Never mind... I just looked one up, at auction, Hammer price $70,000.00 dollars plus 15% for the auction... :eek:

Yeah they are a little crazy in price

Anyone have experience with the S&W E series? I saw one today for 767 out the door. I might go buy it in the morning if they still have it.

Yes great guns, a friend has one and I will add one to my collection some day. It was a bit of a disappointment though that when he first got it brand new the sights where not properly zeroed from factory, once that was addressed fantastic gun. I haven't checked prices on them for a while but 767 sounds like a good deal

Msrp is 924 so I figured 767 otd is pretty good. It's definitely a good looking 1911. I'm going to buy it tomorrow if they got it still.

I had one, believe I traded it to @ArtVandelay, pretty grips, but I was underwhelmed by the trigger and action

S&W makes a fine 1911. A lot of 1911 guys don't like them because of the external extractor (myself included), but if you aren't a purist it won't matter to you.

I personally won't own a 1911 with an external extractor but it's on principal, not because I think internal is better.

You are missing out on some excellent elevens.
