Sorry for the newbie type question, but I looking to get a 1911 type and have narrowed it down to S&W. Don't have a 1911 so this is my first and unfortunately these guns are not accessible without ordering from our local dealer (can't check the fit and finish out first hand).
It's hard to get to much info from the S&W catalog and web site, but to the untrained eye, the current PC 945 (5" SS), #170173 looks just like PC SW1911 (5" SS), #170258. The specs on weight, etc. look the same, the only difference being grip material and finish.
Are these 2 really the same. Some posts to this forum (some a couple of years old now on this issue) talk about the grip angle and size being slightly different. Is this still true and is that the only difference?
Could someone take a moment and let me know what the difference is between these 2 guns and why you would get one over the other? Any difference in construction / quality, accuracy, recoil, etc.
THANKS!!!
