    The external extractor in 1911 is what ended Kimber as the premier 1911 manufacture. They never recover from it.

    Ouch on that price tag, but it is nice!

    The external extractor on this S&W works. Kimber made a mistake by taking short cuts. Extractor not having enough weight for inertia to work properly and not enough spring tension.

    Very nice. I WANT ONE NOW!! Looks as if this might be the “new” carry gun. Read the report in g&a today. Looks very good. S&W does need to work on the price tag.
