Default Sig Ultra Range Report

Since the closest thing I can find on their website to my pistol is the "Ultra Two Tone" I'm gonna call it an Ultra (if there are no objections)



Took it for the maiden voyage today. The very first round failed to go into battery, but then the slide is REAL tight.

After that?

Not a single failure, malfunction, hiccup, or even wild shot. The thing shot beautifully. It was remarkably controllable which kinda surprised me. I was shooting cast loads that are right at the power floor for CDP class IDPA. Ejection was very consistent.

I shot about a box of ammo at 7 yards, some slow, some fast, some pulling the trigger as soon as the front sight was in the black. And in the black it stayed the whole time. I may not be able to do a double tap as fast as with a full size 1911, but the pointability was really surprising.

I used every kind of 1911 mag I own, from a GI mag to a Wilson Combat. It seems to be completely indifferent to what kind of mag I use. It performed flawlessly with them all. Because of the mag well, Govt model mags don't look odd in it, but stick out just enough that you don't need a bumper pad. In fact, I think the Officer mags with bumper pads that came with it look odder than Govt model mags with no bumper pad.

I think it's a keeper!
