I just picked up a Sig 1911 Nitron Super Target 45ACP

I was offered this pistol for a rather low price considering it is unblemished and no wear, scratches, or chips.
I took it to the range immediately after I picked it up after the waiting period.
I wasn't shooting it all that well, which bothered me since the gun has a reputation for accuracy.
After I got home I thought about it for a while and decided the target style wood grips with the palm swell were throwing off my trigger pull since I have a short trigger finger due to an accident years ago.
I changed out the grips for a standard size set I had lying around.
I made it back to the range today and apparently the grips were the issue. The pistol shot really well today so I am pleased with it.
It shot and fed well with both FMJ and my cast loads so all is good.
I found it at a gun store that doesn't sell 1911 style pistols often so they gave me a deal.
Online retail is near $1500 new. I got it for $700 and tax.

You did very well!

Pics or it didn’t happen.

What's the throat look like? Any freebore or is it rifled right to the case mouth?

I don't know since I didn't look. However, it feeds semi wadcutters just as well as the barrels you throated for me.
I have put approximately 200 rounds through the pistol so far. Probably 50 of them were the semi wadcutters. The rest were either TC or RN.

Here are your pictures.


Here is another SIG I picked up from another shop on the same day for the same price. This one is a 45ACP nickel rail model. It also shoots well.

I am going to send you out to do all my shopping. I'll send you my wish list.

I was expecting to see much higher prices on both of these pistols. When they told me the price, I just couldn't resist.
If it was something I wanted to do, I could make money on both of these.
The Nitron Target model sells for around $1000 or a bit more on Guntrader.
The Nickel Rail, while a good buy, is not as good a buy as the Nitron.
The Nickel Rail is one of those pistols that I can just pick up and shoot and the bullets hit where I want them to almost effortlessly. It fits my hand well and points naturally for me. That's something I don't have happen often.

Nice pair Taz! Those wood grips look very nice and functional as well.

Thanks for the pics.

Enjoy
