    Smith 1911PC round butt

    Thanks to all of you that have helped with my decision to pick up a commander bobtail.
    I've liked Smith and Wesson for its quality and lifetime no nonsense warranty for quite a while now, so the choice was pretty easy.
    I've made a small modification to the grips. Cut a groove and dyed them to mute the loud color. I think they turned out really well.
    This thing feels and shoots amazing. The first couple hundred rounds have been flawless with cheap, old ammo I had collecting dust.
    Hope the before and after pics of the grip color change comes through.

      ^^ That is a nice looking 1911.
      S&W makes great 1911s.
      Nice work on the grips to get rid of the flash.

        Gorgeous bobtail! Your reworked grips are a major improvement.

              Great choice! One of my favorite 1911's that I own. I also did not like the loud colored grips and changed them out.

                And even sold a set to me to do the same.

                The fit and finish on this pistol is as nice as anything I own and the trigger is just sublime.

                And yeah, nice job on the stock grips OP.
                Buy made in USA whenever possible.

                    I am not a 1911 fan, but that is really pretty. Good job.

                        Lovely pistol. I concur, S&W 1911's are great. I have an E series and it is awesome.
