Re: Sig Max 1911
Max Michel is competing with it right now, and hes doing extremely well.
I just dont like 40 in single stack, STI 2011 would be better for double stack 40 S&W

Re: Sig Max 1911
40 is the dominant choice in USPSA single stack. Cheaper than the 45 and most feel the recoil is preferable than the 45.
They can be a bitch to make reliable, trust me, I know!

Re: Sig Max 1911
Not really. For example Triip sells 7-10 rd mags for 45, and 9 or 10 rd mags for 40. The gun is pretty much marketed for USPSA single stack which is limited to 8 rounds for major power factor, which the 40 and 45 can both make.

I am not sure where you got this information from, the top shooters Rob Leatham and Dave Sevigny , both use 45 ACP

Nils Jonasson runs 40 in his single stack and he won nationals this year. I shoot at the same club that Rob and Nils shoot at and I'd say over half the single stack guys are running 40.

Ramrod beat me to it. You see, 40 is cheaper to shoot than 45. Also a lot of people don't shoot single stack year round - a lot of them shoot single stack until the Single Stack Nationals then they switch back to a limited gun, and they run the same 40 load (loaded long) in both guns.
In fact if you can find a copy of the Front Sight coverage of SSN back from 2009 they talk about why the majority of shooters were using a 40
But, you're probably not even a ( classified ) USPSA member.

Re: Sig Max 1911
Everyone I know that shoots sigle stack shoots a 40, not only is it more economical but is it very handy to use only one cartridge for limited/limited 10 and singles stack. All of the major players in USPSA use 40 for single stack and a few even use 9mm. It is apparent that AznDragon533 has his head firmly up his ass.

I was wrong about Leatham , he uses .45 for the majority of his championships, until 2006.
Still doesnt change the fact. Page 48
Popular Equipment
By far the most popular cartridge at
the match was .45 ACP. Out of 238
shooters, 199 shot .45, and 96 percent
of those used a 230-grain bullet. The
.40 S&W was a distant second with 26
shooters, the most popular bullet
weight being 180 grains. Six people
shot 9mm Parabellum, five used .38
Super, and two hardy individualists
shot 9x23.
And also someone could just reply and tell me everyone they know shoots 40 and then proceed to call me a retard.

something tells me its not going to change much, I could spend hours trying to find the stats from USPSA...but not going to.
I am wrong. Lets just move on. and get back on the subject?
Max said the handgun could be shipping by next month, hes finalizing all the parts.

Re: Sig Max 1911
God I don't know how I missed this gem.
.40 is definitely not a popular choice for USPSA Single Stack, even if it is out there. .40 definitely dominates the Limited Division, but Single Stack is definitely mostly .45s.
And whoever said .40 single stacks are notoriously finicky, you are right. They definitely are.

Re: Sig Max 1911
Hmm...
"As for .40 vs. .45, this is something hard to get across: the top shooters don't shoot .40 instead of .45 because there is some big advantage. They shoot it because they (usually) have a much bigger supply of .40 than .45. If you shoot mostly Limited, you're going to have buckets of .40 on hand. (Or one hopes so, in these ammo-tight times.) It's just more convenient to use that than invest in another caliber" - Front Sight coverage of the 2009 SSN

40 single stacks definitely have to be fine tuned more than 45. However as far as popular choice in USPSA SS? If it wasn't the popular choice i don't think Sig would be making their dedicated single stack model only in 40.
