Is the new S&W 1911 considered more a ser 70 or ser 80 or something entirely diff't?
Friend saw one on the local dealer's shelf
Why would any company want to enter such a crowded market?
I disagree with this statement. I think the S&W 1911 will probably be pretty successful and be in the product line for some time to come. My guess is there are a lot folks out there who are partial to the S&W brand name who will purchase this pistol. Heck, it might actually introduce the 1911 to many people who might not otherwise have purchased one.I don’t expect this will still be in the product line in 24 months.
Thanks for the info. I realize that the semi-custom houses are pretty good about this sort of thing but I did not recall that Springfield offered a lifetime warranty.The other factory 1911 maker with a lifetime warranty is Springfield Armory. Most of the semi-custom houses have an unofficial lifetime warranty.
