Smith & Wesson "E" Series 1911: Dealers?

[mountainspruce]

This full size is very attractive. It is model no. SW1911TA E-Series™ with an Accessory Rail. Any CDN dealers out there stocking this one in satin? I'd like two please. One for a friend!

Not bad for a Smith & Wesson.

External extractor too. Interesting.

From the sounds of things, the S&W E series may be the first 1911 to really crack the external extractor code.

It's the only 1911 that currently interests me seriously.

I would add that IS THE HIGHEST VALUE 1911 on the North American market right this very second!

Where are the dealers? Two days and no replies? I am sure we'll see one or two soon. Hopefuly, this one isn't one or two years away.

Check out the North Sylva forum, they are the major distributor in Canada, and there is a thread about the E series there.

S&W has had external extractors on their 1911's for ages. Nothing new.

The E-series external extractor is a new design (or I wouldn't be interested in it).

I think the SIG series of 1911 's are also one of the best value buys in the current 1911 market.... hundreds of dollars cheaper then similar kimbers and they come with frontstrap checkering where as very few of the kimbers do.

Already compared the TacOps. This one is a better value. The fact is, the competition in the 1911 world is closing in on companies like Les Baer and Wilson and Nighthawk. All three have another thing coming with pistols like this one. The times are a changin'! Watch all the prices fall through 2012.

Go's to show you how much attention i spend on S&W pistols.
Still think it's a cool idea.
Any opinions on how well these extractors work?

it does look nice, too bad it doesn't have all stainless controls

I was wondering the same thing about the controls, easy fix anyway.

I'm not a 1911 fan, but I'd make an exception for this one....

Or the Sig 1911 Blackwater.

From the research I've done, looks like they perfected the external extractors on their 1911's. I think the first 1911's with external extractors came out in 2002. Works great but some people still prefer the internal extractor.
