Sig Sauer M11-A1
« on: May 06, 2013, 09:51:17 PM »
What are your thoughts of this firearm?

Anyone have one?

Would you get this over a P229 SAS Gen2?

Thanks.

If its anything like a p228 its nice tight and points naturally.   I've only shot the p228 and have been questing for one since

I think it is actually more of a P229.

The specs are identical to that of a P229 SAS Gen2, with the exception of phosphate treated internal parts.

Service Grade: SIG SAUER's M11-A1

Another handgun that is currently in active service with the U.S. military, yet goes relatively unmentioned and unappreciated, is the SIG SAUER M11 in 9 mm Luger, once known as the P228.

Yes the M11 is a P228.
The P228 has an internal extractor and a folded carbon slide.

The M11-A1 is a totaly different gun.
Milled stainless steel slide with the long external extrator, mated to a P229 frame.

Yes, I read the review, pretty good one at that.

The newest pistol in the catalog, however, is the M11-A1, a redesignated version of the P229 in 9 mm.

The two are practically identical size wise other then the slide on the m11a1 is slightly smaller and that it only comes in 9mm. Being in Hawaii and our weather I would go with the m11a1 if you dont want a caliber larger than 9mm. I have the mk25 and the coating is nice I have had no issues with rust/corrosion and I live in a high humidity area right across from the ocean

The MK25 seems like a really nice gun as well.

Has anyone seen the M11-A1 in stock anywhere?

I havent seen one anywhere on island. I'm glad I picked up my mk25 it has a rail for a weapons light I think it's a better personal/home defense pistol for that fact. The m11a1  makes a great conceal carry pistol but good luck on that if your not a LEO

I love it!!  Super quiet, never uses ammo, and takes up no room in the safe!

I get my permit to pick it up this Friday!!   :D

I can't speak for the M11 but I have a P228 and I will never part with it. It is the best balanced pistol I have ever shot. It points naturally for me and even though I have long fingers it fits my hand nicely for a compact weapon. It is also very accurate for a short barreled pistol and allows for a quick second shot due to the balance. The trigger takes a bit of getting used to since it is a DA/SA with a decocker. In SA the trigger breaks cleanly and crisply. DA is smooth and doesn't stack like a revolver. If you have a chance to hold/try one you will probably like it.

Seems like the 2 week wait is getting longer and longer with each purchase! 

I must be getting more impatient as I get older.  Before I can pick up the permit I've already applied for, I've gone and bought another firearm while I wait!!  Is this what the Brady Bill intended when they pushed for mandatory waiting periods??   ???
