About the Smith & Wesson SW1911 DK

The Smith & Wesson SW1911 DK is a subcompact semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, introduced by Smith & Wesson in 2005. The pistol features a carbon steel frame and a carbon steel slide, providing a durable platform designed for years of reliable service in both duty and civilian applications. With a magazine capacity of 8 rounds, this pistol offers ample firepower for defensive applications. The 5.0-inch barrel maximizes the ballistic potential of the .45 ACP cartridge while providing a generous sight radius that enhances accuracy at all practical distances. Weighing 1077g (38.0 oz) empty, this pistol provides enough mass to dampen felt recoil while remaining practical for holster carry and extended range sessions. Smith & Wesson's semi-automatic pistol designs draw on over 170 years of firearms manufacturing expertise, combining proven engineering principles with modern materials and manufacturing techniques to deliver reliable, accurate handguns trusted by military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters worldwide.

Smith & Wesson has been manufacturing firearms in Springfield, Massachusetts since 1852, making them one of the oldest and most respected names in the American firearms industry, with their revolvers and pistols serving in virtually every major conflict and law enforcement agency worldwide.
