Performance Center upgrades define this PC1911. The action is factory tuned, and the 5-inch stainless barrel is paired with a Briley spherical bushing for precise lockup. The barrel is throated, the feed ramp is polished, and the muzzle is precision crowned, all aimed at smooth feeding and consistent performance. The pistol uses a GI-style recoil system with a bushing barrel.
The slide is matte stainless with a ported/vented design near the muzzle, including three elongated cuts per side and top venting ahead of the ejection port. E-Series fish-scale cocking serrations provide confident manipulation. Sights are dovetailed, with a black blade front and a fully adjustable rear set up for target work. The chamber hood is marked ".45 AUTO PC."
Controls and ergonomics include an ambidextrous thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory pad. A skeletonized three-hole trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer complete the firing controls. The front strap and flat mainspring housing are checkered, and a flared magazine well funnel speeds reloads. Blue/black textured G10 grips provide a secure hold.
The stainless steel frame and slide wear a uniform matte finish, with factory markings that include the S&W crest roll mark and the frame warning "CAUTION - CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED." Factory specs list overall length at 8.7 inches and weight at 40.5 oz. Capacity is 8+1 in .45 ACP. This pistol is made in the USA and corresponds to S&W SKU/MPN 170343.
