Scandium commanders: SW1911Sc ORM vs. NRM vs. SW1911PD vs. SW1911Sc E Series

Here is a pic of my daily carry 1911SC. I went with custom thin grips.
I have probably 1500+ rounds through it. Only thing it doesn't like was some low power low recoil stuff one of buddies loaded. Otherwise, it eats everything. Most reliable 1911 I have ever had (even more so than my Les Baer and Ed Brown and especially more so that any of the Kimbers I have had).

I like your holster and mag. carrier. I went to Amazon to check out the different grips.There are many really nice grips there but the grips that came on my full sized E Series are hard to beat.

Cannot help you with the S&W but I did make a leap of faith and bought one of the new Colt lightweight Commanders in .45 ACP. Oddly enough it would not feed correctly with the two eight round Colt mags that came with it (some things never change it seems). However with Wilson 47-D, McCormick and the new Remington R1 mags it works flawlessly with Hornady +P 230gr TAP FPD and 230gr ball ammo. Recoil with the new dual recoil spring seems to be a bit reduced and accuracy is good. Overall I like it but the $814.00 price I paid for it seems a bit steep.

Who made the gun leather?

 

[WisconsinKen]

I got the leather from rdwarrenleather.com. I had another holster from him. His leather work is absolute top notch! I have attached a picture of another mag holder I had him make at the same time. I refer to it as my "bad side of town" mag holder.

I got the grips from Ron at rmhknives.com. He is also a true artisan and his work is gorgeous.

Nice. Thanks!

Well as of today I'm the owner of a SW1911PD with CT grips. Got it home for all just under $750. The laser grips will take some getting used to, but I'm not ready to put them in the marketplace just yet - I'll give them a fair go first.
