This would be my first 1911. I was down at Sportsmen's Den in Quincy the other day and saw this in the case. I can see why there is such a fuss over 1911's now. The thing felt great in my hands, and that could be due to the fact it's what S&W considers a sub compact.
Then I got around to poking at the website, and see this new "E" series in the lineup, which looks like they took the slide off an M&P and put it on the 1911 frame. The round butt looks funky, but if it helps reduce printing I'm all for it. Barrel is 4.25" so presumably it helps with muzzle flip compared to the Pro Series 3" barrel.
Any of you guys up here in the NE put these guns through the paces? The good, the bad, the ugly?
