Sig Sauer 1911 stainless Target ( Range report March 10th )

STI Trojan, tuned at ARMCO
A lot of the rest are OK but seriously need better internals to be in the running. Kimbers, for instance are OK but why do they come with $18 hammers, triggers, and sears? Obviously spent so much on advertising they had to go to the lowest biddersThe new Remington is better cosmetically than a WW2 1911A1, but in tightness, trigger pull etc, not so! We see a lot of the SIG's etc. through here for tuning and they do need it
My 3 cents worth.

What is you take on the internals in the Trojan?
Raven definitely do.
I have a PARA that I've had no problems with once I replaced the ####ty plastic magazine parts with aluminum blocks.
I also have a Dan Wesson that I'd take over any of the entry level STI's any day. The fit and finish is incredible. I've got a .45 in the vbob in commander length.

Great choice - I have one! Awesome pistol. I got a Blade-Tech holster for it no problem. Enjoy!!
Para makes Norc QC look competent - you got a good one, that's not necessarily so for the guy who bought the one built after yours. Given a choice between an $1,100 Para and a $500 Armco Norc, I know what I'm buying and I'll have tons of ammo to go with it. As far as the DW goes, they're now in the $2,000 to $2500 price range (except for the one Razor Back left at ArmsEast - someone needs to do me a favour and buy that, it's waaaaay too tempting at that price) so comparing it to an $1100 STI is a little irrelevant.
As far as holsters go, Raven advises their holsters don't work with Sig 1911's, but take a look at Armordillo Concealment, they make a very similar holster specifically for Sig 1911's and they're apparently much quicker (and cheaper) - they get great reviews on local US boards.
I'll have a look for you.
Can't find the exact model number - but here is the link:

I've heard a lot of crap about the para's. I just like to say I got one that's given me no trouble. Bent mag lips are the biggest ##### I hear about when it comes to 1911's failing to feed.
I paid about the same price for my Dan Wesson as I did for my Para. If I'd bought the Dan Wesson first, i would have sent the para back, saved my month and bought a $2k STI
I also bought my DW just before the change over that drove their prices up 100%. If you can find a used one in the market, I'd buy it.
Where can I find me one of these? Preferably that beautiful scandium bobtail.
OH MAN! I want that Scandium E Series soooooo bad!

Oh man, I want that.....anyone know when they're coming and who has them on order?
I would try contacting North Sylva and see if they have brought any in, and if they can point you to who is retailing them.
i shot a sig 1911 that was a .22. ill be honest with you i really enjoyed shooting it. im not a big fan of .22's i enjoy a bit of recoil when i shoot. the 1911 was a nice feeling gun, shot well, shot very tight groups with cheap ammo even and id even consider buying one. it just had a great feeling in my hands, but you get what you pay for
