Goodbye Desert Eagle and Para, hello ?

Get some rail covers for style and a foregrip.

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

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
