New Sig Sauer 1911 Ultra Compact

[MRC]

The XR9 fits my hand like a glove.  Most 45's feel a little big in my hand, but I can reach the trigger.  I shoot Auto Mags and Wildeys and the grips on them are huge but the triggers are fairly nice single actions and not the long pull of DAO.

The recoil spring on the Boberg is just to push the slide back forward.  That is why the slide feels so slick.  The "reverse feed action" is what takes up the recoil.  I have seen videos of Arne Boberg shooting the pistol with no recoil spring in the gun.  He flips the slide forward to return it.

To appreciate the Boberg design you really have to shoot it.

Do you guys carry your 1911's Cocked and Locked in your waist band and and belt holster?

It's the only way I ever carry it.

I also.

And here is a link to a thread discussing another option:

Nice gun. I have one and shot it next to my Kimber ultra carry II and the Sig is a tick nicer IMO plus I don't like how the ultra carry takes down.

The one thing I can say for the Kimber ultra carry II is that it has a pretty good reputation for running very dependably. So far my sig is 100%, but it's only got 100 or so and the Kimber has 200-300. Both are very nice IMO.

+1 on the G36 tracker.

As for cocked and locked... I am very conscious of my side arm when carrying cocked and locked and I like to forget I'm carrying, but as others have stated its the only way to carry a 1911. That's why I don't carry mine typically.
