|  50th birthday present to myself!
Turning 50 and financially sound, looking for opinions on 1911's. Wanting a higher end model than my Kimber Custom II.
I've been looking at Sig Scorpion. What do you all think? I know this is a loaded question so be gentle and play nice!
Thanks |

Happy birthday and I haven't seen a sig 1911 I don't like. Black AND stainless has a classy look to me.
play the victim, be the victim

I just traded off my last two Kimbers, bought Colts, why pay more to IMHO get anything that would add anything to it's ability to shoot.

My choice would be the Les Baer BOSS 45. __________________

losack, I love my Sig Scorpion Carry! Just love it! Everything already on it not much to add or say about it.
Here's the range report from this sight I posted shortly after I bought mine.

You will love this firearm! Sig got it right. __________________
