Looking for any reviews of the S&W "E" Series preferably the 5 inch gun. Has anybody actually got one yet?
 
I have the "E" Sc model. My second Smith 1911. It is beautiful, and shoots great. I found the recoil spring to be a stiffer than most 1911's I have shot but then again she is not broken in yet. I have put 100 rounds through the gun since I bought it on Tuesday. I take it out for another spin tomorrow morning. I really like the night sights.
 
Yes, the E-series does away with the internal firing pin safety system(Scwartz Safety). This system is replaced with a Titanium firing pin and extra strength firing pin spring.The E-series guns external extractor is larger then the regualrs guns. The E series also seem to have a better fit and finish.
 
Did you buy one?

Unfortunately the rental center at Smith says they aren't renting this model, so hopefully some day I can catch somebody at a range if they'd let me fire off a few rounds.










can catch someone at the range with one.
 
What's the durability of scandium guns like? I want that black bobtail one but I want it to SHOOT not just to look at and carry.

It almost kinda sucks that it's light too...i'd like a heavier version of the same gun....but the black bobtail is just too sexy to pass up. Yes, I am going for looks over function on this one. lol
 
I used to carry an aluminum Kimber Compact. Now I carry a steel fullsize. Just use a good holster.
