Sig 1911 question

[byhova]

I want to purchase the Sig "Spartan" 1911 my question is, is this a gun that you would shoot or is this more of a collector gun?

Change the grips and shoot it.

I just love the look of the grips & the gun itself (I'm a huge fan of the spartan era) which is why I like the gun....I don't like the thought of buying a gun and not shooting (I'm not a collector). But then would hate to see this gun worth some money down the road if its unfired!

@deo62 why change the grips?

 

[deo62]

Just a little gaudy for my tastes. No other reason. Do love the bronze finish though. As far as the pistol itself, I recently acquired a tacops sig, most accurate 1911 I own.

Shoot it.

Shoot it!

I say shoot it. With Sig not being a big 1911 name and the Spartan having the Sig profile slide, I doubt you will be able to resell it for a bunch later. So since that's my perception, and since I also recently bought an awesome Sig tacops...I say shoot it! LOTS!

Shoot it. My Sig 1911's are the smoothest I've shot... for the money.

There you go... You aren't buying it as a collector gun. Shoot it and enjoy it!

Shoot it, enjoy it, and take care of it! I wouldn't necessarily practice carrying it if you're possibly wanting to collect it down the road, but I wouldn't let that stop me from shooting it. Gun's are meant to be shot (most of the time), but just maybe "baby" it a bit more when it comes to cleaning and storage! Just my .02

This exactly!

 

[SmokinSigs357]

Shoot it and take care of it. There are plenty of fired guns out there that are well taken care of and look beautiful.

I appreciate all the feedback. The overall consensus is to shoot it. So this will be more exciting when I get it....that it won't be sitting in a safe with me thinking about shooting it...I'll actually shoot it instead of storing it.

Shoot it. Despite what one commentator said about Sigs in the negative, Sigs are infinitely better made than most if not all of the 1911 wannabes except for the likes of Colt, Kimber, WC, EB, SW etc.

 

[sbond]

Shoot it and have fun.........

 

[iChokePeople]

I would HOPE this thread is no longer of any value. If the OP hasn't shot it yet, I reverse my position -- he should sell it to someone who will shoot it.

The sig 1911s won't ever be really collectable. They're going to be good guns that are meant to be shot.

Question solved, by two. If your married, better make it three!

Question solved, buy two. If your married, better make it three!

FTFY - didn't look at grammar/punctuation though...
