How about the Sig Sauer 1911 C3 shown here in .45ACP? Would it make a good concealed carry gun? For starters, what does the “C3” stand for? Well, that is a good clue as to what this gun is designed for. The “C3” stands for… Concealed Carry Compact. So then as the name states is it really a very good compact pistol for concealed carry? While the C3 has been around a few years, Sig Sauer has made some improvements and I

was anxious to put it through its paces to test and evaluate it. I have several Sigs and they have all proven to be very reliable, accurate, and of quality workmanship. The C3 has a commander-length slide and barrel with a shortened officer’s-size grip. So you get the long sight radius to help with accuracy with the shorter and more concealable grip. This design has worked for several manufacturers and so I wanted to see for myself how the Sig Sauer version worked for me. I have reviewed several carry guns in depth in the past few months, several on this website. I evaluate my Top 21 concealed carry guns in the 2016 second printing of my book “Concealed Carry & Handgun Essentials.” Now I want to analyze, rank, and compare this Sig Sauer C3 in .45 ACP to some of my top carry guns for my recommendation or not in this article. While I favor the 9mm for concealed carry, I do have a .45 in my carry rotation and some readers and students have asked me to evaluate a 1911 Compact in .45 with the combined commander and officer features for carry purposes. I believe shot placement and accuracy, rather than caliber, are of prime importance for any personal protection gun The Sig Sauer C3 seems to be a quality-made and obvious choice, so I want to give my criteria and range test results for it to help you analyze your handguns and make the best selection for yourself. You can add or subtract from my criteria to meet your needs and preferences. I was very anxious to shoot the C3 and to compare it factor by factor to my other quality carry guns to see if it truly ranked in my top concealed carry pistols. Sig Sauer was nice enough to loan me a C3 for testing and evaluation purposes and even provide me some .45 ACP ammo. I appreciate that. But, know that I am not on their payroll, have not been paid by them for this article, nor influenced to say certain things about the gun and ammo. I want to be honest and straight-forward with my opinions and ideas the way I see the pistol to sincerely help folks. Usually I do not agree to review a gun if I do not have some basic information that it is a very good gun to even consider.
