Are Beauty and the Beast different creatures? Smith & Wesson has one of the most attractive 9mm 1. SW1. 91. 1 9mm Pro. The Pro is a full- size 1. As you can see from the above picture, the slide features modern sculptured sides, which not only provide a distinctive look but reduce weight, and the Ro. Co wood grips are beautiful and also feel great. Yes, I discovered you can indeed partially “judge a book by its cover.” While not the most important variable by far, classy appearance is a criterion for me, albeit #1. I was impressed with its eye- catching appearance, but what about its reliability, trigger press, balance, fit and finish, ergonomics, accuracy, etc. While some think a 1. I like them in 9mm IF it functions very well without feeding and extraction problems and being finicky with ammo and magazines. Some 1. 91. 1s in 9 mm have feeding and extraction problems. For me, I think a 9mm 1. But, it must be reliable and accurate, without having to spend a lot of bucks for adding or upgrading sights, triggers, match- grade barrels, magazines, mag well, etc. Certainly, 9mm ammo is less costly than . Today’s improved 9mm cartridges (especially hollow points and +P) with their increased velocities and muzzle energies, penetration, and expansion properties make them effective for most situations. Given our present ammo limitations and the high- cost differential between 9 mm and . I just want to go to the range and plink frequently, comfortably, accurately, and have fun at a reasonable cost. I don’t want to worry about malfunctions, stoppages, jams, feeding issues, mag compatibility, and reliability issues. I have plenty of guns, but really like a 1. So, is the SW 1. 91. Pro 9 mm a viable option? Will it live up to all my expectations? Well, I shot it and studied it, and want to offer my opinions. First though, here are the SW 1. Pro 9mm Specifications: SW 1. Pro Series 9 mm. Caliber. Action/Trigger. Single Action; 4 – 5. Press. Barrel Length. The top two criteria are most important to me and I considered the Pro primarily for IDPA, fun range plinking, and as a home defense backup gun, not for concealed carry or other uses. Just for your information, “Pro Series” means that the parts that make up this 9mm 1. S& WPerformance. Center and the well- known S& W Custom Shop. Assembly is done in the production facility and with the custom features results in an upgraded, better- than- production- quality (entry custom) gun at a moderate production quality price. My process is to assign a total possible point score of 1. You can certainly add your own additional criteria or desires and subtract any of mine. Trigger Press maximum of about 5. Trigger with short travel distance (a short travel distance increases the speed the trigger can be fired) and easily identifiable and short reset point; Trigger with consistent press for every shot (less need to transition between presses & make adjustments); 4. Barrel length of about 5. Sights that are basic & simple (easy to use & see; fast target acquisition; for my purposes- adjustable for windage and elevation- for Range Targets & IDPA); 6. Proper Gun Weight to minimize recoil (I prefer 3. IDPA, Range use, & home defense); Larger, heavier pistols tend to be more accurate GENERALLY than smaller ones, due to their fit in the hand, their reduced recoil (the weight of the gun tends to absorb more recoil & reduce muzzle flip) and stability); the weight of one pistol can cause fatigue faster than another (different for every shooter) & once fatigued, accuracy can suffer; 7. Caliber match to your needs, characteristics & abilities (consider medical & physical limitations); 9mm is my preference; 8. Capacity of at least 9 in a 9mm magazine, but prefer 1. Ergonomics – Hand Comfort and Fit, controls easy to work and easily accessible; and. Miscellaneous – Finish, Tight Fit, & Appearance; Extras (like magwell, checkered front strap, hand- polished feedramp, full- length guide rod, wood and/or good grips, company representatives friendly, helpful, & good service); Ease of Disassembly- Assembly; etc. SW 1. 91. 1 Pro Series 9 mm in Galco Holster. Initial Inspection. Up close I was impressed with the Pro’s smooth and classy silver finish and, unlike some of the other 9 mm 1. I shook it. It appeared to have tight tolerances and a great fit, but I had to shoot it before any conclusions. The Ro. Co wood grips are beautiful and function well for me. They have a palm swell that fills the hand nicely and the texture allows for a very secure grip, even with my medium- sized sweaty hands. With the Ro. Co grips, the checkering on the front strap and main spring housing, I had no trouble keeping a secure grip while drawing from my Galco holster, shooting, moving, and reloading. I really like that S& W shrunk the size of their name and logo on the left side of the slide and included the words Pro Series in cursive on the right. Elegant and not flashy and too big, like some others. Some claim that an external extractor helps with smoother and more efficient extractions and quicker ejections. The Pro has an external extractor with a big claw for pulling spent cases from the chamber and ejecting them out of the lowered and flared ejection port. So again, let me shoot it to decide for myself. The SW1. 