PIcked up a Colt Commander 1911 today to become my new carry piece. I also have a Glock but it's not with me as it is sitting in the safe. What do y'all think. How did I do?

One of the greatest pistols ever made.
(In before someone quotes me, crosses out "One of," and changes it to "THE"). 
I love my Combat Commander. You'll go back to the Glock for daily carry though. What will happen is, you will say "Gee, this Colt is so nice, I'd hate to lose it to the evidence locker if I ever did have to shoot someone, so I better switch back to the Glock instead."

The Commander was what made me fall in love with 1911's, actually a combat commander. I still think it's about the most perfect carry gun out there in terms of dimensions and controls. I do prefer more modern sights and a slightly extended thumb safety. Maybe a little more beveling at the mag well. None of that would make me feel poorly armed with the old school model though.
Good buy. |
