Nice review, love the character on the pistol, always makes it easier to justify some hard use .

If interested we have Inforce APL on sale right now (click here).

Or if you need a holster we have a variety to choose from, the Blackhawk Omega VI Ultra Universal Modular Light Holster is currently on sale, or the Blackhawk ISP, and finally from my personal collection I'm selling a 5.11 drop leg rig.

Again, good review OP, glad to see these are of good quality for the price point.

Just received mine from SFRC. Looks great with little visible wear on the outside, mostly just the finish on the barrel. Looks worse in the pictures with the glare and the lint fibers.
I cant wait to try it out this weekend!

 

[no-regard]

I picked up the same gun a couple weeks ago, similar condition, no complaints here. Now if only my registrations would come I could test it out! Grrr...

Well it shoots great, seems to especially like the 115 grain HAP bullets over the 124 grain BDX. Maybe 200 rounds through it so far with absolutely no malfunctions that weren't caused by me (thumb on slide release)

Nice pic! I especially like your choice of cigars.

What's the consensus on the grease for the rails? I've always just ran a CLP based but I'm curious now.

Frog Lube will work as long as it is not applied too heavily. I still use Frog Lube for some things, but have switched to FIREClean on the rails, and any moving parts. If you peruse the various Sig forums, they usually recommend an oil on the rails.

And Sig Germany includes grease for the same reason....lol
Grease on sliding parts and oil on rotating parts........or anything better than bone dry. Oh and stay away from CLP (they give them CLP just because its the cheapest not the better)
Little wear here and there make you look like a OPERATOR ..lol

Hate to say this Mikey, but that's not a couple of range trips worth of shooting. That gun has many thousands of rounds through it, possibly with insufficient lubrication. I would recommend that you change the recoil spring before shooting the gun. Also, only use grease on the frame (CLP type lube is a bad idea for aluminum framed guns).

I have not had great luck with the Sig 'High Definition Grease' they include with the X Series and other German Sigs in cold weather--it is too thick in cold temperatures.

Try automotive grease such as Mobil 1.

Never had a problem with the TW25B in severe cold. Also MC2500 = lighter viscosity oil version of the famous grease works magic in cold. As mentioned here before most synthetic automotive grease will work in "minus a lot" environment. I sometime use too much and the mess in a kydex holster.........Wife even ask if i still go to the IDPA matches since i have no more grease spots on my clothing ....(i since change to a Glock ..lol)

I picked up one like this from Wolverine several years back. I was initially concerned by the wear but it was a great deal and shows no signs of quitting. I use red wheel bearing grease, you can get it almost anywhere. Replace the recoil spring every 5,000 rounds and you should be good to go.
