Anyone have anymore info on this 1911?

[Cole54]

I bought this sw1911 last friday.

I was planning on having the local gun shop order me a standard sw1911 but, when me and my roommate went to pick up his SR1911, he had this sitting in the shop already. Said it was the TALO special edition, it looks damn good and was still in my price range I had set for myself so I said what the hell and got it. Now I'm trying to find info on it like how many there are and what not but can't seem to come up with much of anything. Anybody know anything about it? Checked the TALO site and its not even listed, but I've found others for sale online that are listed as TALO so I would think its legit. Any info would be great, love the gun regardless, just want to know more about it.

When i am able to purchase my first 1911 i will be looking at these again. This pistol just felt so right in my hand that it hurt to put it down.

Looks like a standard E series S&W 1911 with special talo Grips and 2 tone treatment.

I second the motion regarding SW E series 1911 two tone.

If I think of it, when I swing by the S&W booth at NRA 2012 tomorrow, I'll ask about it. I forgot to ask today, it was a busy and distracting day. There is alot to take in at this type of show.

Diggin' the two tone and the fish scales on that beauty! Congrats on scoring a sweet piece.

A simple search on google "sw1911 talo" brought this up (first link).

My new Baby: SW1911 E-Series TALO Edition - SWEET!

Thanks for the comments guys, found a link for one for sale that said it was one of 500.

It is in fact a TALO exclusive. Pretty much a standard E-Series S&W 1911, save for the special grips and the black IonBond finish on the slide.

That's a beauty. Are the front slide serrations a different color, or is it just the way the light is hitting it?

I tried to talk to the Smith rep that would know about it but I unfortunatley missed the gentleman who handles those accounts. I spoke to another Smith rep and his best guess (since it wasn't part of his area in the perf shop) is that apparently it that particular E-Series is probably a Talo (not his account) and goes through the performance shop, but just gets the grips and black slide/silver frame. He doesnt believe that it gets any performance parts/tuning, but couldn't be sure. I tried, but I litterally just missed the rep who would know by 2-3 minutes as he went to lunch.

All the same color on the slide, just the way the light is hitting it

Thanks man, I'm not too worried about finding out all about the gun. I know it is a TALO for sure and it shoots above my skill level right now haha so i'm happy with it. But I appreciate the effort man
