I picked mine up last Tuesday. Two short range sessions so far and I am really like it. It will probably become a primary carry gun. I will keep you posted. I should hit the range a couple more times next week. FWIW I would recommend it at this point.

I've been carrying a S&W 1911 for 5 years, it's the best gun I've ever owned. I've got the 1911PD Scandium. I had a Colt Gold Cup 1911 which had nothing but problems and went back to Colt twice - the S&W is a much better weapon.

I have the Steel framed E-series, its the one at 7 o'clock in the pic and when I compared it to Colts, a Kimber, a Springer, and a Para is was the most accurate of the bunch (as least for me).
Here is my range report: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-...ge-report-various-manufacturers-s-w-wins.html

I have the 1911SC commander size
To put it simply, it has become in 4 range sessions one of my very favorite guns.
It shot superbly right out of the box. Not a single FTF or FTE in the 500 or so rounds i have put through it. The bobtail fits perfectly in the palm. It is amazingly well balanced, especially with a full mag, which i was not expecting when compared to my Colt Combat Elite which i THOUGHT was well balanced in the hand. I wondered about recoil in the commander size with the lighter scandium frame. Simply not an issue. I shoot it as well or better than any other gun I own, including my treasured 39-2, 627PC and model 19-4.
As winter comes, along with more bulky clothing, i will likely be carrying it.
Oh, and it's PRETTY

Took my S&W 1911 SC E Series Bobtail two tone out last Saturday. My son had a 1 1/2" group at 7 yards. I was all over the place. He's 23 and I'm 62. Guess the gun is accurate. It's beautiful too. So happy that I bought the gun. Now I just have to learn how to shoot it.

I've had the SS E series for about a year, awesome shooter ! I shoot mostly reloads but it eats everything I've fed it. The trigger is the biggest improvemnet over my previous S&W 1911. Good luck.
