Thanks for the video. I just picked up a S&W 1911 E series yesterday. What a beautiful 1911. Happy New Year!
My question is when is Smith and Wesson coming out with a new 10mm 1911 ???,🤷🏾♂️
I agree, the "E" series S&W 1911 is a great gun. Love mine.
I consider creep to be movement after you hit the wall of the trigger until it fires. It looks like the Dan Wesson had some regular take up and no creep at all.
Bad Moon Knight your right "take up" is the proper term, I hate it when I make a silly mistake like that. Thank-you for watching! Beretta Sr.
That S&W E series is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes it is. Thanks for watching.
B9USA Sr.
Beautiful 1911s gentlemen!
KSGunGuy 01 Thank-you my friend.... they were fun pistols at the Range. Beretta Sr.
Great video.
I have to give a shout out to Dan Wesson/CZ for maintaining some models on California's DOJ Roster of Handguns. Thank you. I know it has to be an enormous pain to keep models that have been replaced by newer versions so that we can enjoy fine handguns at this time.
I've owned allot of 1911s and can say the Eseries is a top notch gun out of the box. Yes there's better ones but for the money S&W. My Eseries have ambidextrous safeties on both sides.
Love my e-series 1911!!! Such a smooth shooter and 100% reliable so far. Hard to beat for the price. Thanks for another great video.
Are you still happy with it??
@@Hialeah1925 yes! Would recommend without hesitation.
@@Mr9Milly thanks!
I've saved up for a long time and would like a nice pistol. I really don't care if it costs $1k or $5k. The flagship SW1911 is about $1700. Would you do that... or Dan Wesson....or Wilson Combat... or Nighthawk?
I realize that this video was made over 5 years ago but you guys did a great job. I just picked up at the S&W1911 E Series for my son for Christmas. I can't wait for him to open "his" gift, lol. I can't wait to shoot it, lol. I found it on sale at a great price and couldn't pass it up. It is just a beautiful 1911, especially for the money.
Smith & Wesson just been in the game for a long time. Very professional, there firearms are 2nd to none. I'm not talking about hand made Wilson's, but the smith will do everything that a les or wilson or jesse james 1911 will do, in the right hands
Keep telling yourself that and be happy. Lol
Engraved E series is very slick! First time seeing one like this.
I would still take the DW
Just picked up a Stainless Valor yesterday! Probably won’t get to shoot it till next weekend. Great video thanks for the post.
Ronald Stonecipher Your gonna love it!!
Beretta Sr.
You can actually see the recoil impulse differential between them when you guys are firing the two. Dan Wesson on all points but recoil. The recoil line on the Smith seemed very smooth and your hand came back and to the same place many more times than with the Dan Wesson.
I've actually noticed this myself on a Springfield TRP and my SW lightweight commander. Whatever SW is doing, it works. Too bad they discontinued the rail version of the E-series.
Good video.
I had an E series S&W a bit ago but saved up for a Dan Wesson Bruin. Love the DW but both are very nice.
Have them both and neither disappoint. Beautiful guns.

Just me but the Dan Wesson looks way better IMO
I totally agree, even though the S&W was really nice. Dan Wesson makes beautiful firearms without all the fancy(and expensive) engraving. They're just sleek and simplistic.
Why don’t you guys like engraved, isn’t it look nicer?
Dennis Guyver it’s just not my style. I wanna run my guns in holsters. I wanna run thousands of rounds. When I see an ornately carved firearm I see investment and family heirloom.
@@JohnShaw26.2 mmm Shaw.. investment and family heirloom that's more like for me. I'm Canadian, shooting a gun is a luxury here. Gun club takes 6 or more month on a waiting list. Then u got 6 month probation before they let u shoot by urself. Some won't allow you shoot handgun the first couple of weeks. U guys might laugh at this. My buddy got charged just because he shoot in the air in front of the intruder. Guess what in Canada, either you get shot or you spend court time proving the intruder had more lethal than you. If the guy doesn't have a gun or let's said a one that doesn't shoots bullet. Then you looking at prison time, buddy🤭Basically you have to make sure the guy has better weapon than you if you shoot him/her.😄
Dennis Guyver that’s crazy to me. I get on a dirt trail 50 yards from my house, drive a mile and shoot handguns whenever I want. If I want to shoot rifles, I just go a few more miles (noise, don’t wanna upset the neighbors) or I just toss on a suppressor.
I bought the specialist in the stainless finish what an awesome 1911.
Awesome video
Beautiful 1911's
Stay Vigilant.
T-5 Terminator Thank-you Sir. Beretta Sr.
BERETTA9mmUSA
You are very welcome.
Would really like to see a performance center Smith put up against the Dan Wesson.
You Rock Beretta!
Nothing is nicer than a 1911. .....such a gem.
