Sig m11-a1

Have an opportunity to purchase a SIG 9mm M11-A1 in FDE for $850 NIB.

What do you guys think of the price and any feedback on the reliability and functionality of the gun. Its really a P228 with a make-over.

Should I get it?

I owned a 228 back when I was a private in the army, and had more money than sense. I liked it. Only reason I sold it was money got tight and I could get more for it than I could for my G23. I've looked at the M11a1s and around here the go for just north of 1g. I think I paid 700 bucks for my 228 back in 97. I'd own one if I could convince the better half I needed it.
Did you buy it yet ? get off the forum and go and get it and please post pics.

From what I've seen on Gunbroker, that price isn't too bad. If you like it, go get it.
Get it end of story
Nice guns ..They call it that as its the same gun the Air force or the such carried ..I think it has a different hardy coating

Only downside is most dont have a SRT on them
I love mines, it's a good gun and I would put off getting it, it's a soft shooter and I think that you will love it.
Serious talk... if you don't buy it please send me a PM with the contact info for the person with the gun.
First off, that's a pretty good price for an FDE as they tend to sell for a bit of a premium. Second, it's actually a P229 in every way except the roll mark and grip logos. The 228's had a folded steel slide, while the M11 and the rest of the 229 line run the forged stainless slide. Third, it's a top rate pistol with all the reliability, accuracy, and shootability you could ever want. The M11-A1 is a top end Sig, with maybe the Legion having a few more features, but a much higher price tag to match.

As far as I know, all the M11-A1's have the SRT. The MK25 P226 does not though.

Yes, according to the specs, the M11-A1 has both "Short Reset Trigger" and "Short Reach Trigger." Its a compact design so will be carrying it since I favor DA/SA in carry guns. (I do enjoy carrying the Walther PPQ .45 in striker-fired, also.)

I have owned two of them in the past. They are nice guns. I don't shoot them any better than I do sub 4" guns, though. So, the HK P2000 and USPc and many other similar sized guns all shoot the same for me. Fine at 7 yards. I need the longer sight radius of a 5" gun to shoot at 15 yards and beyond decently, though.

But, the grip isn't my favorite, personally. I old my last one and bought another Beretta with the money - which is my preference, in grip feel.

But the guns were always 100%. So if you like the feel of the gun, you won't regret it I think...

I carry mine every day all day and love the gun. I installed the E2 grips and it is a perfect carry gun for me.
