SIG Sauer 1911 C3 .45 ACP Two-Tone Compact 4.25 in Match-Grade Barrel Semi-Auto Pistol
This discontinued SIG Sauer 1911 C3 blends a Commander-length stainless slide with a lightweight Officer-length alloy frame, creating a carry-friendly CCO configuration that tips the scales at just 29.5 oz unloaded. A two-tone finish, match-grade 4.25 in stainless barrel, and slim rosewood grips give it both visual appeal and practical performance. External extractor reliability, 25 lpi front-strap checkering, and a skeletonized trigger and hammer round out a feature set that stands apart from standard 1911 patterns.

The C3’s alloy frame wears a black hard-anodized finish that contrasts sharply with the matte stainless slide, giving the pistol a distinctive two-tone look while helping reduce carry weight.
A match-grade stainless barrel and tightly fitted bushing work with the skeletonized aluminum trigger to deliver crisp, repeatable accuracy. The trigger features an adjustable over-travel stop so the shooter can fine-tune their break.
Operational controls follow the 1911 tradition with a beavertail grip safety and extended thumb safety, while SIG’s external extractor offers consistent ejection across a wide range of ammunition.
Low-profile three-dot contrast sights sit flush to the slide for a snag-free draw, and 25 lpi checkering on both the front strap and mainspring housing enhances grip retention under recoil.
Slim rosewood panels reduce overall width for easier concealment without sacrificing purchase, making this compact .45 ACP well-suited to both carry and range roles.
