I had a Duty Coated Specialist commander 9mm and foolishly sold it. Was a very accurate gun and carried nice. I added a short trigger and thin grips so it worked great with my stubby fingers.

Only issues I had with it would've been solved with more training but at the time I just didn't want to invest the time in that platform when my striker guns worked great also.

Maybe some day I'll get another Specialist or maybe a Valor.

I did the same thing. Big hands stubby fingers. Thin grips and a short trigger solve that. My 2016 Specialist commander 9 mm is the only 1911 I’ve ever owned that has never had a single hiccup. The only thing I don’t care for about it is that the weight on the steel frane makes the recoil so little that it feels like a 22. I prefer a little more feedback in my guns. That’s why I sold off all of my big CZ boat anchors years ago. Believe it or not, I like the recoil impulse of a Glock or an M&P better.

If I could find a 9mm Specialist Commander, I'll be good.

I have a lead on one!

Maybe someone else already mentioned this. From the title, I assumed you were an old man (like me) venting about doctors appointments! I wish my “specialists” were made by DW! Orthopedic surgeon, cardiologist, gastroenterologist, physical therapist, hormone dr, etc…. Those are are my d@mnded specialists!!

No. VZ black cherry diamond thin grips.
I wish I got ones that were a little lighter in color to offset the black duracoat.
