Combat Commander...what's its niche?

I do now and have always loved the balance of the Combat Commander. It just feels right in your hand. I bought mine new in 75 through a friend before I got my FFL, to carry at work as private security at an electronics firm in the metroplex. Back then, you could carry on private property without a security guard license. Fortunately, never had to unholster it, but 1 night it got close. A drunk truckdriver whose estranged wife worked there, showed up "looking" for her. He told me that no matter how big I was, he could "take me", and I told him I believed him enough that if it came to that, I would shoot him till he stopped. He looked at the .45 and said he liked my honesty, strolled out and never came back. I have always qualified with it for my CCW, and carry it on rare occasions, usually opting for the P32 out of laziness in a pocket. It's still my pride and joy though. Had the slide industrial teflon coated years ago by a friend in Houston, and I like the black slide with satin Nickel frame. It has MMC adjustable rear, long trigger, and flat mainspring because after years of trial and error, they fit me. The seriel No. starts with 70, and it is a shooter

Someone must have found this the same way I did. I did a search for Colt Commander, and there it was. I didn't realize there was anything current on it until I got to the end.
