Smart purchase.....one of my favorite guns.....love mid sized SIGs....

 

Nice find. It mustn't have been used too much, because the sticker is still intact.

 

Hey, I got 20 rnds thru mine and it looks the same... '))

 

congratulations

 

Nice find, congrats

 

Gotta love getting a new SIG

 

Congratulations!!!

My M11A1 was also born in 2013, October 17th to be exact, bought it new around this time frame in 2017. Great platform, but even it cam be improved a little... I've got G-10s on mine, a GGI Dual Adjustable Trigger, and smoothed up strut assembly with a 19# Wolff Mainspring...

 

Congrats! I had one for a while and I absolutely loved the looks and build quality. Unfortunately once I took it to the range that Short Reach Trigger had a tendency to pinch my trigger finger constantly. It got so distracting after 3 mags I had to stop. I later discovered other owners were complaining about the same thing (I take it SIG's employees test their pistols with gloves on?). Anyway if you end up having the same problem you can just swap the trigger out for the fat one found on the normal P229/P226. Besides that I had zero other complaints.

 

There is a simple solution to the pinch from the short reach trigger which I too suffered.
You remove the trigger (Plenty of YouTube videos on how to remove and replace the Sig trigger) and grind off the tip about an eight of an inch.
I prefer the modified shorty over any of the fine after market triggers.
I acquired a number of shorties from people who gave up on them and modified them installing them in all my 9MM Sigs

Here is a shot of my P229SAS with the modified shorty (SAS came with standard "fatty") and my new M11A-1 that has not been modified (yet).
Makes a huge difference. No pinch, no distraction

 

Nice find. Congrats. Probably has the chrome lined barrel as well?

 

Indeed it does...verified before the transfer.

I was shocked at how clean this pistol was overall...recoil spring still had almost all of the white paint left on the end, no real carbon hiding in crevices, etc. I suppose its possible it was detail stripped and cleaned, but even the grip screws appear to be completely unmolested in any way. I was $600 out the door with matching case, but missing one magazine (not an issue for me).

It wasn't the BEST deal out there but certainly on the up-and-up, especially considering condition.

 

Congratulations :thumbsu:

 

I’d say that’s a dang good deal. Love mine. No mods needed for me.

Mine has a 21 Sept. 2013 date on the box. Never had a problem with the original trigger, but I changed out to E-2 grips, which fit my medium sized hands better for pointing and control. Enjoy your M11-A1. It's a great defensive handgun.

 

I own a M11A1. It is a great gun. You will be happy with it

 

I bought my M11-A1 used as well and it's my favorite Sig so far:lol:

Congrats on your new pistol and enjoy it!

 

I took the M11-A1 out for a test drive last evening. I am extremely happy with performance. 150 rounds through the M11-A1, no issues. Consistent groups when I did my job, ejected brass all landed in the same spot dreadfully consistently, etc.

I took my Mk25 as a comparison (two DA/SA pistols, designed functionally for military applications, fairly no-frills, same manufacturer) and they felt great side-by-side. Between the two, it is a mixed bag for me. The Mk25 has a somewhat easier DA, but not the SRT, and the SA in the M11-A1 to me is superior, but really only when comparing side-by-side. I felt no real added/subtracted accuracy between the two despite barrel lengths (not surprised here), or any perceived advantage due to sight radius. In other words, I think these are both fantastic and comparable pistols in many ways, though their designs and features lend them to their unique applications, naturally.

I am curious what a real P228 shoots like, so I will have my eyes open for one at a reasonable price/condition to add to the mix down the road a bit.

 

Congratulations on a wonderful Sig. Mine has the same upgrades as Willard's minus the G10's, I've got the E2's.

 

Bought my M11-A1 about five years ago and love it, even bought the 22 conversion kit for it. Last year I got his little brother, the P225-A1. The same holsters work for both. The next purchase will be the 320 X-Compact.

 

What about magazines when you install the 23 conversion kit? It seems that would be an issue?

I picked up a nice 228 slide assy and dropped it on my M11-A1
After trying it out the M11-A1 slide just sits in the safe now.

 

What’s the difference?

I love my M11-A1, great choice. Congrats!

 

You can't go wrong with a M-11!
