This was my first purchase from Buds, and my first handgun purchase. I wasn't a big fan of polymer guns, and after shooting a 1911, I just knew I had to buy one. Shipping was fast and easy, and the transfer was easy. I took this gun to the range and put 200 rounds through it with no malfunctions. 100 Rds of Winchester white box, S&B, and even Sig V crown HP. No problems, shot accurately without having to adjust the sights.
For under $1,000 you can't beat the value of this 1911. The wood grips are beautiful, and so are the fish scale front and back side serrations. Very little play in the fit, and in the trigger. Overall an extremly good purchase and I couldn't be happier with Buds! Can't wait to buy more guns from Buds!!!!

I had shopped around and looked at a number of options when shopping for a 1911. The S&W E series has more than met my expectations. I have not had any issues after running 500 rounds. If there is one downfall, it is that because the recoil spring is so tight it is a little difficult to take down and reassemble. other than that, I really love this 1911 and think that it is a hidden gem in the 1911 market.

Just purchased a S&W 1911 E series from Bud's. Price was best I could find. Delivery/Transfer was very simple. Have shot 200 rounds so far without any issues. This 1911 is very well made, shoots great and looks good doing it.

When I picked the 1911 up from my FFL, The flats on the finish had several small scratches which were visible. The thumb safety was scratching the frame when engaging and disengaging. I have sent the pistol back to Smith and Wesson for warranty work to fix this finish problem. I do not believe a brand-new gun should come with these fit and finish flaws. Luckily Smith & Wesson has a lifetime warranty and that covers this problem. Buds shipped fast and their customer service is always perfect. Hopefully Smith & Wesson will fix the finish flaws and return the pistol quickly.

First thing you will notice is the flawless appearance. The shine from the slide with the matte silver frame really make the wood grips stand out. The rest of the aesthetics are largely similar to most other 1911s. The front serrations are a nice touch. Sights are pretty standard. Trigger is a very smooth, crisp break. As for shooting, 1911's can be picky on ammo but this has chewed out everything I have put through it flawlessly. With around 500 rounds through it now, it is a solid piece to my collection. I bought this without much knowledge of S&W 1911's and the gamble paid off. I would recommend to anyone.

I looked for a 1911 that had a good fit and finish with a milled front strap for a while. Few under 1k fit the bill. I chose the E Series because it was a terrific value. The frame to side fit has just a little play, that and the sights are not standard 1911 sights are my only complaint. The gun has a great fit and finish, a decent trigger, and is very accurate. The external extractor worked flawless. I have put 100 rounds through it and no issues at all. Best value 1911 there is IMO. Sure the Ruger or Rock Island may shoot just as good, but it's not quite on the same level.
