Found this one at my favorite shop: an all-original (wood grips, tiny sights, dinky safety) pre-series 80 Colt in electroless nickel (serial number 70SC5xxxx). Finish looks very good, except for some minor rubbing where the gun was holstered. I love the balance of the commander-length slide, steel frame and curved backstrap.
The chance to own an all-steel Colt is very tempting, even if I am not a fan of the .45 ACP cartridge (albeit strictly from a cost standpoint). Anyone have direct experience with the Combat Commander? How much is too much for one of these suckers?
Thanks.
