I'll be getting a new 1911 in the new year as a stablemate to my Colt CCO. I think I've got it down to either an S&W or a Sig. I get the vibe that S&W might have the edge over the SIG for reliablity. The Sigs are certainly sexier IMO, plus they get bigtime bonus points for having a CCO model (Commander slide on an Officers frame) but that's not the heaviest weighted deciding factor. This will be a CCW, so reliability trumps all other factors. Price is not an issue here.
So, here's my questions for SIG and S&W owners, if you'd be so kind:
Which one would most likely be 100% reliable (say after a well lubed 1K break in)?
Who has better customer service?
Which one has better 1911 standards compatibility, for parts replacement after the warranty is up or for modifications (ie. sights, grips, etc).
How do you like the trigger and the subjective "feel" of the weapon?
And just for fun, let's do an informal poll of your opinion: Which gun should I buy.
For your reference:
The Sigs:
Revolution C3 (SS/Alloy CCO)
Revolution RCS Nitron (Steel CCO)
Revolution Compact Stainless (SS CCO)
Revolution Carry Stainless (SS Commander)
The S&Ws:
1911PD Commander (Steel/Alloy Commander)
1911 Commander (SS/Alloy Commander)
Thanks!
