This is half of my Forbes 20B.. changed the trigger out and put on some slimline G10 grips. Weighs in at 34 ounces with 7rds. Of 230gr. pills, 6 ounces more than my G36 with 6 rounds.. Nice feeling pistola, need to put it through some paces and order up an IWB.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt32/Rancho_Loco/IMG_1599_zps773d212e.jpg)
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Beautiful pistol and beautifully made. They shoot as good as they look and carry, too.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Rancho. Look at These guys He makes a lot of holsters specifically for the SIG 1911 profile

Nice.. But will probably go with a tucker. The new 1911 compact nickle was pretty tempting at decision time..

Holy balls this thing is a shooter.. went through a hundred rounds without a hiccup this afternoon - 230 gr. ball, 200 gr. GDs, 230 gr GDs, 200 gr. XTPs, 230 gr. XTPs. Really likes 200 gr. XTPs over a max load of PP.
Ordered a Tucker cover-up, and I'm a happy man.

I have the Sig Ultra. I really like the way these Sigs run. Mine feeds everything I've tried.

Rancho, that is sweet and unique. Congrats.
I more or less traded my Kimber Carry stainless for a reverse two-tone full size Sig. Is yours a model 80 trigger? Mine is but I was under the impression not all were. My Sig trigger is a touch lighter but a tiny bit mushy compared to the Kimber which was textbook crisp. I swapped the utilitarian looking grip panels out with some very pretty burled mesquite and the look went from tough\serious to genteel\refined. :-)
I am hitting better with the full sized but I would buy either brand again. Enjoy.

What's 'have' got to do with it? I'm going through a phase of not having enough S&W N-frame .44 magnums. When I've sated my appetite for those, I may well start looking at having not enough 1911s.

Your loosely worded summation applies if you want G17 like reliability and lifespan from a 1911. Never owned a Baer but I'd wager they qualify and one can be had for half of your inflated estimate.

Ok.. Help me out here on night sights. I guess the ones for Sig 1911's are super secret.
That's a novak cut on the rear, but what about the front dovetail?

Rancho, Mepro light and Novak both make sights for Sig 1911s
I believe the front is size "190"
