S&W 1911 100th Anniversary Edition

[burnaby]

If end of year isn't a misprint plus typical expected delays our 102nd anny should arrive in 2013. Sounds good.

 

[bobdbldr]

No firm dates but if I remember correctly the sheet said the end of the year.

Works for me,I have time to figure out where to live when the wife finds out!
Just read the add it says right there launch date dec. 2012! Pefect, time to sell that useless extra kidney!

Half way to Dec 2012

Cristmas Present !?

Half way to Dec 2012

With any luck it will be a nice Christmas present to myself!!

 

[burnaby]

Another dealer announced their's are on their way so what's the word???

 

[Chemist]

Ours are coming in the same batch as theirs so arrival dates should be similar.

So is it true that these 1911's will be arriving on September 13, is the long wait finally over.

 

[Bak Dur]

Hey Ryan,

Are they coming in this week? Do you have any left??

To the lucky guys who got them..............are you guys planning on shooting them?

 

[burnaby]

Looking fwd to it, Just one more week

Planning on shooting it unless someone convince me otherwise. Stamps are for collecting, Guns for NOISE & SMOKE.

Non shooter, here.

It will be polished 4x a year.

There are almost an infinite number of 1911s that one can shoot. Why shoot one that is a limited edition model?

Maybe these won't be a big collectors item. Who knows........

How about a pic

 

[Max Owner]

There has been some discussion on 2 pictures that are floating around.

South Frontenac's and another vendor that has them coming in. They both have a picture of a gun. Not sure which one is really coming to Canada......

Frontier's pic is of the original 500 that 10 of us ordered here back in Aug. 2011 (in time for the 100th anny) but was told in Dec 2011 the non Yanks are getting the 250 export version as pictured here.

Frontier mentioned they will post pics of actual if not all sold.

We better be getting the fish scale series E.

AGREED. I only want it for the sharp fishscale design. I don't care for the US version with just the rear serrations

I had cancelled my order with another vendor cause I just found out my wife is pregant two days ago. That and Im not too fond of the fish scale serrations of the export. Now Im sitting here thinking if I should of cancelled it or not. Oh decisions decisions. I realize it will be a rare 1911 and Im into collecting smiths. How much do you think these guns will be worth in the future? What should I do guys!

Wait until your wife has had the baby, then buy mine for only $5000. I'll throw in a free holster.

Put your name on the list now, might be some left!
I am not sure how I feel about a smith / colt 100 year ani, either but these are selling for not much more than a regular smith .45 so if things get tight you will always get your money back(if you don't shoot it!

 

[bobdbldr]

Transfers will be starting this week!
OH YEA, I am in the Atlantic Provinces, so, fish scale serrations are good with me!

 

[burnaby]

Yippie, just got the email from Marcie orders are being processed. Being a year and 3 weeks since the order for the original went in.

Thanks Ryan for honoring the original price. Can't wait to light her up

 

[bobdbldr]

Processing mine, they were great , I had a request and they tried their hardest to accomodate, then, because it has been so long I have a different cc #, they contacted me right away and rectified! Great service. Anyone who put down their cc # last year might want to make sure you haven't changed it or got a new card!
