My new SW1911PD(picts) .

[Eleckster]

Well I have been addicted to 1911’s this winter. I have been working on a low budget build and I have added a few couple of lower budget pistols to my collection. I have been doing a lot of research and fondling 1911’s at gun shows. I have been planning getting a higher end pistol to stick in my belt. Well today this is what I brought home. I have not been to the range with it yet. It is very lightweight, tight fitting, and well made. Had to share :)

I got mine to the range for the first time this past Saturday. You're going to love it.

Very, very nice. Please let us know how you like those laser grips....

Well I made it to the range last night and ran a couple hundred rounds through my new pistol. All I fired was WWB 230grain but, I had no problems. The gun is very accurate.

I was a little concerned that the laser was a waste of money. I thought that maybe I wanted the laser more as a toy than a tool. Well the laser is a neat way of targeting. It makes it obvious how steady you hold the pistol. It lets you know if you pull/flinch when you fire. I did adjust it, but ended up setting it back about the way it started. It is low however at 50 yards…LOL:) If you have not tried a laser before I would suggest that you try one. All in all, the laser is very cool.

I have some leather on order so soon I will be able to bring the S&W with me. I am looking into .45 caliber loads to see what I want to carry. I am a fan a Golden Sabers I will have to get some on order and see how the gun likes them.

I am very happy with my new purchase…very!!! :D :D :D :D :D

That's a very nice set up on the 1911 PD. I have an early 1911Sc that I'm partial to. If you sell that knife you can probably buy another 1911. I don't think they give blades like that one away.
Best Regards,

Very nice!
The Crimson Trace grips are great! The laser will be set for 25 yards, so yes, you will be a little low at 50 yards.

Eleckster, very nice shooter. Good luck with it. What do you think of the laser grips? Also, how do you like your Sebenza?

Out.

[Eleckster]

The laser is great. I recommend people try one out.

It looks like Gotti817 and ADP3 are into knives also. The Sebenza is a great knife, however I do not carry it very much. I am afraid of loosing a spendy knife. I almost always carry a Kershaw Leek.

Kind of cool how alot of us have similar interests. FWIW, my favorite light is the Inova T series and the sport utility is far from stock.

It really is amazing how well guns and knives go together, especially really good knives and guns. I'd love to have a Sebenza. However, I'd also be terrified that I'd lose it so I'll just stick to my Ox Enterprise and MOD automatics. My favorite light is my Surefire E2D Defender. I carry it everyday. I also like their Z series combat lights. Very bright, indeed. I haven't had an Inova, yet. Guess I'll have to get one now to keep up with the Jones'.LOL

I really want the Smith PC .45 with the black finish. I'd like to add it to my extensive collection of 1911's. Have you ever fired one?

Thanks.

Out.

Nice shooter, Eleckster. :)

I just brought home a 1911PD myself. It's a nice reliable shooter although it does send a lot of brass into my forehead so I've got to fix that.

Nice Smith and nice Sebenza as well. I carry a Kershaw also but I opted for the Storm II. The Ultra Carry and Storm go everywhere with me.

Nope, never fired one or seen one, but I sure would like to. Hopefully the S&W 1911’s will start catching on and there will be more at shows and dealers around here.


Nice shooter, Eleckster. :)

What kind of knife in the picture? It sure is polished.

Nice looking PD. Too bad about the brass in forehead. I have had that problem with a couple of guns myself. Will have to add that to the small list of S&W’s negatives. You have had it home long enough to add some grips. Let us know if you fix the brass in forehead or if you just wear a hat.

Yes, in fact I was just shooting it Sunday. It's an exceptionally nice pistol. It rates right up there with Wilson, Baers and Springfield Custom Shop guns. The trigger, coupled with the lightweight Koenig hammer, is simply fabulous.

Thank you. The knife is a custom made by David Dempsey.

I'm going to start with shortening the length of the ejector to solve the problem, but the first time I shot it I had to stop and go get a hat. :)

Thanks for the info, Eleckster.

I've had my SW1911PD with a 4.25 barrel for about three months now. About 1000 rounds through it and it is a good shooter and fairly accurate. One thing though is that it has quite a bit of muzzle flip. The recoil is not bad but the front end does pop with standard 230 gr. ball ammo. But I do like the looks of it. Will post some picture as soon as I get the new grips.

Boy I sure would like to have one of those. If I use a Discover card I will get paid to get one:)

I have not noticed a lot of muzzle flip, maybe if I were a better shooter. The gun is much more accurate than I am. I will have to shoot a full size and the 4.25” in the same range trip.

Don’t forget a pict.

Very funny. Love it. :D
