Parts

[weemsf]

I am looking to pick up a Commander sized 1911. Do the Sigs interchange with standard 1911 parts? How do they compare with the Dan Wesson line of pistols?

The only part that does not interchange is the external extractor. A Sig is pretty much a series 80 style Colt design with a bulky slide.

As to your other question, I have never held a DW to make a comparison. To get a DW you have to spend at least a grand. Most Sig 1911's are under a grand.

Thanks for responding and the info.

I strongly considered a DW before I got my Sig. I don't get what the fuss is about. Seemed like very nice well made pistols. Not worth anything close to $1500.

I find Sig's 1911 to be one of the better 1911s on the market. I have GSR Blackwater now TacOps. It shoots like a house a fire, and I like it.

I agree - liking the SIG 1911 platform more and more.
