Finally found a SR1911 commander after waiting forever to get one. It is not the lightweight version, steel frame and slide assembly. The trigger is just a hair different than my full size 1911 and seems to have a little bit of creep prior to firing (dry firing only so far). The feel is much different than the full sized 1911 which really surprised me. It's very comfortable and I put a set of Pachmayr grips on it. Reason for not wanting a lightweight is: in the 1980's Colt tried that with the 1911,s and the slide would wear. I do think with the metallurgy that we have now that might not be a problem, however I am of the old school thinking therefore justifying the steel on steel. Can't go to the range this Sunday as usual however I will try it out next week and give some feedback. Any feedback from anyone on here that owns a commander, I would sure like to hear your comments. Right now I am excited and antsy and ready to head to the range!!!!!!!
