SW1911CT Review

[LesterPTelestrat]

I've fired 450 rounds through my brand new E series 1911 Crimson Trace. What a great ride it's been so far. I've not had one FTF, missfire, stove pipe, or any malfunctions of any kind. It just keeps shooting everything I feed it. Mostly my reloads, but I've also fired Hornady XTP 230 grn, and CCI Blazer.

I find it much easier to shoot accurately than other pistols I have. I'm also very impressed with the accuracy of the gun when using the laser grips. I've got them dialed in nicely.

It is also easy to reclaim my brass as the large extractor ejects in a reasonably consistent area and never back at my face as I've had happen with other guns.

Now where can I find a good deal on the scandium model with the 4 inch barrel, tritium sites, bobtail stock and ambi safety etc, etc...?

I'm with 'ya 100%! I have the CT grip on my 108295 which I have had for several years and have had the same great performance from the gun although I shoot it mostly with the iron sights. My PPK/S on the other hand gets shot about 50% with the laser on and while I can get about the same results either way the follow up shots with the laser are much quicker than the iron sights. (Of course that's just me...individual results may vary!)

As for the 4.25" 1911SC I am lucky enough to have one. Where to get a good deal on one? If you can find that out I'm sure many would like to know. There are a few on the auction sites but they aren't giving them away. At some point they will be more plentiful I'm sure.

I, too, have a 108295. It is a great gun. The CT grips make it fun to shoot and certainly enhance my limited shooting skills.

Lester,

Your 1911 is a beauty. Glad to hear it shots as well as it looks. A good 1911 is a wonderful thing!

Best,

Heekma
