1911 Sig Nightmare 357 Sig

[dross]

I'm sold on the 357 sig. I like the Sig Fastback Nightmare. Anyone have one? Any opinions on the full size vs. the commander (carry) size? I'm sold on the cartridge - not asking for your opinion of that vs 45 ACP.

Have you yet invested anything in the cartridge?

Planning on more than one platform for the cartridge?

Want to reload / reload for anything else already?

Have you considered .38 Super?

Really not trying to derail your thread - I'm sure Sig makes a fine 1911. And the .357 Sig cartrdige (loaded properly!) is a heck of a thing.

I had the full size Nightmare and it was a great gun. Super accurate.
Sig 1911's are a different breed so 99% of regular 1911 holsters won't fit. that's the only thing I didn't care for.
I would still have it, but I traded it and another gun for a Les Baer 1911

AllenM had a bobtail commander build in .357 Sig. I believe it was a Fusion kit he assembled with his custom touches here and there. He can give you an honest assessment of the 357 Sig in a 1911 platform.

I have a sig 1911 scorpion and its my favorite pistol right now. But yes you will be limited in holsters. This is not my EDC so I don't really care about the lack of holsters.

I'd like to have the carry model, I have seen the full size and didn't realize the carry was out yet?

The holster issue is only an issue when shopping locally for brand names. Those are generally mediocre holsters anyway. Order a Kramer Scabbard in horsehide and you'll have one of the best holsters out there for the Sig.

357 SIG is why I stopped carrying a .45. A lot of people dismiss the 357 SIG as a novelty round, but it packs more punch than a 9mm, more barrier penetration than a .40, and more capacity than a .45. 357 SIG out of a 1911 would be interesting.
