The magazine release is checkered, and the aluminum three-hole trigger is familiar to 1911 shooters with its adjustable overtravel stop. The grip safety protects the hand from hammer bite and is sculpted with a raised bump to ensure that the shooter’s hand disengages it automatically when grabbing the pistol. The thumb safety is extended on both sides and the beavertail grip safety is beveled smooth.

There are two manual safeties on this handgun, both ambidextrous. The controls on this pistol are as you’d expect. The SW1911 features two active, ambidextrous safeties: an extended thumb safety lever and a beavertail grip safety. A rounded butt makes this handgun slightly more concealable, forming an abbreviated bobtail of sorts. The frame features many enhancements including a vertically serrated frontstrap, a checkered, flat mainspring housing and a high frame cut, which puts the axis of the bore as low as possible relative to the hand. Inside the SW1911 grip is a single-stack magazine that carries eight rounds not to include one in the chamber. The eight-round stainless steel magazine fits flush in theSW1911’s scandium-alloy frame. For this review, we’re looking at the Officer’s Model-sized SW1911 in 9mm. There are currently two full- size stainless versions with different sights, and two Officer-sized models, one in 9mm and another in. Essentially, SW1911s are stock guns equipped with certain upgrades as standard equipment.Īs its name suggests, the SW1911 is Smith & Wesson’s subcompact 1911-style handgun.

When you consider its features, S&W’s Pro Series fits in the custom-production category between the firm’s standard-production models and the custom-built Performance Center firearms. Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center SW1911 Pro Series is a handgun that transcends multiple consumer categories. Generations of shooters have fallen in and out and back in love with the 1911, not to mention the die hards who are not interested in departing from it for the sake of something new.

Though polymer-framed striker-fired pistols represent a considerable slice of the market, there is demand for a compact and carry-worthy 1911s. If the market is any indicator, single-stack 9mms have become a top choice for concealed carry handguns, especially with Model 1911s.
