E-Series Commanders ... Avialability

[ctkenc]

FOUND

Anyone know why the "Commander" sized E-Series and apparently "phantoms" in the Market ... nobody seems to have them and even the S&W Store in Springfield, mass. does not have them ?
Is it because they are that good that they are that popular, or, is there some negative that is keeping them off the market.
They sure look good and everything I read about them here is positive but I cannot find one anywhere.
Ken ... in Connecticut (a short drive from S&W)

I talked with S&W customer service last week about the availability of a Pro Series pistol I've had on backorder since last September.

They told me the Maine plant had been very busy working on 2 large law enforcement orders. Those orders were nearing completion and some of the pistols that have been given little to no production time would start getting attention.

I've had one on order for 10 months.

I have only seen 1 in any store. No longer there. The all dark version. $1129 tag.

I was fortunate enough to get mine this week and just got back from the range today. I have a 5" S&W 1911 and love it so I had high expectations from the new bobtail. I was not disappointed! Only 50 rounds fired so a little early but functioned perfectly with the consistency and accuracy of my 5". Tad bit more recoil than the 5" but that was expected.

I had also been on several waiting lists but was saved by my Dad's dealer in South Dakota. He came up with it within a month of my request...don't know why or how...don't care.
Just lucky I guess.

Good for you .... you are lucky. No hope here in CT and I could ride a bike from home to the S&W Headquarters.
