I've been looking at Commanders for a while now for my 2nd 1911 (1st is in my avatar) and I have settled on the blued 1991 Commander, model O4691. Is there anything I should know about this particular pistol? Is the 1991 a good gun? Thanks.
Edit-Is the trigger on the 1991 the same length as on my Loaded? My gun has a long 3 hole trigger. |

I have a 1991A1 that I bought new about 2 years ago. It is unmodified and is my every day carry pistol. I have fired well over 1000 rds through it with zero stoppages or malfunctions. It is not a match grade shooter, but I didn't pay match grade shooter prices for it either. 4 inches @ 25 yrds will get the job done if I ever need to use it to defend myself or others. Well, actually, it is modified. I put soft rubber grip stocks on it instead of the rosewood with which it was originally fitted. Other than that, she is bone stock. |

Carried mine for years before I upgraded to a lightweight frame.
Downsides: Tenon front sight. That limits your options if you want to replace it, and finding a smith who is willing to stake a tenon is well night impossible these days. Of course, anyone with a bridgepiort is happy to cut a dovetail. Series 80, so slightly worse trigger than one free of such silliness. Plastic Trigger Shoe Plastic MSH. Steel frame, so heavy for a carry gun. I've never actually seen any issue with the plastic MSH, they are lightweight and work. Here is my Officer (which Colt called a Compact)

They're good shooters and a great platform for custom builds. The Trigger and MSH are Nylon or they were on the older guns (ORM's). Here is mine that has had some custom work. <a href="http://s46.photobucket.com/user/kaneman23/media/20140414_170743.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/kaneman23/20140414_170743.jpg</a> <a href="http://s46.photobucket.com/user/kaneman23/media/20140414_170918.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/kaneman23/20140414_170918.jpg</a> I like that
