Smith and Wesson Pro Series 1911
Scandium alloy
4.5-5 pound trigger
8+1 9mm
Butter smooth action
3" group at 20 yards (I'm not a "professional")
Super grippy grip (lol)
Cons;
Minor fit and finish issues- slide contacts the top of the hammer when cycling
Doesn't seem to be wearing properly
You'd think good quality holsters would be plentiful but they're not really
On the to-do list;
Send it to S&W for a dehorning/feed ramp polish, trigger work and suss out the hammer fitment and wear issues.
Score; 9/10
Pros;
If you squeeze the hell out of this gun when shooting, it's one of the softest shooters I have ever used. It's heavier than a Shield but it carries just as good. Nice and firm safety and mag release, very positive action. Depending on how S&W treats me when I send it in (will be the first ever gun I've sent in to a manufacturer, for anything), if all goes according to plan, I'd have a very, very hard time figuring out why I couldn't give this gun a 10/10. It shoots better than my shield & I love shooting my shield. The shield is a great gun. I have to give the shield an 8.5/10. Not much I can figure you can do to improve upon other than minor trigger work & sights. Does the SW1911 blow it out of the water, no, hard to do that. But it is a better gun in every way except weight.
Targets; Black and Red target is the first mag out of the gun at 7yds
Next target; red and green circle are 15 & 20 yards, blue is 25 yards one handed.
