In the DFW area, the non-Scandium versions seem to be going for around $750-$795.

I paid $660 for the adj. sight model at the Ware Gun shop in Ware Mass.

We have a NIB Smith & Wesson (Sc) or scandium 1911 in our showcase
priced at $759. I checked it out last Saturday; and except for the huge
billboard type logo, it is a very nice weapon. I wouldn't mind having it
myself; but right now I can't afford it.

Ala Dan how is the trigger? The one I felt had about a 6-7 pound trigger and I wonder if it was just that gun or if all of the 1911Sc pistols are like that.

I don't recall the trigger being extremely heavy, as compared to be
standard SW 1911. I will re-check it again tomorrow (12-02) and
post here tomorrow night; PROVIDED that I find it contrary to my
post.

I re-checked the trigger pull on our S&W Scandium 1911 today, and
using an RCBS trigger pull gague it broke cleanly right at 5 lbs. Hope
this helps?

Right on Dan! Thanks for doing that. I just read a magazine article about the 1911Sc and theirs broke right at 5# too. I'd be comfortable with that for a carry gun, but the model I handled earlier felt closer to 7# which is a bit too much for me.
The LE office that issued my permit to me has requested that I keep my carry guns stock so the stock trigger pull is a pretty important issue to me.

Trigger Pull weight
If you're not happy with the trigger, send it in. Mine was part of the early group subject to the recall (though I had no malfunction). I told them the trigger was stiff and a little gritty. It came back with the warranty fix and the trigger with a crisp break right under 4 lbs. S&W paid shipping both ways.
The only thing I don't like about the gun is the trigger shoe/bow itself. It is a low-end product that doesn't fit particularly well. Eventually I'll probably replace it with an STI or a Brownell's Videcki.
