy a Series 70 gun.

Buy a Series 70 gun.

Agree. The safeties not a deal breaker if the pistols left stock, but not necessary. Still a nice pistol.

More agreement. Sig is well respected, but the 1911 was invented by John Browning - and the series 80 was invented by a lawyer. Who ya gonna trust?

I have a Nightmare, great gun, as are all Sig 1911's.

I personally don't like the Nightmare grip frame but that's just a matter of taste. I've owned three SIG 1911s and have liked all three very much--the trigger pulls on all of them were excellent. I wouldn't worry about the Series 80 thing one bit.

Thanks all for your input. I found one and am now waiting for the usual hoop jumping. I can't wait to receive it and get to the range. This will be my first of many 1911 45s I am sure!

If this is your first 1911, read up on the "idiot scratch". You don't want to cry the first time you put the gun back together.

I think the sig nightmare is one of the best looking 1911s out there!

Post some piks and a range report!

This is my first,I will make sure I YouTube and research how to properly care for it. I will post pics and range report as soon as the Ontario cfo thinks I should have it.

Good Choice.

I've had 2 of them. Fantastic.

I personally have owned a Nightmare Carry for three years. The first year I was a bit upset with it. The ejected cases would randomly shoot straight back and hit me in the forehead. After about 1,000 rounds (give or take), it ejected normally.
What got me through the first year of spent case "tea bagging" was the shear accuracy; tack driver.

I'm sure I'm an isolated case, but all in all this gun is amazing and I can only imagine that the full size model is even more precise. Get one!
