| SW1911 Pro Series 9mm |
| 2021-05-23 |
| [Daily Caller] The Smith & Wesson Performance Center SW1911 Pro Series, an Officer-size variant of John Browning’s venerated design, is the Performance Center’s first 9 mm Luger-chambered offering in the platform. An attempt to provide the best of both worlds—the added capacity offered by a smaller-diameter projectile, housed within one of the most popular configurations of pistol ever made—the SW1911 Pro Series’ subcompact dimensions make it ideal as a carry gun. True to traditional form for Officer-size M1911s, the SW1911 Pro Series is a single-stack semi-automatic, with a grip angle and ergonomics familiar to any M1911 devotee. However, to reduce weight—an important consideration for everyday carry—the frame is constructed from a scandium alloy instead of the more traditional steel, bringing the gun’s empty weight down to only 26 ozs. Further, it features a rounded butt to reduce the chance of snagging on clothing when carrying concealed. To promote a firm grip, both the frontstrap and the mainspring housing are checkered (the mainspring housing being the more aggressive of the two), while the factory stocks are coarsely stippled synthetics. |

| #1 Besoeker I still love my Colt Delta Elite 10mm using 230 grain custom loaded ammo. I am too ammo frugal and lazy to double tap?☺ |
