Sig Ultra Feed Test
This Sign Ultra just keeps amazing me. It feeds everything from every kind of mag without complaint.
I was reluctant to get a compact because I read about all the feeding complaints with Officer frames. I finally decided to give it the ultimate test...

Finally got the video to work. I had to change "https" to "http"
So...What am I missing here? Ultra compact 1911's are supposed to be fussy about ammo...right? This just surprised me that the one 1911 that should be the most picky about ammo and mags is the least picky. My DW Panther, with most ammo is 100%, but it won't feed SWCs. My Colt Series 80 is the most picky, but it will feed SWCs.

I have a Sig BUG in 380 and I don't remember ever having a problem with it, firing both RN and Hornady Critical Defense rounds.

Just a quick reply about magazines (often refered to as "clips" by the unknowing) for the Sig Ultra. I did some research and learned that the mags provided by Sig were made by Checkmate. I researched the patent number on the follower and verified they were made by CM. I purchased a spare mag from KIMBER, and subsequently learned it to was made by CM. I ordered more mags directly from CM. They all work flawlessly. The only difference is is the markings on the base plates (bare=SIG, Kimber and Checkmate). Oh, the new CMs have a black follower.
The SIG ULTRA uses the Wadcutter style mags (parallel feed lips).

The CM mags that came with the Ultra do indeed have parallel feed lips, but a shiny steel follower.
The mag in the video, however, is a 8 round CM that came with my Sig Fastback. Hybrid feed lips, black follower. It works better in the Ultra than it does in the Fastback... Also tested: Colt Officer Stainless (fairly old with orange follower) Colt Govt Stainless 8 round (CM non-dimpled, Parallel Feed Lips) Wilson Combat 8 round Chip McCormick Shooting Star 8 round USGI 7 round Chip McCormick Power Mag 10