91. 1 Pro’s frame has many of the features that are normally seen only on custom- built pistols. Metal has been removed from under the trigger guard so you can get a high grip on the pistol and the frontstrap and mainspring housing both feature 3. These contribute to the Pro’s excellent feel and handling. It comes standard with a full- length guide rod for increased reliability while its five- inch, match- grade barrel (fully ramped) has a precision- crowned muzzle for optimum accuracy. It does have a hand- polished integral feed ramp. SW Pro Digested Federal American Eagle 1. Grain FMJ 9 mm Easily. It has ambidextrous thumb safeties, extended slide release, magazine release button and a beavertail grip safety with a palm swell. These enhance its ergonomics and reloading speed. The beavertail palm swell improves the grip for recoil control and fast follow- up shots. The Pro has a nice, moderately- sized extended magazine well that helps funnel in the included two Wilson 1. I can notice the difference significantly when shooting a 1. The magwell and Main Spring Housing are steel. The firing pin safety is like a blend of the Colt and Kimber- style safeties and is operated by the grip safety, like the Kimbers. I had no problems with it on the Pro. One minor observation (that I hesitate to even mention for fear of planting an erroneous seed of concern for you) was that the trigger seemed just a little loose, but pressing it without ammo loaded did not affect the trigger press any at all and it was clean and crisp. I was anxious to see if I noticed this or any effects when I shot it at the range. Range Report. After shooting and observing the SW 1. Pro in 9mm, here’s my report. I shot it on 2 different days, with the first session shooting 1. First, I want to say that what follows are just my opinions and observations. While it met and exceeded ALL of my above Criteria, you must try it for yourself. Without any doubt, it was THE smoothest and fun shooting 1. I have shot, including the several I own and others I have reviewed. It is a great handgun for IDPA ESP Division competition and certainly fun plinking, even as a home defense backup. Yards – My First 1. Shots (Honest and I’m not a great shot)Hits at 7 and 1. Hits at 2. 0 yds. The accuracy of the Pro- 9mm was excellent and effortless for me at medium distances of 7, 1. Despite my less than average eyesight and average marksmanship, this senior guy was able to shoot decent groups, with the gun doing a lot of the work. I did not have to adjust the rear sight at all, out of the box. All of my groups of about 1. Galco holster. My close- up hits at 7 yards made a ragged 2. For better comparison to my other 1. I did not shoot hollow points. The trigger was not a problem whatsoever and functioned perfectly. Certainly not great marksmanship by me, but it was really enjoyable and fun to shoot the 1. Pro. I just couldn’t believe how easy it was to make the hits, the press was short, soft, and crisp, and the recoil was very minimal for this average shooter. It seemed I just had to hold the gun and let it do its thing. Great fun! Given my past experiences and my knowledge of 1. I was certainly impressed with the Pro’s reliability. I experienced no malfunctions, stoppages, feeding problems, extraction nor ejection issues, with various ammo brands, bullet weights, and magazines. I used the 2 included Wilson Combat 1. Tripp Research Cobra 1. Wilson ETM 1. 0- round mags without any problem. This 1. 91. 1 Pro 9 mm was not at all finicky and digested every ammo brand and even all reloads smoothly. I used Blazer Brass, Federal, Winchester White Box, Aguila, and quality reloads in 1. FMJ. It did not jam with the heavier 1. Federal American Eagle 1. I may use a lighter recoil spring (#1. I did concentrate on controlling limp wristing, not riding the slide, and on a steady, firm grip with a locked wrist. It was almost too good to be true, given my previous 1. The Wilson mags worked really nice and probably were a significant performance factor. I may buy some less expensive Metalform 9- rounder mags with the metal follower, again just in case. But, the polymer followers did fine and are acceptable. Another significant factor is that I always thoroughly clean and lubricate new guns before shooting them. Accuracy and Reliability were BOTH excellent with this gun. The trigger press out of the box averaged about 4. SW1. 91. 1 Pro 9mm, with 6 readings with my Lyman Electronic Trigger Pull Gauge. It was not broke in yet after only firing 2. For comparison, my other (broke- in) single- actions Sig 1. Match Elite . 4. 5 has a 5.
