SiGARMS GSR Revolution STX arrives early...

[silversport]

I just got my SiG GSR Revolution STX arrived today...I am at work and just got a quick peek but I noticed that some things are different than I had seen in the catalog or others on Forums.

*SiGARMS GSR Revolution STX
*Nitron Slide with flat top and grooves (like the Colt Gold Cup IIRC)
*Dot over flat bar adjustable night sites...
*Solid Trigger
*No "Manhole Cover"
*No "SiGARMS" Custom Shop logo in contrasting stainless on slide
*Burled grip plates that seem a bit fat and one has either an imperfection or *crack...I'll notify SiGARMS about this...
*Hump in the middle of the grip safety...I had never seen one like this before only seeing the "memory groove" type or standard grip safety...it seems kind of loose too...but this may be normal...my custom 1911 has a heavier spring in the grip safety...
*Mags are NOT marked Novak's or ACT Mag and have base pads that appear to be like those on Wilson's...split follower made of blue steel...mags are stainless bodied...
*Scalloped and contrasting polished stainless on the grasping grooves of the rear of the slide.
*nope, will not fit my form fitting (Safariland) holster but may fit a softer or stretchable holster...
*Pics later if I can...this is a nice looking pistol...mine has a neat serial number that echoes my number when I played football and baseball as a kid...just a nice tie in for me...

I changed out the stock "burled maple" grips since their pretty but not so functional for me and my left side grip plate had a crack from apparent overtightening of the grip screw...a call to SiGARMS should fix that...operating the slide is some slick stuff...more when I know it.

I spoke with Ray in Customer Service today and they are sending me out a new pair of burled maple signiture grips and told me they do not put the "pro shop" logo on the pistols any more...hey, my box also had "compac" written on it but there was no explanation for that...curious...I would say my customer service treatment was top notch so far.

Range report?

[Baldy]

Sure does look good. Now all we need to know is how does it shoot. Please keep us updated as I have friend who is very interested in this model and make of pistol. Congrats on your new pistol and good luck with it.

Nice looking Sig! Let us know how it shoots.

I haven't had a chance to get it to the range...I will report back...I will also report (or he can report himself) on my brother's STX...he ended up buying the same pistol...actually...it was my helping him that started me into wanting another 1911...hmmmm

I had an original GSR with the rail--it came with the grip safety like on yours.

I also do have a Colt XSE Commander(very early one) with the same grip safety:
