Issued to US Naval Aviation and key units in every branch of the Armed Services, the M11 is proud to serve. Upgraded with a stainless steel slide, a Short Reset Trigger and 15 round flush fit magazines, the M11-A1 variant features the same phosphate coated internals, SIGLITE® night sights and MIL-STD UID label of the standard-issue M11.
Put 1100 rounds thru this pistol and not 1 failure of any kind. Easy to field strip and added a Crimson Trace laser for a nice package.
When I first got this gun it had some problems extracting.... apparently a common problem with this particular extractor setup at Sig because my 229 had a similar issues. This gun was sent back to Sig. Customer service was great. Paid for shipping both ways and it has since been 100% flawless. Never failed to fire and feeds every type of cheap fmj ammo imaginable. Good gun.
The SIG M11a1 is a great pistol. As a long time SIG owner my favorite model has always been the P226, of which I have three. The P226 is a little large for concealed carry, so I bought the M11a1 and it's been a dream to carry and shoot. Don't be mistaken by the name, a true M11 is a P228, whereas the M11a1 is a 9mm P229 with grips that say, P228 on them. This doesn't mean it's not a great gun, in fact some of the features are better than the real M11. Just don't buy it thinking it's something that it's not.
Great addition to my collection. Very accurate, dependable, excellent firearm.
Recently I got the Semi-Auto pistol bug and really started looking at whats on the market, which is a lot! Found I really like the quality and value of Sig Sauer its in the Kimber, H&K and FN quality, and I wanted a 9mm that was better than my Browning Hi-Power. Checked out the P226, and its nice, but a bit big. Then felt a P229 shorter barrel, and finally the M11-A1. Wow, the balance is awesome! Shooting this pistol is a dream, very smooth. Low recoil, fast target reacquisition, great trigger in SA & DA, amazingly well made. Comes with 3 magazines, night sights standard. No faults so far, just great pistol.
