I have neither shot nor even actually had the pleasure of handling a PC 1911. But I have had lots of rounds through four different 945's including the one that I'm lucky to own.

Probably should define which PC-1911 you're talking about...
The earliest S&W PC 1911 pistols? Or these ones they offer today? They are two different animals.

Part of what I absolutely love about my 945 is that it's exclusive. Only Smith & Wesson made these pistols, and only the Performance Center. There must 35 different outfits spitting out piles and piles of 1911 pistols. 1911's are fantastic and popular for a host of reasons, and I'm not bagging on them because they are phenomenal handguns.

Exclusivity? Few handguns have less exclusivity than a 1911. But a PC-945, now that's something rare and special. Take your -945- to the range and you'll be the ONLY guy shredding the bullseye with a 945.

I love mine and would be thrilled to add another.
