SIG SAUER Begins to Ship 1911 Ultra Compact in 9mm

    This SIG 1911 is very similar to mine in 45 acp. I like mine alot and have found it to be accurate and unlike some compact 1911’s very reliable. It’s also just good looking! Information and stats are below the press release.

    NEWINGTON, N.H. (September 21, 2015) — SIG SAUER, Inc., has begun to ship its new 1911 Traditional Ultra Compact chambered in 9mm. This rock-solid concealed carry pistol offers the same familiar 1911 controls and SIG SAUER® reliability as the tested .45 Auto Ultra Compact, but in the popular 9mm caliber.

    The 1911 Traditional Ultra Compact features the rounded 1911 slide profile, thumb and grip safeties, and a crisp 5-lb. single-action trigger 1911 fans know and love. The natural stainless steel slide stands out from the black hard coat anodized alloy frame.

    A skeletonized trigger and hammer give the 1911 Traditional Ultra Compact a high-performance edge. Low-profile night sights and the natural ergonomics of the 1911 platform deliver pinpoint accuracy and performance. Custom Rosewood grips round out the look.

    Measuring just 6.8˝ in length and 4.8˝ in height, the 1911 Traditional Ultra Compact makes a great concealed carry option or a backup gun. With 8 rounds of 9mm, the 1911 Ultra Compact offers greater capacity than most of the ultra compact carry options on the market.
