commander

I had a great conversation today that has furthered my understanding of the 1911. Furthered my understanding by an inch so don't expect enlightenment. The conversation and demonstration led down the dangerous path of reliability. in this conversation I was shown slide length and rearward travel...

So I have a Wilson LW Professional in 9mm. The prefect carry pistol right? But when I carry it I feel under gunned. What do I do? I grab a 1911 inf 45acp. Then I think I need a few more rounds and grab a Sig 365 or Glock 19 in 9mm and I'm ok. I think I need therapy, LOL.

Started looking and other than some frankenguns and a couple 80% frames... Not seeing anything... Other than the Wilson Combat X9 or Experior .. Sort of...

What are some nice, but responsibly priced commander sized 1911s, that aren’t Colt? Other than the obviously RIA, and all the kinda iffy Turkish imports, what is there?

DW factory "Shadow" cocobolo wood grips for bobbed commanders. I was told these were the "custom order slim" bobtail grips. Gently used but in perfect condition. I believe the Shadow stipple design are the ones that came stock on the Guardian. I bought them from a local seller for a V-Bob...

Hey addicts. Kind of a addicts dilemma. I really want a two tone pistol. Thinking about refinishing my 1990s era Series 80 Colt Commander in two tone. Then I recently saw the Springfield Ronin in Commander again. I can get a brand new two tone steel frame commander for $850-$900. But I’d have...

I'm in the market for another Commander (4.25") 9mm Have a Valkyrie & love its versatility. Wouldn't mind all steel , frame & slide but aluminum frame / steel slide seem more common due to weight savings I guess I'd want good quality without breaking the bank . Looking forward to...

This one is back up for sale... It's an awesome gun, I just need to free up funds if possible as my wedding approaches. I bought this new in May, it has a test fire date of May 6th, 2020!! I cleaned it, took it to the range and put exactly 60 flawless rounds through it, cleaned it again and put...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but old Colts are new to me. Is there a WC magazine that will work with my 1979 Combat Commander in 9mm? I just spoke to WC customer service and they didn't know. If not Wilson, what other mags would you recommend. Thanks

I posted the other day about getting a Commander 9mm to use as the platform for a custom build. I'm happy to report that I spoke to Ted and pulled the trigger on this late 70's Combat Commander 9mm. I'm local to Ted and will be dropping this off next week. So excited! Also, thanks to everyone...
