Colt defender verses s & w 1911 pro series

Recommended Posts

Both have a 3 inch barrel.  Has anyone fired both for comparison?  I’m familiar with the colt.  Very little recoil even with 230 grain ammo.   I often prefer 185 grain hollow point though , probably because my first police chief , a Vietnam vet and competitive shooter preferred it.  
 

the colt is accurate but I wonder if the pro series is more accurate.

I've handled both, have not shot the Defender, but have gotten to shoot several of the S&W 1911s. All were very accurate and 100% reliable.

I have a Defender...actually, a Night Defender.  It's a limited edition from TALO.  Shoots great, prefers 185 grain JHP (I have several boxes of Black Hills 185 laid back for it).  

 

I do have the E series S&W 1911 in a commander length.  It's a great pistol.  I can't speak on the 3" S&W 1911.
