Beautiful gun. I've put 350 rounds through it without a hiccup (factory and low power reloads). Time will tell on the finish on the scandiium, but looks great now. Regarding Mathew C's comments...seems like you got a lemon. It's not really the same as the supercarry Kimber though they look similar. Kimber doesn't have scandium, but aluminum frame. If you've seen the finish on the Kimber up close (I was initially going to purchase the Supercarry), it looks like paint. I think the SW is much more attractive, but I guess that's personal. I've also got two Kimbers, and I would not say the workmanship is better than the SW. In fact one of those Kimbers had to be sent back to the factory twice...both times after the one year warranty had expired, and I was charged for "repairs" just to get the gun to reliably feed hollowpoints. S&W has a lifetime warranty. Don't think I'll buy another Kimber.

Just an FYI I just received this gun today and have yet to fire it, so this review only applies to initial thoughts. First off this is one of the sexiest, best looking guns I have had the privilege to hold and own. S&W definitely raised the bar in the world of 1911's. The wood grips were darker than the ones in the image, but thats understandable being they are wood and will tend to vary in color from grip to grip. The gun feels great in in your hands, wouldn't change a thing about the design. The only reasons i'm rating them 4/5 is 1. I have yet to shoot the gun, and 2. the gun did have a scratch under one of the safeties. I read that the safeties and the slide release would scratch the gun, and after messing with the gun for quite some time, it appears that the slide release is a non issue (at least on mine), and the left side of the gun has a 1/3" long scratch under the left side safety, and the right side appears that it is/will slowly rub off some of the black paint in time. Beyond the known issues, this is a great gun and am very pleased with my purchase.

Ordered this beauty on 4/9/2012, and it arrived on 4/12/2012. It arrived in perfect condition. After reading the disclaimers about the pistol possibly arriving in a just fired condition, I was ready to give it a thorough cleaning. The only cleaning it needed was a light once over and a little lubrication, which should be done to any just received firearm. Can't wait to get this bad boy to the range!
Thanks Buds, you've come through for me again!
