I don't own one, but I have shot a few of them and they are great shooters.

The S&W Gunsite edition 1911 is a sweet little shooter. I want one of those badly.

If you want more info, go to http://forum.m1911.org/ , best site for anything 1911's. They have sections for just about all the name brands.

I almost bought one myself but ran into my Para first. They are great guns very accurate and very reliable. A lot of the 1911 purists don't like them because they have an external extractor. If you don't mind that then get one they are great!!!!

I have owned one and it was a nice 1911. It shot well and it was not really expensive. I had it for 2 years and shot it in Steel competition, did not jamb or have any other problems.

Thanks for the info. If I can get the wife off to work on time I will head to the gun shop and see what i can do about getting one.

I have one of the first s+w 1911 that they put out, and I love it. Have had zero problems and it basicaly shoots everything down the pipe I feed it.

i have one of their "scandium" (aluminum) 1911s with a 4.25" barrel nice little shooter, really light weight, the weight DOES affect the recoil as it is more noticeable but its still ok. i got the 1911pd with crimson trace grips, i got a REALLY good deal on it, is really the only reason i bought it hope to have pics up soon but cant find my camera

Smitty 1911 is one with external extracter right?
How do they work compared to original internal extracter?

Smith&Wesson has been making the 1911 parts for other companies for a long time so it was a no branier to enter the market.

I will refer you to this thread of mine for more information.

In a nut shell it is made of top of the line parts, it loads empty brass without a hiccup so HP's and anything else you can think of works flawlessly and lastly it is American.

I could do without the white warning on the side. But everything else puts it as my number one carry and compition pistol.
