Seeking a SW1911 Engraved Model

[C5GUY]

If you are still interested, there is one on GB

Watching this gun now Bob. Still 7 days out with no "buy it now" option. Hoping I will be the successful bidder but it already has had 18 bids. I will keep all posted.
Thanks!

I was thinking of getting into this bidding war, but my pockets are not nearly deep enough

So, I will have to settle for the more plebeian 1911s

Looks like you have one sweet collection of SW 1911's already.

Here is my collection of S&W 1911's. Sure hoping to ad the engraved model to this group.

If you get that 100 yr model, your collection will surpass mine in the "purdy" factor immediately

BTW, is that 2 tone in the back right a 1911SC? If so, how do you like it and how does it feel/shoot versus your new non railed e series?

Yep if I get the 100yr model it will make my old gun safe look sharp. Hell, it might even make it smell better!! You have sharp eyes the one in the back is indeed the 1911SC. I like the way it fits my hand but naturally it does not shoot as well as the 5" 1911's being a 4.25

What about the 2 tone in the back right. Is that a scandium frame 5"?

Yes and no, it has a scandium frame but is a Doug Koenig limited edition 1911.

I really like the looks of the engraved model as well. I called Smith to see if I could send my gun in to have it done like the new engraved ones, but they said that they only do that to new ones. Very disappointing.

There are a ton of places that engrave guns. This gun was machine engraved and that process is a lot less expensive than hand engraved. Do a search on Google and you might be surprised at how cheap you can have this done.

Gun has 2 days and 11 hours left on the auction and is now up to $708.00

I guess I'm just old fashioned. There's just seems to be something wrong with S&W having a 100th. anniversary of the 1911. I like my .44 Magnums to have the S&W meatball... I want my 1911s to have a pony.

Only 7 hours left and sitting at $713.......how long all y'all gonna hang out there and give me false hope I can actually afford this thing?

 

[C5GUY]

Well I missed it by $10.00. My last bid was for $950 but every time I bid it instantly was outbid. I think the high bidder used a snipe program and after I found out that I was instantly outbid I gave up. Going to find me one of these dudes, but this was not the one.

I was lurking and saw it start to rise up and then got pulled away to do something else. With GB, he must have had a higher max bid in so the autobid feature was kicking in.

Sorry you lost it.

 

[C5GUY]

Just found another one on GB, working with the guy now to see if I can score it.

 

[WisconsinKen]

Good luck!!

I just picked this up yesterday for $575. Colt Combat Commander 45 SS, 70 series, used, but appears to have been never fired, finish is 100% perfect. Been lurking for a Commander for some time. This a internet picture, however.

$575? Dang!! I vote for this for deal of the week!

OK, finally scored one NIB with the wooden display case. It will ship to my FFL tomorrow morning. Should have it no later than Thursday.
