Ok,
First question: I've got a lead on a Colt Commander for very reasonable money, but I'm still not sure if it's the steel frame or alloy frame. I'm a fan of all steel firearms and my concern is that, if indeed it is the alloy frame model, it won't hold up. Is there any reason for me to be concerned about this? I've read nothing but positive things about the Commander series but I still had to ask!
Second question:
I've got a Chinese Contract Inglis Hi-Power, made in 1944 that I bought a while back for a very good price. Reason being is that the importer scrubbed all the markings except for the serial numbers and refinished it. Since the price was so fair, I thought it would make a nice addition to my collection of Hi-Powers, collectable or not. Now, I'm growing weary of this gun in its current state. Problem is, it's EXTREMELY inaccurate due to lots of movement from the tangent sight. It's a very cool piece but pretty much unusable at this point! So, what would YOU do if you had this gun???
