Yeah, that makes sense now. I was at the range and a guy next to me was shooting a Sig P226. I held my Sig Ultra 1911 next to it and there was a striking similarly between the slides of the two guns.

I had wondered why they made the slide on my Sig 1911 like that, and now I understand. It is most definitely a "Sig Look."

The Ultra ran like a top right out of the box without any break-in period. And that was with some dirty shooting low powered handloads. The slide to frame fit is very tight BTW.

I tried every type of bullet in it, including some 255 grain Keith Style SWCs made for 45 Colt, and it ate them all without complaining. And I tried every kind of mag I had. (Checkmate hybrid, Chip McCormick, Wilson, USGI, etc) Then I loaded a bullet backwards and it fed fine too. So I decided to give the ULTIMATE feed test...



If it will feed an empty case, it will feed ANYTHING!
