[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why do Commander versions cost more?

Posted: 5/31/2017 11:51:59 AM EDT

Any reason why Commander sized 1911's sell for aprox $40-$50 more than their 5" full size counterparts?
Statement seems mostly true, opinions?

Some prefer it for CCW to the Government model.

I was thinking fewer produced as stated above and of course if the market will bear the cost then why not?

My limited knowledge of production leads me to believe this.
It's been universal usually the more they make the cheaper it is.
