Are these 1911's shunned here? I actually sold my Colt XSE Lightweight Commander model in favor of keeping the Sig 1911 Carry when I needed some funds.

My reasons were as follows:

Side by side, the Colt was out shined by the Sig. Fit, finish, front strap checkering, non-polymer mainspring housing, night sights, all in a cheaper package. (albeit not by much)

The Colt would fetch more money, and held it's value better than the Sig.

The only thing I don't care for in the Sig is the external extractor, but the Sig ran just as good as the Colt as far as reliability, and both had zero issues with any malfunctions.

What are some members thoughts on the Sig Sauer 1911's? Mostly speaking of comparably priced similar models of 1911's.