John Grytbakk I am liking the 1911 pistols more and more. With 2 more 1911's coming in September-October 2017 timeframe. Thanks for watching.
Beretta Sr.
Thanks guys! This has got to be one of my most favorite of your videos yet!
cmonsterz Thank-you very much! We Appreciate it very much, Thumbs Up!
Beretta Sr.
S&W 1911's are definitely underrated. Their performance centre pro series 1911 is excellent.
BUT...
The silly folks at S&W use a proprietary notch cut geometry for their rear sights. So if you want to change the sights to match your preference there is next to nothing available after market!... very frustrating.
I have the E in black. Nice weapon. The good thing about 45’s is the sound of them firing will scare the hell out of most people!
My favorite 1911s now a days. Smith & Wesson and the Dan Wesson. I am also a fan of the Sig Sauer 1911s.
Dan wesson all day baby although id perfer the 1911 chambered in 10mm DW razorback
Excellent side by side run. I recently purchased the Specialist. Very smooth operation and lite touch trigger. Nice shooting by the way.
Edward McDonald I made it 3 years shooting around this 2015 BMW X5 in several Shooting Videos and did not shoot it one time. I turned in the X5 last week. :) The Car will live on in these videos. The 1911's were great too. Thanks for watching. Beretta Sr.
Nice video. I have a few Dan Wessons. I think they are hard to beat.
Top 10 greatest gun channel on RUclips!
NEVER OBEY Thank-you very much! We appreciate it more then you know. The 1911's were a Blast to take to the range! I am really happy to hear you all are pleased with the new content and the work that we are doing on the Channel these days. Beretta Sr.
Excellent video, I really like your vids more and more.. especially with more 1911 love. Subbed 🖒 My E Series 5" stainless was purchased new for $760 from Bud's about 4 years ago. Absolute best fit, finish, value, and performance 1911 that can be had for that price point period. I'd stupidly sold it about a year ago and wanted it back so bad, I traded a new weapon worth $1k to get it back and did so without hesitation.
Alex Moss I Love mine too! Beretta Sr.
Great Video! Also great job to your son on the ambidextrous shooting!
Man that DW is visibly more viscous in the recoil
You can get a stronger reset if you put more tension on the middle tab of the sear spring. I know it’s an old video, but I figured I’d share some knowledge I’ve learned over the years.
In my experience the Valor line is more expensive than the Specialist and any Smith 1911 I've ever handled have been "series 70".
Christoffer Keizer We have received a couple comments saying the Valor is more in their area. In our area the New Blued Specialist is about $100 more then the full size Blued Valor. Don't get me wrong I want the Blued Valor next. I will try to talk about the selling prices in that video on both pistol. Thanks for watching! Beretta Sr.
BERETTA9mmUSA I didn't know they made a blued version.
Thank you, I really enjoyed that video! I was able to glean a few nuggets of information and the video was well done.
I have the E series, one of the best shooting 1911’s I have ever had. Only complaint I had was the safety lever moved way too easy. I replaced it with a Wilson Combat. I want a Dan Wesson.
jetdr You will love adding a Dan Wesson 1911 to your Smith & Wesson 1911!!!
Beretta Sr.
Picked up the S&W just yesterday!
I was looking for a military no features style 1911 but the smith was just there so good looking!
Till your video, I did not know the 70 series mecanism and bigger extractor weren’t standard fearures.
It really is a nicely built gun! I like that trigger, no grit and heavy enough (I hate 2 pounds triggers for defence/combat).
It has it’s place next to my other Smiths, a 29-2 and 66-3!
Actually both the specialist and valor are considered their flagship 1911s. Both are listed at $2012 on their website.
Samson1676 Thank- you Sir for looking that up and posting the answer. Most Gun folks think the Valor stands alone at the Top at Dan Wesson. Beretta Sr.
Both of em are Awesome,.. Great Video.!!
When I saw beretta sr come around that car with that awesome 1911, I thought to myself those targets are screwed , Merry Christmas
If anyone is on the fence about DW, get a Blem instead of a new one. Saves about $300 and you literally can't find the blemish and it's a great gun
Matt Pfaff I agree. When you can find them at my dealer they are between a little more then $300 off and most of the time you can not find it until you read the paperwork that tells the new owner where the blemish is. :) It is a great deal for a high quality 1911.
Beretta Sr.
Where can you find a blemish one at? Or is it like finding a needle in the haystack
The Smiths and The Wessons were never the same after the divorce.
Just got a new/in-box Dan Wesson V-bob 9mm at a gun auction for $925. Wasn't planning on buying it but I couldn't let it go to someone else for that price. I've always liked the look and feel of 1911's but haven't ever personally owned one before. I feel like I'm playing catch up, trying to learn about something different than a striker fired Glock. I felt like I got a pretty sweet deal on it. My buddy picked up the SS Dan Wesson Specialist at the same auction for $950. I knew Dan Wesson's were in the $1500 ball park but I didn't know the differences at the time between the Valor or Specialist. If only I did I would have outbid him for the Specialist. Sweet video, glad to hear that the DW lives up to the hype.
