I subsequently purchased a .357 Sig X-Change kit for it, and now it is almost always dressed in .357 Sig. I also purchased an OEM 9x19 threaded bbl, an OEM .40 S&W bbl, and Hogue checkered cocobolo grips for it.
When I CC it, it wears OEM magazines (15 + 1 when dressed as 9x19 Luger, as original; or 12 + 1 when dressed as .357 Sig or .40 S&W). When serving as HD, it wears Mec-Gar + 2 magazines (17 + 1 as 9x19; or 14 + 1 as .357 or .40).
It might be just what you're looking for. See attached pics.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea there were so many options available for the M11A1. I enjoy mine and it would rank high on the list of "If I only could keep one pistol". I bought it because a guy in an unnamed agency had his department switch from Sig to Glock and he gave me a bag of 15 round magazines. So, them not fitting in a P226 I owned, I needed a gun to put them in correct?
I did swap out the stock M11A1 trigger in favor of a P226 trigger which I personally find a lot more comfortable.
