S&W E-Series Commander (108483) Scandium

General Firearms Handguns - 1911
1

Just got one of these in and I must say that S&W has out done themselves on this pistol. As a WC CQB and other high end 1911 owner, I must say that I am a bit of a 1911 snob. I am impressed with the fit of this gun, the details put into it and the cost.

Here are some pics for your enjoyment:

I hear nothing but good things about the “E” series.
Enjoy the light weight etc. !

That’s beautiful, my father in law, ( a huge S&W wheelgun fan) has told me about how S&W’s alloy scandium is revolutionary, and he wanted them to make a 1911 out of it.

Well here it is! Does it have the Schwartz firing pin block? Just curious, a while back I had a Kimber with that and I hated it, was always afraid of it not going bang when it was needed.

regards,

Josh

The “E” series S&Ws DO NOT have a firing pin safety. There are a lot of people who view the “E” series as a big improvement to the older S&W 1911s.

I would to. The E series is a great improvement.

This became my EDC a while back. The “E” Series S&W 1911 guns are fantastic.

10

Agreed. The melonite full-sized w/rail looks tempting.

Grant,

Can I also get a price from you?

Thanks,

Not to pile on, but I also am interested in prices on these “E” series pistols.

Much appreciated.

I think this is going to be my 100 year anniversary purchase…:ph34r:

S&W is slowly becoming the most valuable commercial 1911 on the market, IMHO.

Next to Colt, and Wilson.

That is a fine lookin’ pistol. Which grips are those? Very nice.

16

I wish they would make a 5 inch version.

17

In the E-Series? They do.

They are VZ-Grips - Elite Tactical Carry Hyena Brown G10

VZ hasn’t had a chance to make them for the RB “E” Series gun yet so I took a pair of regular grips and did some filing, sanding and fitting to make them work with this gun. The final sanding was with #600 grit paper and they look like new.

These are early guns and they now have them available in the black finish also.

These guns have been nothing but reliable. I made a few small tweeks that are in line with what Hilton Yam did to his and all three of mine have proven to be very trustworthy guns.

10-8 just released the “Ledge” style “U” notch all black rear sight. I’ll post some pics after I get it installed. These are excellent guns and if the OP has them available, you should get one before they’re gone.
