ooh thank you sir! I'll have to take a look at that.
 
I did a little playing yesterday and have sorted out a holster for my Scoprion. I removed the rubber tensioing bushing from my Blackhawk! OWB leather 1911 holster and now it fits really well. I can post some pics later.

Love mine! Waiting for my Bladetech to come in for it. Kind of hard to get any real work done without a holster. Easily outshoots my capability, and a perfect clean crisp trigger break. The tolerances are insane, but the reliability keeps it running and the coating keeps it protected. This is going to be my go to 1911 until I am crazy enough to buy a Nighthawk Custom.
 
It's not a TacOps but a Blackwater...I think they have the same guts, just different funiture. I recently picked this one up and love it!

Ive had my 1911 Tactical Operations since November 2010 and run about 1000 rounds through. The thing is a laser beam and its liked all the ammo Ive put through it.

The only issues Ive had is the mag bases on all 4 mags that came with the gun. They are plastic and eventually broke at the rails where they slide into the bottom of the mag. From recent photos Ive seen of the Tac Ops Sig has either changed the mags or upgraded mag bases. The mags were ok quality but the bases were the cheapest and weakest link in my opinion. but hey it gave me an excuse to pick up a couple 10 rounders.

I too got mine in November. All four magazines, the bumpers failed. I called sig and they said they would warrantee them but I had to deal with my retail outlet I bought them at. Long and short, they blamed the importer and I only got two out of my four mags back. So I got screwed out of two magazines, but not Sig's fault. It still has left a bad taste in my mouth as I feel my retail outlet should have faught harder for me considering I paid a retail price of $1400 before taxes.

I also found that the detent spring was bent badly, it still works but I asked for a warrantee replacement and was told they would have to send my baby away. So I said f--- that and I'll buy one myself. I'm not sure I'm going to purchase from that retail location again.

After my complaints, I love my 1911 TacOps. I miss it more than my wife and dogs when I'm out of town. It shoots great and feels great in my hands. There isn't anything that I don't like about my Sig 1911.

Word to the wise, order it from Questar!
