Default Early SW1911

Hey guys.

I looked for the answer, but cannot find it. With the first gen SW1911, up to what serial number were they produced out of the PC? JRD????

Thanks.

Ken

Anybody? I have a lead on an early on and don't want to take a chance on losing it if it is early enough to be PC assembled.

Thanks guys!

Ken

I had that info written down and couldn't fine it. I have finally located it. JRD and JRE models are reported to be the earlier models from the PC and hand made and hand fit. I am looking also. Good luck

I thought the JRD and JRE prefix S/Ns were the early ones where some have said people from the Performance Center were training workers how to put them together. I have a JRE prefix Commander and it is very well put together.



These did come with nice wood double diamond grips. I bought and put on the Carbon fiber ones from Carbon Creations.
