Getting it narrowed down......

to a Colt XSE LW Commander, a S&W Sc Commander or a Dan Wesson Bobtail Commander, all in .45. Since they all cost about the same, would appreciate opinions as to which to choose. Thanks!

racka,

I can't be too helpful regarding comparisons, I haven't shot the S&W or the Dan Wesson, but I have handled them. I own the Colt LW XSE Commander, and it's my daily carry. I own seven 1911's in officer, commander, and full size. The Colt LW XSE is my daily carry. It's balance and ease of presentation is better than any of the others. It is as accurate if not more so than all but my full size set up for bullseye shooting. I'm sure that the S&W is a fine weapon and so is the Dan Wesson - I'm not sure if the bobtail is of any real consideration for concealment, but others may disagree. The light weight of the LW was one of the deciding factors for me, the accuracy and balance were extraordinarily good surprises. The quality of my Colts are second to none. Just my .02

Welcome to the forum. You have narrowed it down to some good choices but my vote goes to the Colt XSE LW Commander.

I agree that you have whittled things down to the best common denominators. Mike and Hunter have advised you well. My LW XSE Commander is my daily carry piece, and I am very satisfied with it.

Wise choice. ;)

I would say the plain Jane Colt Combat Commander. Hey Rio, where is that picture I like?

Good choice. When you get her home how about a few pictures for the forum?
