I have a 45 model. It is just a S&W 1911 with some extras. If you like those features, and I do then buy it. If you don't like the straight trigger and other features, buy a different model that has the features you like. If you want a 38 super the PC gun is excellent, and S&W doesn't offer any other choices. But in it's price range, there are other choices from other manufacturers.
