Beautiful Weapon. Finish, machine work, assembly all top notch. Gun shoots better then I can. 900 Rounds took everything I gave it, HP, Flat nose, round nose 180g and 230 grain. Only had two fail to lock slide on empty mag early on, has worked great since. No Eject or fail to feed problems at all. Trigger is pretty darn good right out of the box. Very good reset. I will probably replace trigger to flat design just a personal preference. Sighted in at 20 yards center hold.

I think this is the Nicest looking gun I own! Shoots like a dream like most quality 1911’s. One negative thing I would say about this gun in the bottom corner of the grips. It digs into my palm. Being my 3rd 1911 and noticing this was interesting. Maybe it’s because I’ve shot this one more that others (para ordinance, Taurus)? I am a S&W fan by far so I can only compliment they’re products other than that one small grip complaint but maybe it’s just me. I would highly recommend this gun though.

I purchased this several years ago now for a birthday gift to myself and finally got around to reviewing it. The 1911 single action trigger is famous for being wonderful and this is as to be expected in it's crispness and lightness. I initially had a problem with the extraction, it was deforming the brass shell base leaving a big indentation as it was ripped and flicked from the chamber. I contacted S&W customer support, for a shipping label and 3 weeks later it returned with only one note about the shop polishing the extractor. It now functions 100% as expected and I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. I do have a few minor complaints, nothing serious, and probably petty... Which are: -The texturing on the back of the grip is very aggressive. After 50 shots with an ungloved hand the texturing becomes quite uncomfortable. -The recoil spring plug needing to be depressed and rotated for disassembly is a thin walled rim which is very nearly impossible to remove without the tool they send or with bare skin, the spring is very stiff and the plug is rather sharp. Both of which are curable and neither of which are that bad in my opinion.

After testing multiple .45 caliber products this weapon was the Rolls Royce of .45 caliber 1911s. The straight back suppressed recoil along with a clean ejection port improves accuracy up to 50 feet as tested. Of course an increased magazine of more than eight (8) would be preferable. Do not think there is a better looking weapon sitting in your case with the stainless finish and cherry handcarved grips!

Pics don't do this gun justice. It's a beautiful 1911. Very well made, no machine marks, shoots wonderfully. I have to admit, I'm always worried when I shoot and clean it, that it might get scratched, lol. I saved a couple of hundred dollars buying it at Bud's versus from my local gun shop. Couldn't be happier.

Beautiful 1911. Slide to frame fit is great as is the thumb and grip safety. Really like that it's a series 70. Sights are easy to see and right on. Fired 50 rounds of mixed FMJ and JHP with no malfunctions and a high degree of accuracy. Very comfortable to shoot.

One of the nicest 1911s I've had, no problems or complaints.

This is a beautiful 1911 and the fit of the slide to frame feels custom. I just took it to the range this past weekend and ran 400 rounds of Hornady 45 ACP 220gr+P FlexLock Critical Duty ammo through without one failure to feed or jam. Very accurate right out of the box. As always, I appreciate the great price from Buds via their Qualified Professionals program!
