I realize that this article is 4 years old this month..Dec. 2016, but just wanted to say, I've had my Sig Ultra Compact Two Tone about a year now, haven't fired it much at all, but have enjoyed it, the times I have. I've highly personalized/customized mine. Even Sig said they've never seen one done like that!! However, I'm going to try and sell or trade it, evenly, for the Ruger SR 1911 Commander, all Stainless. It's just something I want to do. I've always loved Ruger guns, since the 1960's. I have 2 "Old Model" 3 screws, that are 44 years old, and look as good as the day I purchased them!! It is a great article about a great gun!!

I appreciate your comments/feedback...Mr. McKnight,<br /><br />I appreciate your comments/feedback. Very helpful sir. I'm 38 mother of 5 kiddos ranging 15-3 and have owned my Sig P238 for over a year and am totally in love with it. Perfect for CC carry for me considering I'm 5'1 (on a good day) with short upper body/torso that makes my cc option limited. HOWEVER, I am itching for a second firearm and my husband has found an awesome deal on a Sig 1911 Ultra that is my P238's bigger twin. Super excited to have a bigger firearm but was worried about how I would be able to handle it. <br /><br />Hearing that your wife loved it is refreshing to hear. :) <br />Looking forward to owning a big boy too. (Big for me at least.)

All very nice guns but at the end of the day when I looked at the features of the Sig vs the others, plus fit and finish it was too hard to pass on the Sig Ultra. The low profile night sights, two tone finish, beautiful grips, awesome trigger, simple field take down and reassembly just out did the other guys. In your hands you can see and feel the quality. I got it brand new for $855 out the door which just sealed the deal. Shop it, do not pay the retail at over $1,000 + tax some dealers are asking. I took the Ultrra out on 1/30/2016 and fired 250 rounds of 230g FMJ and it exceeded my expectations. At 21' and 60' I shot better than I have with guns with 4-5" barrels. Recoil was no more noticeable than my 4" .40. Target acquisition was fast and easy. If you are looking for a compact .45 I can now recommend the Sig. I was a little worried about the purchase initially because of FTF problems I had read about. As a former career law enforcement officer and police firearms instructor reliability is very important to me as it should be to everyone. I will put 250 more rounds through this gun and then start to rely on it as my primary self defense weapon. Side note: my wife shot 3 mags and loved it. She shot better with it than she did with her .380 G-42.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403559894076198894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-41029829472569386942015-12-08T19:18:50.030-06:002015-12-08T19:18:50.030-06:00the 938 feels good in the hand however if you have...the 938 feels good in the hand however if you have big hands and you use a high grip like with the larger 1911 style the slide can and will bite you.

After shooting 100-200 rounds I noticed that the end piece had started to unscrew, which made removal if the rod and spring impossible until I took a needle nose and tightened it almost flush with the nose of the frame. I also noticed failures to feed, at least once per mag after about twenty rounds. Not sure if this is related, or why The Sig guide rod isn't one piece, After cleaning I added a couple drops of Lok-tite. Any comments, suggestions appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-53824040346239181372013-11-18T10:14:56.211-06:002013-11-18T10:14:56.211-06:00Love my ultra.

Have carried 1911's since 1964 in Nam and this one will continue to be on my side with the XDs going in the safe. As for recoil for me I barely notice it from my 5" Colt and it's more accurate. Also I carry the 8 round full size clips as backup. I know that's only 2 rounds extra, but I've never heard anyone say "I wish I had more ammo".463rd TCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895124659688811979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-38840686912098442013-06-12T17:50:51.183-05:002013-06-12T17:50:51.183-05:00I just picked up my sig 1911 ultra.

It allowed much easier slide stop installation; no more fiddling around, trying to find just the right angle where it slips in easily. <br /><br />My grip of choice is the Pearce OM-2 rubber grips. To my hands they give a much better feel than the checkered stock double diamond wood grips which have a little too much "bite".<br /><br />Another excellent choice would probably be the Crimson Trace laser grips. <br /><br />And like most 1911s one can change the trigger to one that is much shorter or change the beavertail safety to one that feels more natural. <br /><br />My magazines of choice are the Wilson Combat and Tripp Research mags. The stock Sig mags fit flush with the frame and can slow down mag changes. A mag with just a little longer lip should help with reloads although you may be able to just feel them when holding to shoot. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-792626010572809282012-12-06T19:51:00.185-06:002012-12-06T19:51:00.185-06:00Mr. Peters,

If those things are important to you then go with the 938.<br /><br />If you desire the power of the .45 then the Ultra is good. As always, if you can borrow or rent these pistols you would be able to better come to a decision. However, that may be tough to do.Average Joe's Handgun Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03173747731064233358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-47785322639670213152012-12-06T01:08:55.635-06:002012-12-06T01:08:55.635-06:00I never bothered with even looking at 1911's, ...I never bothered with even looking at 1911's, too expensive to buy and shoot, besides the design is ancient.<br /><br />Yet I now have two guns that are similar to the 1911, a Sig P238 and a Ruger 22/45 and I love shooting both.
