Smith & Wesson, 1911 E-Series, 45 Acp, 4.25in, 7+1, Scandium Frame, Laminate Grips

The Smith & Wesson 108483 1911 E-Series in .45 ACP brings the time-tested SW1911 lineage into a robust, shooter-ready package with a 4.25" stainless steel barrel and a black serrated stainless slide for reliable lockup and quick manipulations, while the black aluminum frame with a generous beavertail and round butt laminate wood grips delivers a comfortable carry profile and classic 1911 handling; this single-action (SAO) pistol with grip and thumb safeties and a 7+1 capacity pairs modern tritium night front and rear sights for low-light defensive work with a 28.8 oz weight that balances controllability for range work and duty use. As part of Smith & Wesson's SW1911 family—known for production, Pro, Champion and Performance Center variations—this model offers the materials and features collectors and operators expect: a hard case for transport, serrated slide for positive manipulation, and a stainless barrel for durability and accuracy. Ideal for defensive carry, service use, and serious range practice, it requires an FFL transfer and fits shooters who want classic 1911 ergonomics, reliable .45 ACP ballistics, and tritium sighting for night engagements.
