I had a full sized and loved it. Good to know their Commander is getting the same good reviews. |

I have both and love them both. For the money you can'ty hardly beat what you get from looks to performance. I know looks is in the individual, but I love stainless guns. Both of mine have been 100% since out of the box.

At their price point, I'd say Ruger appears to have done very well with this one. I might have to pick one up myself.

Steel frames on these guns?

I've been happy with my fullsize. One of their Commander models is on my list of things to acquire.

Steel frames on these guns? ya but not that great and not impressed with the coating or whatever, both the sr's i had to go back for their rusting/finish problems, and yes i kept the gun uber clean and too k care of it. They shot decent...Full of MIM parts as yo ucan expect for the price. had the front site break off twice , while shooting it and something else, |

I have the full-size and CMD variants (both with steel frames) and I've been very pleased with both. Neither is a Wilson CQB or a Les Baer Premier II but they didn't cost as much either.
Very solid 1911's the for money and they're better than some of their more expensive "production gun" counterparts. |

I've had the Full-Size Govt. SR for some time now, love it, no failures yet, well over 600 rounds through it. Very accurate for me. I didn't like the little guide rod and put in a Wilson Combat full-length guide rod kit.
I finally found a CMD this past December and got it as I wanted to have the "set" and it is every bit as nice as my full size. I have about 200 rounds down it. I also put a Wilson Combat CMD full-length guide rod kit in it as well. I also use Wilson mags, been using them in all my 1911s over the years. Ruger has a "lightweight" Commander listed on the website now - gonna have to get that too!

Yes stainless will rust because of the carbon in it which gives it it's strength but it is a LOT less likely to if properly cared for.bJust about every produstion gun on the market is full of mim parts and with the quality of todays mim, I am not even remotly worried about mine. For the last couple of years they have been flawless just like my Springfields. |

Just picked up a Lightweight Commander, shoots great and has eaten everything so far (FMJ, JHP and lead SWC). The aluminum frame really cuts weight too.
