I'm still waiting for the E series with the bobbed tail.
Nice Andy I too, was also torn between this and the new Ruger 1911. I opt'd the cheaper route for my first 1911, and went Ruger.

nothing wrong with the Ruger 1911!
I plan on having the S&W bobbed. A friend of mine does custom gun work right here in saugus, and just ordered the jig to bobtail the frames!
I will post pics after it is done!
No, that is not the 9mm, it is the .45
as for the pro compact, I already have a custom Colt 3'

Started off as a colt new agent, but I didn't like the trench sight design, so I found a guy who had a colt defender and we traded slides. I then had it cerakoted in tungsten grey.
