Roads were icy here in colorado today but needed to run down to the store. also stopped into the local pawn shop just for kicks to see what they might have.
They had a 98% condition manf. date 1970 Colt commander in 9mm. It is the one with the frame marked clw serial number prefix. nice early 4 digit number also. just a great looking 1911. Always wanted one of the 9mm ones with the steel frame.
Walked out with it for $699 total. looks like it might of had a box of rounds threw it and with those brown colt plastic grips it kinda matches my 1970 govt model 45. in nickle.
Funny thing is I sold my glock 23 two weeks ago with the ideal of buying a newer model glock to carry. have been carring my 1941 ppk the last couple of weeks but now I plan on using this as my normal carry pistol. Could not be more happy.
