It's a lwt alloy that S&W uses to make some 1911s and revolver out of.

that's real cute GMT.

thanks for the info though.

so does Scandium jack up the price quite a bit or are they about the same as other alloys?

my personal preference is a full size para ordnance

Heres mine. The only problem is that the Kimber can take upwards of 1000 rounds before they're broke in. I know thats a bunch but I just can't imagine being happier with something different.

i'd just assume carry a full size. the only concealment issues iv'e had with my carry gun is the length of the grip. barrell length has not been a problem

My carry is a Kimber compact and is super reliable. have put well 2500 rounds through it and have not had a flaw one. Very accurate for a compact too.

The compact is the officers size frame and a 4" barrel, right?
