Our Assessment: This is a Commander-style pistol, based on the 1911 design, but produced by Smith & Wesson. Similar to the Commander, this pistol has a 4 1/4" barrel and an alloy frame, but it also has a number of upgrades over a basic Commander which are popular for these types of pistols. The slide has front and rear serrations, the grip safety is an extended beavertail style allowing for a higher grip without slide-bite and positive engagement when gripped, the thumb safety is extended, and the pistol has a full-length guide rod and skeletonized hammer and trigger.
The gun is in Excellent condition, showing signs of light handling and minimal use. This will make for a fine carry or home defense handgun, would be a great pistol for IDPA matches, and in its high condition, may interest the S&W collectors.
