Frequently Asked Questions
Sig Sauer Nightmare 1911 for sale
Are Sig Sauer 1911 any good?
Sig Sauer 1911s are well-regarded for fit, finish, and reliability. Most shoot accurately out of the box, though some owners upgrade triggers. Prices typically range from $900 to $1,400 depending on the model. They work well for carry, home defense, and range shooting.
How much is the Sig Sauer 1911 Fastback Nightmare Carry?
Sig Sauer's 1911 Fastback Nightmare Carry can be found as low as $664.49 on sale, with some retailers listing it around $949.99. Historical average new prices run roughly $1,211.63. Three variants are available across nine retailers, with two currently in stock.
Is it practical to conceal carry a 1911?
Yes, 1911s work for concealed carry. The single-stack magazine keeps them relatively slim, but they're heavy and require a sturdy belt and holster. Many people carry them successfully, though the weight becomes noticeable over a full day. Lighter polymer pistols are easier to carry long-term.
What are the drawbacks of a 1911 .45 ACP?
Main drawbacks: limited magazine capacity (typically 7-10 rounds), heavier than modern polymer pistols, and the manual safety requires training to use reliably. Maintenance is more involved than striker-fired designs. Not ideal for those prioritizing high capacity or lightweight carry.
