I'm considering getting a 5" fastback Nightmare, any opinions on it?
It's either the fastback Nightmare or a Springfield TRP Gray.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Nice selections. Toss up. At the moment I personally would buy the sig for political reasons. That's just me, and I'm a springer fan.

The Nightmare is a good gun. One of the mods has two; one in .45ACP and one in .357Sig.

Wouldn't own a Springfield for any money right now. Plus, I'd rather have the 5" fastback Nightmare anyway.

I have a Fastback Nightmare Carry, and it is a fine gun. I'm sure the TRP would also be a great gun.

Personally, I'd go with the full-size Nightmare. I like the front-strap checkering on the Sig better - not as aggressive as the Springer. I also like the Sig Night Sights better - I find that the SA Night Sights are too hard for my aging eyes to see. I prefer the single-sided thumb safety of the Sig. And you can't beat the look of the Nightmare, IMHO.

I have the Full Size Fastback Nightmare in 357 sig and it is awesome. 357 sig round is an extremely hot round and it is pretty awesome how the full size 1911 handles that round. It is a lot of fun and extremely accurate.

I too have a Sig, Fastback, Nightmare in .357 sig and highly recommend it.

Very please with my SIg 1911 Nightmare full size in 45 acp. Quality in fit and finish is excellent as well as the trigger which breaks very crisp with no creep. Mine is one if not the best shooting of all my pistols.

^ This. I have the same. Very happy with it.

Sig fastbacks may just be the best bang for the buck in the 1911 world.

The Nightmare Fastback is the only 1911 I have now and will always encourage others to try one out when considering buying a .45. I have had mine for several years and never had any failures of performance.

Just picked up my first 1911. Can't go wrong with the nightmare fastback. I also was deciding between the nightmare and a Springer Range officer. I had to go with my love at first sight nightmare.

Agree its a nightmare week...picked up a fastback nightmare carry from the LGS this morning. Wonderful people at my LGS but they know I'm a very weak individual. Took the new nightmare down to the range but before I left a 229 Legion also found its way into my range bag also.

Nice gun!

I don't have a Nightmare, but I have a full size Fastback with Nightmare grips. You get a lot of bang for the buck with SIG 1911s.
