For 1911 enthusiasts: Colt Commander or S&W E series?
I'm a 1911 guy (and revolver guy). I own a Colt 1991A1, blued government model .45 auto. In my mind it's the classic quintessential 1911.
I'm looking to get a commander model. I've owned a stainless Colt combat commander (steel frame), and it was nice. Like an idiot I sold it at some point. I like the Colts, they seem to work right from the box without any tweaking needed. I'm also interested in the S&W 1911 (either the E series or the Performance Center Commanders with the Scandium alloy frame)
I know the S&W 1911's do the external extractor. I've heard good reviews of their external extractors (needing less maintenance than the classic internal one).
Does anyone have a recommendation on which one I should go with? Pros and Cons of these two? Are the S&W Commanders as reliable as the Colts? It will be a carry pistol.
Thanks.
