If it were I, I would get a 9mm Range officer and some metalform 9mm magazines.

Eh, I already have RIA 9mm that I have used for years (with zero issues). This one is just more refined and stainless. I also like the undercut trigger guard, mag well, and checkering.
If I didn't already have a blued/parkerized version, I would go with the RO. It seems to be a great value for the money. |

I just asked about this gun a few weeks back. Do a search, I had some good answers.
I'll be picking one up in the next 3-4 months. The RO doesn't compare at all. The Smith Pro is just damn nice. |

Anyone have experience with this gun? Accuracy? Reliability? Quirks? I am considering one for games and range time. It seems like a good product (but pricey). I only know of one person who has one so I am hoping to get a little more input. I had one for a period of time. The fit, finish, and function was on par with any upper end 1911 and better than most. Very accurate and smooth. The pistol was very nice. I would recommend one without hesitation. JD |

I've got one and despite some pains with the hybrid safety system (cross between a Swartz and Series 80), I am now pretty happy with it.
Here's a couple of links to my experience: http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=458066 http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=460163 |

I imagine you either removed it from the slide or put in a 70 series fp. |

I wonder if Smith will ever make a less expensive 9mm E version 1911.

I've got an S&W E-Series 1911 I bought on sale for $689. Love that gun.

Schwarz safety and external extractor--two features I hate on 1911s and two features S&W insists on putting on their guns.
