S&W 1911PD - still have the billboard markings?

[Mass-diver]

You can only see one side of the pistol on the S&W website; does anyone know if the commander sized (4.25" barrel) 1911PD (Sc) still has the HUGE billboard markings on the slide? I had heard S&W was going to stop this slide design.

I saw the 5" model the other day and it was clean. I'm trying to decide between the two, and the billboard crap could be the deal breaker. Thanks!

no billboards for several years now.

Cool. Thanks. I guess S&W must have listened to customer feedback on that one.

My SW1911 has the billboard. Who knows? Could be a collector's item. Yeah, right ...
