Just picked up my new Colt Gunsite Commander. I have a range session set up tomorrow so will post a report then. My first impression is very nice. Unlike the Government version this came with a front night sight (5" has a plain black) and a higher cut front strap. I'll be swapping out the thin grips for standard width grips and putting in an EGW checkered mainspring housing. That's about all prior to hitting the range.

The box is marked "Custom Shop" like the 5". Obligatory quick pics without even wiping the oil off of it

Looks great! Congrats on the acquisition.

 

[WhoIsJohnGalt?]

Nice - congrats!

 

[Doc45]

Thanks, just field stripped and it has the double recoil springs. I’ll be interested to see how it shoots/feels, depending on those impressions I may go with a single down the road.

 

[Doc45]

Cleaned, lubed, grips swapped, mags loaded-range ready!

Congrats!

That's a good-looking pistol.

 

[Moad]

Awesome! Really like the grips and grip screws.

Did you have to change grip bushings?

Enjoy!

 

[Doc45]

I didn't change the bushings, yet. I'm using the o rings from Challis with standard length hex head screws.

Congrats, looking forward to your range review.

 

[Old Sea Dragon]

In for your range report, nice looking pistol!

 

[ILED93]

Congrats. Interested to see how it performs at the range.

 

[swampgas]

Makes me want one

 

[Raylan Givens]

Very nice, OP

 

[Usp45ct]

Looks plain to me which in this case is a good thing....like a sleeper car. Built for performance and all business. Could become a must have in 2020 despite me formulating a no feeding my addiction in 2020 resolution.


Thanks....thanks a lot.


How’s it shoot? You know, asking for a friend.

 

[Doc45]

Yeah I like the subdued appearance of these pistols. Range session this afternoon, will report back after.

 

[dasroofr]

I really like the no-frills appearance. Like all others, awaiting a range report!!!

A fine looking Thurobread Pony (AKA Colt ) indeed
a real stern look looking animal. :happy:

 

[BillKilgore]

Congrats on the new Commander.

What does the Custom Shop do to set a Gunsite Commander apart from a regular production Commander.

I have a standard lightweight Commander on my hip as I write this. It's my constant companion.

That’s a great looking pistol. I’d like to hear how the grip screws stayed put with the combo you did. I liked yours so much, I pulled my Combat Commander and SSII out of the safe and holster box, and put my Ultra Raptor up. Headed to the range tomorrow for a reacquaintence prior to EDC.
