It was a good day
I switched ammo on my last stage and overcompensated POA. I'm still a little hesitant to push faster, but good practice and great way to spend our Independence Day.

These with the fdez fat rod and plug give it a good amount of weight feels good! I enjoyed the oem grips but these definitely feel way better in the hand
My 2 favorite pistols are the 1911 and CZ 75. I have owned and competed with both for years. A few years ago when the DWX dropped I was an early adopter. The DWX has been amazing. Great trigger, plenty of weight, very reliable. It’s the easiest shooting 9mm I have handled.
Until today. My GTO came last weekend and I finally got the optic mounted and was able to shoot it today. With 150gr Syntech it is a very, very fast gun. The trigger is not as good as the DWX, bit it is manageable. Fantastic pistol!
Just got them today these with the fdez fat rod and plug give it a nice weight to it! I enjoyed the oem grips but these definitely feel better in the hand
I recently purchased a SIG P211 GTO and have been using Academy Monarch 115 grain ammunition. I’ve fired approximately 300 rounds. However, I’m experiencing a problem with the receiver returning after firing and injecting the round. The receiver doesn’t properly seat forward, and I have to manually push it forward with my thumb to fire the next round. Currently the factory-installed green spring is installed, but I’m seeking any suggestions on how to correct this malfunction.

I find it interesting that the recoil springs provided by Sig at purchase are two different lengths. For those who haven't changed out the 8lb spring, the 10lb spring is about a full inch longer.
Which begs a couple of questions:
- What effect does cutting the 10lb spring down to the 8lb spring length have on the performance?
- If I buy aftermarket springs, say 9lb, should I trim it to the 8lb length, 10lb lenght or split the difference?
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
So one of the major positives absolutely everyone lists are that P320 mags is what the GTO uses and they are so much cheaper and widely available compared to 2011 mags.
I’m not finding that to be true at all. The 23 rd mags are the same price as 2011 mags. $80 each MSRP. Yeah I see them around for $60 each but still by no means is that a sweet deal.
Hopefully 4th of July sales will have them cheaper and I can stock up
I still remember shooting a 2011 type for the first time in 1997, an Open race gun in .38 Super. I've flirted with them many times but have never gone through with it. Last week I ordered this GTO off of the SIg website through ExpertVoice. Got it yesterday. It may be a few days before I can get to the range. Going to have a Holosun 507 Comp and Lok grips on it before too long.
Mr Sauer,
I would like to exchange money for goods and services.
Could I please have the Titanium colored P211 variant please, as per this video where you demonstrated it at a trade convention and implied it would be out 6 months ago
Alternatively I will take a similar color scheme that is or visually resembles stainless steel, because I like it
Thank you for your time Mr Sig. I will put the check in the mail as soon as I have your confirmation
For the P211 GTO guys. I’ve got a chance to trade straight across for my Staccato C 4” model with DLC barrel and alum flat trigger for a new P211 GTO with the Romeo X. MSRP on mine is $2950ish.
I don’t carry it and it’s basically a range toy and HD gun.
I read all the amazing review for the GTO and really want one now.
Since yall have experience with the GTO would you buy one again? Any issues out of the box? Would you make the trade or hell no? Obviously the Staccato guys say F no so wondering what yall will say.
Hey guys,
IPSC shooter here from Australia. I just had some devastating news from one of our largest firearm dealers in the country and the only one to my knowledge so far that WAS planning on importing the SIG GT5 - but apparently they pulled out of the deal because they determined it was a "piece of crap." This kind of sucks because I bought the brass lokgrips for it a month in advance.
My question is for any GT5 owners who use it for duty/competition - how is the gun in terms of performance, quality, durability and shootability. I've seen a review from youtubers like Humblemarksman and I have heard good things so far but maybe there's a catch that I'm not aware of?
I can try to get 1 unit into the country through paperwork but it will take longer and cost a bit more so I want to get more of you guys's thoughts before committing anything.
Side note: The dealer is still planning on importing the GTO but they are waiting for our federal government to give the ok because apparently they have an issue with the barrel and compensator on it in typical silly government style but I really wanted the GT5 for standard or optics division
