Well, let's wait to see his reasons before judging him.
It's supposed to be modeled off the same 1911 that American troops used in WWII. Is it any good? Because it's only $500!!!!
And who does make the bare frame and slide stuff you mentioned for Kimber???
Because he get's a better price/more profit on the Kimber and has more in stock to choose from. S&W doesn't offer much variation.Can anyone tell me why he doesn't recommend the SW1911???
You can get a Kimber Classic in our store for 650.00 The last SW1911 we
sold for 775.00.
The Kimber has a match grade barrel and a fitted bushing, The SW1911 does
not. The SW1911 also uses a Smith style extractor that in the past has
been the weak link in their autos since the overall length lets it act as
a spring ,providing excellant tension but it stresses the part and if you
shoot a lot it is prone to breakage. The accuracy is adaquate but not in
the league of the Kimbers and STI handguns. The smith is not a bad gun its
just for the money there are better ones. I am not a Smith hater as I
carry a Smith I just feel that they are overpricing their product to
create the impression that it can compete in a class it is really not
suited to be in.
