Since my heavy firearms use has been pretty much limited with the Sig P229 .357, this is more like a basic 1911 report
Picked up my Sig TTT, removed the wood grips and put on the more aggressive VZ recon grips before even leaving the store ( thanks Tom at 2A ).
The sights are the single dot night site front site post and the rear is the small horizontal line. No 3 dot configuration. This is fine by me since most of my shooting is point shooting. I have always found the time trying to line the dots up could be time sending ammo down range. Coming up from a lowered position to pressing out, the site is fast on target for me. Almost natural. This is a point of aim impact and not a 6 o clock hold. I.e...what the front sight covers and not what is sitting on top of it, is gonna get the treatment
Being adjustable sight, and being a guy, I had to screw around with it right out of the box for no good reason. The first target I shot was approx 100 rounds. Tinkering at the 7 and 15 dialing the already dialed in sights, in
I had 1 100 round box of Winchester white box 230 ball and 1 100 federal value pack 230 as well. All of the federal fed just fine and I had one fail to feed with the Winchester. The Winchester casings were noticeably thicker and this is what I attest to it getting caught on the throat.
Not being a 1911 freak yet, I think I know what all the fuss is with getting the triggers "done". There is a a little "play" in the trigger, left and right and I would like to get that tightened up. The trigger broke well but there were times I expected it to go off and didn't until I pressed a wee bit more. I think I would like that lightened up as also. All in all, I was able to reset the trigger well and get back on sight pretty quick and accurate with this beauty.
The slow, fat round and the weight of the pistol made this a pleasure to shoot compared to the 229 .357 beating me up all these years.
The center mass shots where 7,15 & 25 yds.
The small top right groups were slow fire attempting two separate groups at 7yds.
The "throat " shots were rapid fire 8 round rhythm drills at 7yds
And the top left group were controlled pairs at 7yds and a few shots at 15.
