Smith & Wesson “E” Series 1911

Posted by Andrew Tuohy

Coinciding with requests for longer reviews is the arrival of a S&W 1911 - the new "E" series model with no Swartz safety and the improved Performance Center extractor. This model also has the Melonite finish and an accessory rail. The review will take a while to complete due to other work and the interests of being thorough, but I am shooting for a 7 minute Youtube video. Too long? Too short?

7.62×25 Barrel Problems

Posted by Andrew Tuohy

Although this is a problem I haven't experienced, some other folks apparently have - case head separations with surplus Tokarev ammo in the J&G 1911 conversion barrels. J&G is handling the issue with replacement barrels for those who want them.
