nice!

There called the Enhanced series and they do not have the scwartz safety like the regular S&W 1911's. The enhanced use a Titanium firing pin and extra power firing pin spring.

WOW! Do want.

That grip is a little too busy for me, but otherwise very nice.

The most recent EOPS list now has a S&W 1911 on it which uses the titanium Firing pin . S&W1911TFP. Who knows if they will ever actually be found in stores

 

[wahsben]

Are these supposed to be better than the performance center models, about the same, taking the place of the PC models or just under them?

The whole gun is too busy for me. Not my style.

 

[Emoto]

It'd be fine in blued steel.

 

[endus]

Awesome lookin to me. Want.

 

[BE4TNUT]

OOhh I like. $1319.00 MSRP on the S&W website.

 

[robmcd]

Here's the one I want.

Wow that is pretty... I think I will have one of these in my safe in the very near future...

 

[FrugalFannie]

very nice.

Is "bobtail" a copyrighted term? I only ask because S&W is referring to it as "Round Butt."

Either way, that gun's sure got a nice heiney!

 

[Maxspeed]

How many units are in a "limited edition' series?

 

[Emoto]

I see nothing on the S&W site about the gun lacking the schwartz type safety. Can anyone point to documentation?

 

[ChargingCharlie]

I hate when people call things "sexy", but damn...that is one sexy pistol!

S&W revolvers used to be available in square butt or round butt (now I believe they are almost all round butt). So I'm guessing they are using "round butt" as it has some history with S&W.

My main issue with this is that a gun isn't "high grade" just because the manufacturer said it is. Nice to see that's where they think they're going, though.

 

[meth0d]

Eh, not feeling it. I don't like fish scale serrations, or tactical rails on 1911's. The smaller one is better, but it's not jumping to the top of my MUST BUY list.

Here's the one I want.

Oh, no. I like this.

Yeah I would like to see them come with a match grade barrel and other upgrades that would truly make it "high grade" and not just different styling. But I can't find any real details on their site right now... the one with the rounded butt pictured earlier though does say it comes with a "precision trigger" and titanium firing pin.

 

[Emoto]

I don't like the two tone thing. Makes me think of spats.

Here's the one I want.

I don't care for the grips, but it is really nice.

Will it ever be available here in MA?

Was talking to my dad about this (I sent him a link drooling over the black bobtail one) and realized that. I wonder if they are different enough models that they would have to get approved separately for MA.

I have to go change my jeans... Dam is she a beauty!

Houlton, ME?

Does anything good come from that plant?

 

[vellnueve]

Houlton, ME?

Um... all of their 1911s and the popular, reliable, and fun 22A series.

Drool...., you earned a spot in my safe. Come to papa...
