Title: Sig 1911 Scorpion
Post by: Austrian Hunter on June 21, 2012, 05:43:13 PM: Anyone have one? I love Sig guns and this one looks really cool, should be a perfect sidearm during archery. Would love to hear from guys/gals who have one or shot one. Thanks!

I agree, I don't like the looks but it's smooth as butter and adjustable, there is absolutely no wiggle room, really crisp. I looked at it yesterday, and I bought it :rolleyes: Now I have to find time to shoot it.

Thanks,

I am in the market for a 1911 and I will be buying a Sig. all match grade components in a tight no no sense gun that shoots great. I shot the Springers, Kimbers, ect.... but for a mid range ($600-$1200) gun I liked the Sigs. I will most likely go with the nitron instead of the scorpion since its effectively the same gun without a few upgrades. The solid trigger is actually really nice. Sig builds out of function not looks so the solid trigger is a way to keep dirt and crap out of the trigger. Good luck!

Stadler Firearms in Yakima. List Price $1100-$1400 I paid $1000 for the Scorpion. I also looked at the Kimber Covert II but chose the Sig over the kimber. Kimber is about $300 more and its not $300 better than Sig. My opinion. I would buy soon, there is a shortage of guns from the Factories, Kimber 1 year out, Sig 8-10 months out. Buy what you can find and what you like. Getting closer to election prices will increase!!
