Just surfing Colts on gunbroker and saw this. It’s a lmtd run done for Lew Horton and called the Lt Commander. 3.5 inch cone barrel and a bushing on a full size lightweight frame. Usually guns with barrels this short just have the cone barrel and no bushing right?
Either way it’s a nice gun. No idea on value compared to asking price but still neat.

Colt Officers ACP used a very short bushing and a unique recoil spring plug.

My SA Ultra Compact (Officers) doesn’t use one.

Here’s another one.

Yeah by the time I got thru all 374 Colt Commanders in GB I saw several. There was also one called the ‘Night Commander’ that was black with rubber grips but in similar configuration.

This was a run for Lew Horton done in late 80s, 1989 I believe on this one. A bit different than the Night Commanders listed now.

The Colt Officers ACP and later Compact had the bushing. Below my 2000 Compact apart. I bought it used with an aftermarket trigger that bothered my finger so it is apart to fit a new trigger in it.



And back together with the new trigger and stocks from Altamont on it.



I bought this guy for about $600 and it is nice that companies like EGW and others make parts for them. The recoil spring in the Compact is not original but a Wolff replacement.

Hey, Dakota- how does that setup shoot? I have a similar build in 9mm that's in progress right now. Bar-Sto barrel and bushing on mine.
