So my lovely wife has agreed to let me get a new pistola for Christmas after i let her get a shiny new ring.
I am planning on using this weapon as my primary CCW.
I have handled each and overall i am leaning towards the Colt. My main complaint against the GI are the GI sights. That being said, the springer is $510 at the gun shop and the Colt commander is $720.
After upgrading the sights on the springer I am looking at being about 650 dollars into it anyways so would it be better to just go ahead and get the commander?
Is the .25" difference in barrel length between the Colt (4.25) and Springer (4.00) of any concern as far as reliability?
It looks like the springer has an arched mainspring housing which was not comfy to me when handled and the commander has a standard mainspring housing similar to my para. It also looks like the springer has a parkerized finish vs the colt with a blued finish.
Ok enough of my rambling. Which should I get? I am currently leaning towards the Commander but just wanted to run it by you guys due to the extreme wealth of knowledge here.
