Goodbye Desert Eagle and Para, hello ?
 

Traded them in yesterday for this. Its outfitted as you see here. Other than maybe some more mags. Don't plan on getting anything else for it until I shoot it. Even then probably just a foregrip and different buttstock.

Enjoy! Once you shoot, you'll never want any other rifle again.

When I originally got the idea to trade in the DE and Para, it was for this. But then decided to see what they would give me for them and hope maybe that I could get an AR. While the guy was on the phone running the background check. I said go ahead and put this in there too.

It's got some carry wear, but doesnt look to be shot all that much. It made me nervous when I disassembled the gun to clean it, there was rust on the inside of the slide. But luckily it was just oily rust and cleaned right up. Its got a pretty good trigger, not as light as my Springfield. But with it being a carry gun, it's better that way. Got a real nice slide to frame fit too. I wish the tension on the beavertail was lighter, but other that that I'm real pleased with it.

I envy your S&W 1911

I figured you would. I need to take a better pic of it.

Get some rail covers for style and a foregrip.

Is that smith scandium framed or alloy? Hows it handle with reduced weight?

In time... in time.



It's alloy with some scandium in it for strength. I like the overall feel of the gun with the shorter slide and lighter frame. But we'll see if it's worth it when I shoot it.

I recommend either Pmags or mags with a counter. I think it's neat

Yeah I was planning on going with Magpul's and some AR-Stoner's too.

Get the guns to the range yet? Especially interested in the smith, they're 1911s seem to fly under the radar with less marketing and hye, but every review ive seen was positive. The lasergrip pd commander looks like a sweet carry deal.

No not yet. It was wet and humid here the last few days. Now its cold as hell. I got to work during the week sometimes too. I ordered some mags for the AR that should be here Mon., want to try them out. Got plenty for my 1911s.

Yes from what I've read Smith makes good 1911s (everything they make is generally good). Both safeties on my Smith I don't like. The thumb safety isn't "clean" when I engage it. Instead of one solid click like my Springfield, it has two small clicks. Disengage is fine. The grip safety doesn't have much room before it stops, but it's quite heavy and I find that I have to give it an extra squeeze to make sure it's fully pressed even with the speed bump.

Is the safety a large tactical type or a small milspec type? I like big controls. trigger nice?

It's extended, but fairly thin in profile. I think because of the shape of the safety it has to have two clicks before it's clear of the plunger tube. Trigger is nice and clean. I swapped the grips with the ones that were on my Springfield

Finally got to shoot both the AR and the S&W. The Springer Mil-Spec too. All ran flawless. Put 130 rounds through the AR, 30 rd Pmag, AR-Stoner, and a Cproducts, plus a 40rd AR Stoner. I wasn't used to the irons on it, so I used the red-dot mostly.

Around 40 through the S&W. I shot it first, so I wouldn't be objective because of the lighter weight compared to my other 1911's. 50 through the Mil-Spec, as a result of shooting the S&W first I would shoot it low to the right (tightening grip while squeezing trigger). Of course I shot the best with the Springer Loaded about 50 through it also. Had a failure to eject because of a reload, case split.

After shooting all of the those I shot my Beretta because I haven't took it out in while. After shooting the 9mm it will make you respect the .45 more.
