New to Smith & Wesson are the E-Series 1911 Pistols – specifically the SW1911SC E-Series. This pistol is a thing of beauty – as it’s MSRP states ($1369.00), but worth every penny!
Typical 1911 specs, plus some serious upgrades: 8+1, wooden grips, Melonite® finish, Oversize Extractor, Combat Ejection Port, S&W Patented Scandium Frame, Round Butt Frame, Tritium Night Sights, Titanium Firing Pin, Precis Trigger, and a Recessed Muzzle. All weighing in at a hair under 30 oz. makes this a very nice handgun!
I really like the “fish scales” on the slide – much like the M&P pistols. These give the shooter a much better grip when manipulating the slide, and doesn’t tend to eat the fingers as much. Front checkering of course adds a much better grip, along with the fish scales on the wooden grips. The rounded butt also makes it easier to conceal.
There are a few other new “E-Series” 1911’s from Smith & Wesson, but this one jumped out at me.
