Sig STX

SimonRL said:
Sig uses grease on all their metal guns. I won’t start a debate on which grease is best or grease vs oil. I use TW25B on my 226 Legion. A lot of the Sig wonks recommend it.

yes.........., let's not ANYONE get into the great lube wars debate..... :LOL:

i simply pointed out that the literature included with my Sig, said that THEY recommend something called, "SPEC 1" synthetic grease. and has anyone with a Sig, used it...??

www.sigsauer.com

SPEC1 - 15CC PREMIUM BLEND, LIGHT FIREARM GREASE

Premium blend non-toxic / non-hazardous synthetic grease
www.sigsauer.com www.sigsauer.com

to me, and from ALL the owner's manuals i have read, and that's like now 13 of them...??

"grease" is NEVER mentioned as a lube for thier 1911.

just "oil", then sometimes a specific brand, many times, for instance, on 2 of my Colts (1- 1911 and 1 revolver) i got a sample foil pack of a synthetic oil with the gun. with my Korth revolver, i got a free sample bottle of Gibbs oil.

i think many times, these lube companies "give" samples away to the gun makers for marketing purposes.

since switched over to FP 10 recently, on all my guns, this Sig, will too be fed FP 10 at it's first cleaning, next week.
 
Personally I don't use any grease on my 1911's or any guns, I know on a Glock they have that bronze paste which your supposed to leave on for a break in period, but it usually gets cleaned off, I just use my Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil for all my lubrication needs, no grease, but this is just me.

that's "funny" in the rhetorical way...my G-17, G-30, G-21 and G-44, all had that bronze "grease", and yes, i cleaned them all when i got them home and used my lube, which then was Hoppe's 9

what is "funny" is that my buddy bought a G-19, i was there when he picked it out.

the salesman pulled back the slide, checked it for "clear" and handed it over to my buddy, who then did the same....

ok,,,,and so..??

well...you'd have thought you were in a school classroom, and the teacher was digging her nails into the blackboard....

what a horrific SCREEEEECH........

after his 8 day waiting period, he took it to my house so i could show him how to field strip it..

DRY as a BONE......NO bronze "lube".......

well.........looks like it'll have to be on my "when i hit the lottery" wish list.....

Congrats on the new gun and good work on the first trip to the range. I don't know about that Colt Comp but I do know you want that Garrison to come home ;) . Really nice looking Sig and I like the dirty blonde grips
 
yeah, i just minutes ago, at like 5:55 AM, did a search on Sig's, come to find out, they are all Series 80, with that "drop safety" thingamajiggy, next to the disconnector....

the only 1 other 1911 that i had, that had that..??

was my first 1911, and that was the Remington R 1911.....(i sold that to my buddy, that really wanted it)

kinda a PITA as i turn my 1911's upside down when reassembling to line up the barrel lug to the frame slide stop holes.

i didn't like the series 80 1911's all that much........

i may have to sell this STX now............:(...:cry:

















LIKE HELL................it's a Sig........!!!!!!!!

I CAN ADAPT...............:giggle:

I can deal with that safety on reassembling it, I hate the Schwartz safety on Kimber’s, took me awhile to learn not to grip the gun using the grip safety….. now that one is a PITA situation

my Kimber is the very first gun for me too with the "may the Schwartz be with you" safety.

and i too, have to remember to do the same.

otherwise,

well....i haven't experienced an "otherwise" yet with the Kimber....

Why bother? I can meet face-to-face and it’s a long weekend and I’m up for a drive. I’ll give you what you paid for it - minus my gas money - and throw in a practically new Series 70 Tisas that will go blow for blow with the Sig. I’ll bring one of my targets as ID.
