Pistol #1 was (is) an early Colt Series 80 Combat Commander in stainless, purchased back in 1989. Due to the cost of .45 ammo, it mostly guards the safe.
I had just become aware of the truth about the Second Amendment and gun ownership, so decided to exercise my Constitutional right.
Logic said, "Get a .22," but I wanted a 1911, as close to GI as I could find. Springfield Armory's 1911-A1s were out, but I couldn't find one. I had recently read Mas Ayoob's very positive review of the Commander, and a friend at a pawn shop had a NIB on hand. 'Want' won, so the Commander went home, and it has been a winner.
I had an ambi safety installed, and an arched mainspring housing.
It is my "If I could only have one gun" gun.
