S&W 1911 "Pro Series"

[ctkenc]

Hoping one or more of you have one of the Smith & Wesson "Pro Series" 1911 Product #178011 in .45 cal. and can tell me exactly how much it weighs with the empty magazine in.

IDPA Reg's limit allowable weight to 41oz's and that is whatthe S&W web site calls this one.

BUT, some of their models in 1911's are not correctly listed.
I was looking at the Doug Koenig model which their web site says is 41 oz's, the catalog says 41.3 oz's on one page and 41.7 ozs on another page, and when I called Cust. Svc to weigh one for me, it was 41.9 oz's

Please let me know what your "Pro Series, 1911, .45, Product Code 178011 weighs.
thanks

Reply from S&W Executive

I received the following today from Smith & Wesson Executive in charge of Operations, Ken Chandler, in reply to my e-mail to him.
I thought it was very nice of him, to the Point, and answered my question definitively.
The "DK" is OUT, technically, by .167 ozs and the "Pro" is IN ... so now I can proceed.

Ken,

I received your email earlier today regarding weights of Smith & Wesson Firearms. Below is the specific information regarding weights the firearm SKUs 178011 and 108287.

These weights came from pulling the same SKU from inventory and weighing it with an empty magazine.

108287 – 41.1647 oz’s

178011 – 39.3375 oz’s

I will talk to marketing about being more specific on weights in our spec sheets.

If you have any additional questions, let me know,

Thanks,

Ken Chandler
