I've read previous threads, mostly ten years old, where the prevailing opinion was that they're among the best production 1911's. Still true?
I noticed some are marked Springfield and others are marked Houlton, ME. It looks like only the SW1911 Pro Series in 9mm with the adjustable rear sight is marked Maine. Just curious to know more.
I wouldn't describe myself as a 1911-guy, but it's one of those firearms that "everyone should own at least one," right? I'm probably more attracted to a Colt Series 70 or maybe one second-hand from the CMP, but I'd like to know more about what S&W is producing.
