Are the front serrations custom or is that one just newer than mine?



That's the way it came. I bought it in June of this year.

I don't really know how old it is but I bought it new from a local dealer although I believe he got it as long as a year or so ago. It was ordered for someone that changed their mind and bought something else. New Colt Commanders are listed on the Colt site under the XSE Series.

Ooooohhh - sweet. I'm no Goliath, but I'm big enough to conceal a Commander and I love the size.

The Gold Cup has a narrower Hood than the government does, IT may be an aftermarket Match grade Barrel but it ain't from a Gold Cup

My baby,



*The pistol is a Series 80 Colt that was given the complete works by
the late Russ Carniak. The work done includes:

*Other than the barrel (Colt), and Mainspring Housing (S&A),
components are Wilson. Components (barrel, hammer, etc) were hand fitted as appropriate.

*Slide was cut for Wilson Nite-Eyes night sites.

*Ejection port lowered

*Corners were smoothed.

Here's mine... an orginal Colt 1911 made in 1918. A little rusty but the grandfather of all the others! Keep in mind this went thru WWI and I have documentation that it went thru WW2 also. It's older then most of you here.

That's sad to see =(

Such a gun deserves some cleaning up! Don't let it rust away!
