The 1911 pistol may be 113 years old, but that doesn’t mean that new versions aren’t still dropping. The latest is the 1911-XSERIES from SIG SAUER. So far the X series consists of three full-sized, steel-framed 1911s chambered in .45 ACP, as God and John Browning intended.
The XSERIES (Or XFULL as SIG also lists them as on their website) are 5-inch barrel guns with direct-mount optic capability. They come with XRAY3 Day/Night sights and the 1911-XFULL ROMEO-X comes with a SIG ROMEO-X compact red-dot installed. The 1911’s have an adjustable flatblade trigger and G10 grips from LOK Grips. They have a tail on the frame for lights or lasers and have an undercut trigger guard for a higher grip.
The XSERIES guns have ambidextrous safeties and slide releases, front and rear slide serrations and a removable extended mag well. They have a checkered front strap and nicely machined slide that gives it a pretty modern look for a century old design. It’s available in a black Nitron finish or a Coyote PVD. A more compact 4.25-inch optics-ready carry model will be available later in the spring. No prices are listed at this time.
