SIG SAUER 1911-XSERIES: Classic Design Meets Modern Innovation

While the wait seems like a day short of forever, it’s definitely worth it. SIG SAUER is pleased to announce the introduction of the 1911-XSERIES; the long-awaited pistols that blend the beloved features of the 1911 that made the platform iconic, with the modern necessities the enthusiast desires.

“America has a love affair with the 1911; the platform has a rich history that has withstood the test of time,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The 1911-XSERIES honors the standard and delivers XSERIES innovation and ingenuity to the platform. The pistols are available in carry and full-size, come optic-ready, have a smooth flat trigger, and are loaded with feature-rich upgrades straight from the factory.”

The SIG SAUER 1911 X-SERIES are stainless steel, 45 ACP hammer-fired pistols with an optics-ready XSERIES slide, X-RAY3 Day/Night sights, a serrated flat trigger, custom engraved and checkered G10 grips, extended slide release and ambidextrous safety levers, and each ships with (2) 8-round steel magazines. The pistols are available in the 1911-XCARRY and 1911-XFULL sizes in either black or coyote tan; both sizes offer the option of a factory installed ROMEO-X red dot optic. The 1911-XFULL is now shipping to dealers, with Carry models expected to start shipping summer 2024.

This sounds like it would be a great pistol if it actually existed beyond a few hand-built ones used for the photos and videos.

I won’t comment on the price because I can’t find a price.

I want someone to design a M-1911with a slightly larger Grip and a double stack Magazine. This would sell by the Millions!

If you are ok with 9mm I think there are several out there like the STI 2011….

Para Ordnance sold a 14-45. Just what you described. I had one but it was something of a handful. They’re still available on the aftermarket.