Defensive weapon and work of art.
My Specialist is 30 numbers behind yours down the line. Cool.
Banshee365 👍🇺🇸That is Awesome!!
Beretta Sr.
Thank you for the good review. It's my next 1911. S&W just does a pretty darn nice job on their 1911s. Thank you again.
S&M E changed my opinion on shooting with 1911. Never another plastic gun for me!
Sick!!!!
Definitely the best of both worlds here. The E series looks great & would be my choice for the next BBQ. The DW looks like the 'go to' for the tactical drop leg rig.
TheGunfighter45acp That is just a Great Comment! Beretta Sr.
I have an E series and was considering a DW Specialist. Think I'll keep looking since it doesn't look like there's any significant advantage that warrants the extra cost. In Canada, the Specialist is double the price of my E.
Great video thank you ... I own the Valor and it is one of my favorite hand guns. Think I would compare to your Les Baur ... I did change my grips on my Valor to the standard VZ grips it comes with slim one. Thanks again
CZ 1always Thank-you Sir, I want a Valor, maybe a "Carry Model" in 2018. That's my plan anyway. Beretta Sr.
Ive got the E series Scandium (not the performance center) and it comes with the ambi safety & trijicon night sights. I’ve been very happy with it, I like it better than my colt government.
Which finish did you get and how it is holding up?
Oh my stars. Both are mighty fine firearms. I don't think I should watch you guys any more. It is not healthy to observe such high quality guns & gear & see you two make them absolutely dance. Covetousness is not a vice. Lol.
Good show gentlemen. Enjoy.
I also own a smith and Wesson engraved E series beautiful craftsmanship! Your videos are awesome my friend! Always a pleasure to watch keep up the good work guys!!
charliedarknight i
Liz Solomon I seen it awesome video!!
I can't imagine ever accepting the trigger pull of any production 1911 the way it comes out of the box. 1911 triggers are highly adjustable with relative ease and can be tweaked to be amazing. But yes you have to be willing to tinker with the bits.
Nice video as usual guys. Like your style.
Definitely want a E series engraved .45acp!!!!
So I have a E series and it has ambi safety and mines the railed version don’t forget the titanium firing pin
Colby Cantrell Thank-you very much!!
Beretta Sr.
I have one and I love it Smith and Wesson 1911 45acp E Series engraved 😁
...Great Review/Comparison Beretta's Sr. & jr. As an old 1911 fan and son of a dearly departed 1911 Custom Pistol-smith I'll go with the Dan Wesson... for whatever reason the S&W just doesn't appeal to me as they were late to the party in the 1911 market and I just never warmed up to them! S&W Revolvers though and Shield Series are ACES ';-)
ConquestN98858 sounds reasonable to me. I have been shooting more and more 1911 pistols, and I must say I like them.
Beretta Sr.
So great gun sir ! How much did you pay for the first one ?
nice gun 1911..pistol I like it
Always the original The Colt ❤️
I'm a revolverman, but those looking nice. But I still like revolvers better.
Love the gung ho commando bs.
Dan Wesson is NO 1.
That's not creep. It's slack/pre-travel. All self loaders have it.
Valor is flagship model.
Really? Then why has that Dan Wesson 1911 been discontinued?
What do you think about the older Dan Wesson 1911 10mm ?
These two guys know what the heck they are doing/talking about. Subscribed! Liked the mag grab out the car door pocket lol
Brandon Karnes Thank-you Sir! We Appreciate your Sub very much. :)
Beretta Sr.
S&W E series seems like a really great buy. What is your favorite 1911 that you have owned or shot?
Harleyforever20 My 2 favorites right now, The Les Baer Stainless Custom Carry for $2299 and the Dan Wesson Specialist in Stainless For $1799?? Not 100% on the price of the DW, but the $1799 is close. In today's prices of $2800 to $4500 Wilsons, Nighthawks, and Ed Brown's, I think the pistols that I picked represent a very high quality example for a good price. You can spend less, but the quality is less also. Not saying that a Sig, Ruger, or Rock Island, or Smith and Wesson are not good 1911's and they are all good picks for less then $1,000. Like the Smith and Wesson 1911 in this video. Good Luck. Beretta Sr.
BERETTA9mmUSA thank you so much for the time to reply. I had a gut feeling you would say the Les Baer. It happens to be my favorite 1911 also. I traded a Para Black Ops away to get it. Mine is a Concept VIII . I love it! I shoot it very well. I really like your channel. I appreciate your work putting up videos.
Hey there guys love the channel, question, is that your sons 1911 dan wesson
Tourieq Van Der Sckyff I purchased both of the Dan Wesson's for myself, but he is trying very hard to talk me out of it. LOL. Beretta Sr.
