That is pretty pricey.

I like my $350 Rock Island Armory, Commander just fine.

Both are $500-600 overpriced for what you get. I shot one of the prototypes at the FFLs in Pitt, before I moved, and both my $1200-1400 Kimbers put them to shame. But then, I’ve done some “extra work” on them both.

The SW1911s are cosmetically flashy, but are just marginal out of the box; takes a long while to sight-in and get used to trigger pull and recoil. The long beavertail is awkward concealed. Standard mag isn’t any good; Wilson Combat Officer 8-rnd mags are the only ones to have and use.

At $900-950, they’d be a far better value for SW1911s.

S&W is trying to climb the ladder into Kimber and Wilson Combat territory. Time will tell.
