Smith & Wesson SW1911 Adjustable-Sight Target – Matte Stainless .45 ACP (2007)
Built for shooters who appreciate classic 1911 lines but demand modern refinements, this 2007 Smith & Wesson SW1911 Adjustable-Sight Target model combines match-grade accuracy with rugged all-stainless construction. A five-inch stainless barrel, fully adjustable target sights, sharply cut 20 LPI front-strap checkering, and S&W’s distinctive external extractor give this full-size .45 a unique blend of heritage and practicality. Collectors will note the early JRJ-prefix serial range—predating the later E-Series—and the Houlton, Maine manufacture that many enthusiasts seek out.
Condition
• Overall: Excellent. Only the faintest evidence of prior handling keeps it from being listed as “like new.”
• Finish: Uniform matte stainless throughout, no discoloration or scratches of note.
• Bore: Mirror-bright with crisp, sharp lands and grooves—rated Excellent.
• Mechanics: Slide-to-frame fit is tight, trigger breaks cleanly, and all safeties engage positively.
What’s Included
You will receive the original blue molded Smith & Wesson hard case matched to the pistol’s serial number, factory owner’s manual, a 1911 barrel-bushing wrench, three factory 8-round magazines, and the mid-2000s accessory package of S&W-branded brown leather OWB holster and single magazine pouch.
From muzzle to mainspring housing, this SW1911 is packed with shooter-friendly touches. The fully adjustable rear sight teams with a dovetailed front blade for precise point-of-impact tuning, while the skeletonized three-hole aluminum trigger features an over-travel stop for a clean, short reset. An ambidextrous thumb safety, grip safety, and Swartz-style, grip-activated firing-pin safety add familiar 1911 layers of protection without altering the pistol’s crisp single-action break. The S&W-spec external extractor—seldom seen on other 1911s—offers positive case control and easy maintenance. Attractive cocobolo-tone diamond-checkered wood stocks give a secure purchase and complement the satin stainless finish.
