fastarget Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I am interested in hearing how it performs, and most interested in OAL of the rounds you are able to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I was looking into purchasing one last summer but could not find one available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 they seem plentiful now, and the prices are attractive for a 40 cal single stack gun, was curious how long of a round they can take, impressions regarding quality accuracy etc However , no responses yet.

amish_rabbi Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 do the sell one other than the traditional model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/1911-traditional-match-elite-stainless.aspx Stainless match Elite looks like it in 40 after a quick look at the sig site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have a Match Elite in .45. Reliability has been 100%. Approximately 2500 rounds through with zero issues. The factory trigger is just OK. Hammer and sear are MIM which I have replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks for the input. How is the accuracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Anybody know if this has a ramped barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amish_rabbi Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 yea just the traditional, I personally like the weird sig slide cuts, so traditional doesn't interest me. Between that and the series 80 I'm still waiting. I do love sigs though, so whenever they get to making one in .40 with their weird slide im in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The accuracy of mine is exceptional. So far mine has only seen factory 230gr ball ammo and it still groups tight. Getting ready to experiment with some 200gr handloads in he near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBolt Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not at all. I will likely buy another one at some point and looking at the Max Michel edition in .40. It is a lot of 1911 for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberacp Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 this what Sig should have done, was to introduce a Max Michel edition 40! my only concern would be with the extraction of 40 brass. 45acp I can see working well, with the larger rim dia. but with the 40 and the external extractor, am not sure. but other than that I would get one over the Para Pro comp. 40... IMO EGW sells a tool steel extractor for the Sig 1911 with the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhounder Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 As far as extraction should be no difference then with 1911s in 9mm. Have not had any problems with mine extracting shells. It is the only part the extractor that is in a 1911 excluding the barrel that has to be caliber specific. Have an alleged Max in 40 S&W on order let you know how it goes. Was supposed to ship last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 did not know the "Max" was being produced in 40 now, good news, lots of bang for the buck. 40 has never been a problem with other sig models, so it is not a point of worry.

SUPPOSE to more the word still waiting for it told was to be shipped last month. Have a P226 in 40 great pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Extraction has never been a problem with the ext. extractor and SIG They've had more problems with the x-5 internal extractor, BUt that can be remedied also I've got a couple of SIG 1911's and just swapped a Beretta 28ga onyx for a "Mad" MAXX 1911. Spent an hour looking it over and taking it apart etc. As much as the shop would let me and they were very Gracious!!! Seems like a real nice pistol Bought it at Buffalo Gun Center, Buffalo NY. They had more than one Top notch shop Pro Gun in Victor has them also, another top notch shop in upstate NY with people who know the business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhounder Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Enjoy yours in .45? Might give them a call then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Shot it last night in local practice match. First rounds out of the gun had a couple failure to feeds with long lead ammo End COF went well one failure to feed. Seems like its smoothing out real quick going back to range tonight and will be putting couple of hundred through it to get it up and running. Seems real accurate and smooth to shoot so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhounder Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Picked up an Elite in 40 runs great no problems,ran factory 150 rounds first,few failure to completely chamber but only first 50 rounds. Has a ramped barrel and even reloads at COL of 1.120 load no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
