I don't actually have a Specialist - I have a full sized Government size Valor.@trickg, how do you like the sites on the Specialist? They look like they'd take some getting used to.
Actually love my Sig 1911 C3. Bought in 2013 before all the craziness.

Any thoughts on the SW1911SC E series scandium framed 45acp? 4.25 inch, 28oz.

Not new to handguns,, but I'm a bit a 1911 neophyte... but for features I'm looking for:
- Commander profile, 4" barrel
- match trigger
- tritium night sites
- front slide serrations
- rails incorporated on the frame
- extended beavertail
- match barrel
- skeletonized hammer
- .45 ACP
Essentially, I'm looking for a 1911 that will be concealable with the common modern enhancements that is high quality and will be reliable. Doesn't need to be a NIB $3500 Wilson, but I'm also in the camp of its better to have fewer but higher quality firearms.
I take your point though, I've got some homework to do. I've been scanning the 1911 forum as well learning.
I ended up going with the Dan Wesson Specialist Commander in .45 ACP. Has everything I was looking for, and fit within my $2K budget (not including transfer fees). Thanks gents, I appreciate all of the feedback and opinions shared.
don’t forget, we’re all holding our breath!
