Special Features
- The Coyote PVD finish applied to both the stainless steel slide and frame creates a consistent, warm bronze-tone appearance that is corrosion resistant and significantly more durable than standard bluing or parkerizing.
- The Black DLC barrel contrasts sharply against the Coyote frame and slide, a design detail borrowed from Sig's modern pistol aesthetic and carried into the 1911 platform.
- The optic cut slide uses a direct-mount compact footprint compatible with Shield RMSc optics, eliminating the need for adapter plates and keeping the optic seated as low as possible over the bore.
- XRAY3 Day/Night sights deliver a high-visibility tritium front sight surrounded by a bright green ring that works in full daylight and low-light conditions without any activation required.
- LOK Grips G10 panels provide aggressive texture that locks the pistol into the hand during rapid strings of fire, and they are compatible with standard 1911 grip screws for easy replacement.
- The adjustable flatblade trigger allows the shooter to tune overtravel for a cleaner break without gunsmithing.
- The removable magwell and extended ambidextrous safety and slide stop levers come factory-installed, giving the pistol a ready-to-compete configuration without aftermarket modifications.
- The M1913 Picatinny rail on the frame accepts standard weapon lights and laser units.
Practical Benefits
- The full-size 5-inch barrel and 8+1 capacity give you a slight capacity edge over traditional 7-round single-stack 1911s while keeping the familiar single-stack grip profile.
- The factory optic cut lets you mount a red dot sight the same day you take delivery without sending the slide out for milling.
- The combination of XRAY3 sights and a direct-mount optic cut means you can run iron sights, a red dot, or both in co-witness configuration depending on your preferred setup.
- The Picatinny rail makes this pistol a practical fit for home defense and low-light range training where a weapon light is part of the setup.
- Whether you compete on a practical shooting stage or build a modern 1911 collection, the Sig Sauer 1911-X Series (1911XR45CXR3) in .45 ACP gives you a factory-finished platform that is ready to perform without a parts list attached.
