I picked up a Sig Scorpion 1911 today to celebrate my 49th birthday. From the shop, we brought it home, cleaned it, gave it a good lube and then took it out to MCFG for a quick test drive. We ran about 140 rounds through it with mixed results. When I was using my Wilson Combat 8 round mags, the gun was flawless. When I used the Sig 8 round magazines, there was a FTF on at least one round per mag. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with Sigs magazines, but I do love this gun. The grips are a milled micarta type material they call G10 and extend below the frame a bit to form a beveled mag well. The night sights are nice and bright and hit POA as long as I do my part.
I don't know why companies skimp on good magazines for pistols that command a fairly high price. My Kimbers came with crap mags and now the Sig has them as well. I just don't get that.
But, I sure do like this gun. I'd been telling myself that I need to buy a 1911 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1911 and I wanted one that represented a modern perspective. I think this one will work out nicely and once I've run some additional ammo through it, it will become the nightstand gun
