They do have Caspian frames but that alone isn't the hallmark of excellence with a gun. The early GSRs did have issues with their function and finish. A few folks still do get some problems. I'm not saying they're lousy guns. I'm just repeating what I've read on places like pistolsmith.com. Here's one thread.
sig GSR 1911 - Pistolsmith
I'm also aware that anecdotal evidence alone doesn't make a case. I've never shot nor handled one personally myself. I'm sure they're really fine guns. Still, I'd probably favor my Les Baer or an Ed Brown or Nighthawk over a GSR.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
