The SIG Sauer 1911 XO delivers precision engineering in a classic platform enhanced with modern optics capability. This full-size 45 ACP pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with contemporary features that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The optics-ready slide eliminates the need for expensive custom machining, accepting popular red dot sights directly from the factory. Unlike standard 1911s that require gunsmith modifications for optics mounting, this pistol ships ready for modern sighting systems. The enhanced trigger system provides a crisp 4.5-pound break with minimal overtravel, surpassing typical production 1911 triggers that often require aftermarket upgrades.

Range performance centers on the match-grade barrel that consistently delivers sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition.
