Key Tactical Features

Sights, Controls, and Handling

Adjustable combat night sights provide low-light aiming capability. The frame includes a beavertail grip safety with a speed bump, an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, and a Magwell for fast, smooth reloads. Both frame and slide are de-horned for comfortable carry and feature aggressive checkering—25 lines per inch on the front strap and 20 on the mainspring housing—for secure purchase under stress.

Internals and Durability

Internally the pistol uses match-grade components: barrel, hammer, sear set, and trigger, plus a firing pin safety and hammer intercept notch for redundant safety. The machining and hand-fitting from the SIG SAUER Custom Shop elevates reliability for service or defensive roles.

Caliber and Capacity

This STX configuration lists .45 ACP as the chambering with an 8-round magazine capacity—well-suited for proven stopping power and controllable recoil in full-size form. For shooters prioritizing heavy-hitting duty calibers, the .45 ACP option balances terminal performance with familiar 1911 ergonomics.

At a price of $1,148.99, the SIG SAUER 1911 STX FULL-SIZE offers a premium 1911 experience with modern enhancements. View product details and pricing to check current availability and specifications on the shop page.
