It was a true 4.25" barrel length with bushing and the standard recoil spring guide (I'm not a fan of the full-length guide rods), it had an external extractor, Series 80-style firing pin safety, and stainless steel construction. IIRC, the street price was around $1000. It was nearly everything I could want in a carry 1911. Unfortunately, I believe it's been discontinued.
I'll also admit I've fantasized about having one built from scratch using Caspian Arms components.

The Sig line of 1911s is one of the weird ones to me. I too like the Sig line of 1911s and I do like the external extractor on a 1911 like the Sigs and S&Ws. However I have yet to get a Sig 1911 mainly because of one reason that Ive visually seen with some of the model Sig pistols especially in there smaller carry size 1911s . The Sigs seem to be the one of the most unique compared to the other traditional 1911 models out there. A lot of the Sig 1911s look to have wider slides and weird widths in the frame that cause them to not take as many traditional 1911 accessories and parts. They seem to be well designed and functional but they also seem to be more unique to just Sig only.