The thumb safety in my E Series S&W seems lacking that “snap” - it works just fine but leaves something to be desired vs. my Colt. Then again, I payed much more for the Colt. Maybe I should leave it alone!
What a great Dad to have! But Mom is gonna be upset if you blow a hole in the BMW lol.
Just picked up DW Valkyrie.
Bald&curious what do you think of it . Was thinking of getting one myself
Just picked it up few days ago ,so far I love it. Have a video on my channel
I notice the Specialist is a factory blemished gun. Is there anything noticeable as to why its given the blem mark?
It was a small flat spot on the rail. About the size of a pea. I thought it was good fortune for almost a 20% savings. Great DW 1911. Some Blems have more things wrong, some have less. There is a page from the factory telling you what was wrong & why it is a less expensive Blem Model.
Best, Beretta9MMUSA Sr.
@@BERETTA9mmUSA thank you! My edc is a Dan Wesson ECP that is a factory blem. Mine supposedly has a finish blem on the slide but it’s completely unnoticeable. Perfect for carry. Keep up the good content.
Sweet guns
jeff fleser Thank-you Sir! We appreciate you watching and sending in the comment.
Beretta Sr.
The Valor is DW's flagship model, not the Specialist. Dw valor ftw
Lincoln O If you call the DW Reps they will tell you these 2 pistols are considered equal. Just to let you know. Years ago I thought the Valor was the Top of the Line DW also. I own 4 or 5 DW 1911's now. Beretta Sr.
Lincoln O just a quick update, the Dan Wesson Valor 1911 has been discontinued. So the Specialist carries on as DW’s flagship 1911. - B9USA
Expensive thing! ...but i can shoot it out anytime anywhere with my old faded RIA 1911.
Looks like Oregon
Wait a minute
All three of them need to be tuned after tuning all three the Sig is by far the most accurate the overall best gun is the Dan Wesson in the the Smith this number three all three are excellent 1911
Bro I shot this at range just as you say recoil smooth on s*w I put it against my tiger 345 and headshot target was night and day
VERYGOOD VERYGOOD
I have a DW black specialist. It runs like a scalded dog.
Chad Jordan Right on! We both hope to get allot more trigger time with our Dan Wesson 1911's in the next 12 months. :) Beretta Sr.
Chad Jordan i
I like these new Tactical style videos. You should get some action music in the background and please don't shoot your white BMW by accident.
Smith doesn't hold a candle to the Dan Wesson
Give it!!!.
I thought you had a stainless DW Specialist? Did you get another one?
Frankie Wesson Yes, we still have that wonderful Stainless one, and we added the Blued one. They are both very nice, but I would like to add a Valor in 2018. I think they are Excellent 1911 pistols. Beretta Sr.
I could be mistaken but pretty sure the Valor is their "flagship" model.
was*
Vinny Campanella Hi Sir, You are mostly correct, the Valor was considered the Top of The Line until the Specialist was born as like an equal, but the Tactical 1911 with Rail and all. According to the Dan Wesson Representatives that I talked with. If you spend any time with both Pistols, you can see that they are equal in almost every way. The Specialist Should Not Be Missed, check one out when you can, and see what you think. Thanks for watching and for the comment Sir. Have a fabulous weekend. 👍👊😎🇺🇸 Beretta Sr.
Dan Wessons are hand fitted, I’m fairly sure S&W are not.
I agree but would also ask what do you get with "hand fitting" in the Dan Wesson other than a $700 hole in your wallet? Both of these guns will go bang-bang-bang for a long time very reliably and accurately. Other than prestige, I think the difference is zilch.
Wow, what is this an action movie? Great job guys.
Mugabe Bakulu Baka We were trying to turn it up a bit. :) Beretta Sr.
Sig makes a very acceptable 1911 in the $1000 range
FloorGuys01 True, I still own 2 of them. They have been good shooters. Beretta Sr.
Save some bullets for the Zombie apocalypse 🤠
I just saw SW E series in .45 for $750...... daddy likey
Mr Beretta, have you ever fired the steyr m9?
Brandon Judkins No Sir, I have not..... I have had a couple Subscribers say they really like them allot.
Beretta Sr.
Hi Mr. BerettaUSA.
I just bought a gun SMITH & WESSON 1911 E series. I still cannot withdraw it until I have authorization. Is more accurate than a COLT original?
Kanion Argentina then the original Colts, I would say yes. The New Colts are about the same for accuracy as the New Smith&Wesson or Dan Wesson 1911’s..... they are all pretty excellent.
Mr. Beretta Sr. 😎👍
@@BERETTA9mmUSA Thanks Mr. BerettaUSA!
dumb question, what happen if you use 9mm in SW E series .45
It won’t work.
