Show Me Your 1911 Commanders

[EdLaver]

THR members please post pics of your Commander size 1911s. I love the balance of the Commander size over the full size government model. Thinking about picking one up, I don't know how many manufacturers offer the Commander size though.

Thanks,
Ed

It's a so-so picture, but it's the only pic I have.

AC commander

this is at the lower end of the spectrum (as far as 1911's go) but......it is a decent firearm for the $$. bluing is excellent, very deep.

I really wish that I could ... but I traded it back in ~1978.

I picked this up a few weeks ago. Reliability and function is good. Wanted something I could carry and not worry about scratching like my Kimber.

You are correct, I'd forgotten...so no Kimber or Springfield qualify.

Which others?

My wife's MKIV stainless. I've since added a wilson drop-in beavertail. Zero malfunctions so far with Colt mags. quite accurate.
