The Provenance

A Pistol Given

❦

This pistol was given to my wife by her grandfather. She took it through a four-day handgun training course at Sure Shot in Las Vegas, carried it as her everyday-carry for a season, and shot it occasionally at the range. Around a thousand rounds in total, all documented and consistent with the wear you see.

She is not a .45 ACP shooter anymore. The pistol has been sitting in the safe, well cared for, and we would rather see it go to someone who will actually carry or shoot it than have it continue to age on a shelf.

What follows is an honest account of the gun, what is included, and the asking price. The S&W SW1911PD is the scandium-alloy lightweight variant of the 1911 platform — about twenty-eight ounces of carry-friendly weight in a full-size, all-steel-feeling pistol. A working sidearm, not a safe queen.

The Ammunition

❦

Roughly five hundred forty-five rounds of .45 ACP, in original boxes — primarily steel-case TulAmmo FMJ for range work, with a box of Winchester JHP for carry.

1 Winchester.45 ACP JHP — carry / defense load ~45 rds
11 Total Boxes ≈ 545 rds
Honest disclosure

TulAmmo is steel-case, not brass. It feeds reliably in most 1911s and is fine for range work; some shooters prefer brass for reloading or for older guns. Listing it accurately so there are no surprises.
