Does anyone have any experience with these guns?  Pros/Cons?  

Do they accept standard compact sized 1911 magazines?  Do they require specialized holsters or would a standard 1911 holster work?

I don't have the compact, but I have a GSR.  Standard 1911 magazines work fine.  Standard 1911 holsters do NOT work fine.  I've heard that the Sig 229 holsters work with the compacts but have not tried it myself.


I had some minor trouble with my GSR, and I learned that the Sigarms warranty department isn't in the business of taking care of the customer....as such, I won't recommend any Sig products...especially with a gun as quirky as the GSR series has been

Colt Officer's (or equivalent) mags will work fine in the C3.  It's basically an aluminum Officer's frame and a Commander slide.  

Holsters may or may not work, depending on the holster.  Anything moulded for the Commander will probably not accept the SiG and its blocker slide.
