Not a Sig fan, external extractors are just wrong and ugly. I've disassembled a few and not really impressed by the machining/fit quality. There are worse and better but I'm just not convinced they are in the league they say they are.

I'm a Springfield, STI, Dan Wesson fan.

Bit choices make the world go around, I'm sure they are folks here that feel just as strongly against my preferences.

I have the TacOps as well as a C3, and both have been flawless from day one. It has been my experience that most of the Sig feeding issues are caused by the extractor. The best cure, is to simply replace the extractor. Sig CS is very good, and will surely take care of any issues you encounter.

We tried McCormick's, wilson 47Ds and ETM's, the stock sig ones and some colt mags, it isn't a mag issue.

My C3 had feed issues to start with, Sig has excellent customer service and I had my pistol back in under one week! Problems solved.

I love my C3, and trust my life to it.


I think that is the next step if it hiccups again, thanks for the encouragement about Sig CS.

I have the tac-ops traditional model, and it's been 100% from right out of the box to today.

My LGS came through - no free .22 - and I picked up a Tac-Ops last night.

Grabbed what I thought was a full 100 round box of WWB and headed to the range. Only 90 in the box, but anyway...

90 flawless rounds down range. No stoppages. No misfeeds, no FTRB's.

LIKE.

I've put 200 through mine so far, flawless as well. I've read some people griping about the Sig mags not playing nice with the slide stop, but mine have been perfect every time.

Got to shoot a friend's TacOps tonight too, very nice, but I love the round butt frame on my Nightmare. 8-)

I have a P938. Not a 1911, but 1911-style. Love it. Have had my eye on their Traditional Match Elite 9mm 1911 for a while now.
