How is the sig GSR? I just put money down on one (stainless / no rail) at a local shop it is used but looks like it was never fired, the price was $750. Thanks for any info.

    SIG had the only real innovation in semi-auto handguns since the High Power. Enter today what the world needs like the Junta Virus, yet another 1911 clone, the retro GSR. So now SIG is putting you back in the same box it talked you out of thirty years ago, and this obviously for sake of market share. As far as I'm concerned, SIG stopped being SIG with the 229; everything after, including the GSR, is pandering either to fashion or invented need.

    For $750? Wow! They do go for a lot more then that! Half of all the parts in it are made by Novak. And Novak's stuff is top - shelf, you know. Kimber, Springfield, Para, Colt etc. you shoot them hard and often and they all do brake. Generic - precision casting parts is what you won't find in The Sig GSR. It's all machined from the block. Just take the slide off of it, first thing you'll notice is that the frame doesn't have the cut through the left rail right where slide stop lever is located. Barrel to bushing tolerance is set at 0.00" and then it's hand lapped to fit. Feeding ramp - polished and there is a small step between the frame and the barrel - just like supposed to. Don't worry about the external extractor, which is quite a change from the original. I do not know why Sig went for this particular departure from 1911 but, I'd say that it doesn't really changes anything, I mean, it isn't any better or making it worst then original Browning's. All in all, I can see you shooting this gun a lot and loving every minute of it. Good deal and good luck.

    Yeah I really hate my sigs too dws. The p220 and the gsr are a couple of the best .45's out of the box.

    Oh, I agree on the 220. But excuse me if I find a skeltonized trigger and accessory rail on a 1911 clone pandering to other than "out of the box accuracy" or other practical needs. Can't wait for the SIG AR15 clone.

    I guess for a 1911 follower the little things like the trigger could cheapen the appearance. This is my first 1911 and it works well for me.
