Well, there is one more thing to learn.
The dust cover length is merely cosmetic, a Commander slide on a G.M. frame will have some overlap; a G.M. slide on a Commander frame would expose recoil spring.
The Commander's frame rails are shorter than a G.M. placing the recoil abutment about a tenth of an inch farther to the rear. This done to recover part of the slide travel lost to shortening the barrel and slide. A Commander slide on a G.M. receiver will have less slide travel than either stock gun. Sometimes they will still work OK, sometimes they won't.
Another cosmetic, the Commander's rear frame "horns" are different from G.M. and grip safeties differ.
I refer to real Colt pistols, not copies often described by inaccurate model names.
