Soooo .... I didn't have 1911 in my Collection. Picked this one up today. I haven't shot it yet.



Colt LW Commander.

Congratulations.  You got one now and it looks like a dandy.  I assume LW is for light weight.  How much does it weigh?

Thanks! I hope it's a good one. yes it's a lightweight (supposedly) 28.6oz w/ Unloaded 8rd magazine.

Ah, that's light enough for daily carry.  I'm sorta in the market for a gun such as that.  Enjoy.

Took it to the range last weekend. 150rds of 230gr FMJ without failure. Mix of PMC Bronze and Federal. it sure does fling the hell out of the brass though. it was going a good 15-20ft. all in the same place though. I've ordered a GI Style guide rod, plug and 20lb recoil spring. I'm not fond of the full length and maybe a stiffer spring will tame the ejection a little.



The Colt magazines worked fine. I bought a Wilson 47D just in case there were problems. it actually was really tight at first, but loosened up the more we used it. I ordered another.



the thumb safety is scratching the finish on the frame, which is of kind of annoying. there is a sharp edge on the trigger's over travel adjustment hole. Other than that, no problems so far.



MY S.O. Really liked it. I might be "needing" another one soon.
