S&W pistols only discussion
George, I read the same article. Smiths PC pistols are something to behold indeed! I was lucky enough to find a 3-3/4" 945 {pre} earlier this year and its a home run! I can honestly say that this pistol is equal or better than any custom built 1911 I've ever held or owned (and I have seen examples from all the top dog 1911 'smiths). The fit and finish are perfect and the accuracy is unreal. Some of the features on my sample include-
titanium Briley bushing
Novak sights
Wilson beavertail and thumb safety
Ed Brown wedge m/s housing
Videcki trigger
I really like the CQB in that article but I have never likes the S&W decocker or mag 'safety". Thats why I have my dealer looking all over the country for a {pre} 945 4" or 5" model right now... if he finds me one I will buy it and NO $$ will go to Smith.
So, Kodiak, if you want a {pre} S&W PC pistol take a look at gunsamerica or elsewhere... they are worth every penny and are a bargain compared to any semi-custom pistol available today.
