I guess I'm just a simple guy......

I have been researching a new Commander sized 1911 for weeks now. I dug deep into literally EVERY manufcturer, every model, every option package....and settled a plain blue steel Colt Commander. I pick it up Tuesday! :D

[Hawkmoon]

Excellent choice, IMHO.

[fire_hunter988]

great choice. make sure you post pics.

[MCMIX]

A+ on your homework. You will enjoy.

[rnjj1219]

Good choice! I pick mine up on Monday.

[Hunter]

You chose very wisely, don't forget to post pictures when you get it.

[Long Rifle]

Agreed... excellent choice

My FIRST 1911 was a Colt back in 1986. Then I strayed... yes, I did, and I purchased many 1911s with differnet names stamped on them. I never felt the same way about them as I did my Colt.

So, I sold them all a few years ago, and now have 10 Colt 1911s of different flavors. Nothing feels the same to me.

I think they are the best, but that is always up for debate.

However.. I KNOW I like Colts the best.

[clughog]

Can't argue with you there. Will be looking for the pictures and range report!

[EchoBravoKilo]

Great choice -congratulations. Coltitis and Commanderitis will follow...

[d90king]

Congrats on your new Colt. The Commander is a great pistol.

Had to read that twice...thought it said "Colitis" the first time! :scared:

[Roger Norris]

Ha! Me too! I read "colitis" the first couple times...

Thanks, I will post pics when I get it.

Excellent choice.

[Joni Lynn]

Congrats on the Colt, probably the first of many. Remember to post the gratuitous pics please :D:D

[daveohno]

Congratulations, I'm sure you'll find your purchase to have been an excellent one!

You mean one like this?

Excellent choice, I am a known lover of Commanders (especially this one).

[Roger Norris]

Yep, just like that. Part of my reasoning, is that I have had it's "Big Brother"...a full sized Colt "Enhanced" 1911 that I bought new sometime in the mid 90's or so. I shoot it pretty regular, and it has never, ever jammed or hiccupped. I have never felt the need for any improvements over the factory offering.

[73Driver]

Congratulations on your Colt, the Commander was my first. While each of my Colts feels right for I use them for, if I could only have one Colt :scared: and had to use it for everything it would be my Commander.

Me too (...without question) ;).

Congrats on a great choice!

I see you are still claiming Steve's pistol! :D

[army_eod]

You did good. I have had other 1911s but there is much to be said for the original and best. I am waiting for my new Commnader to arrive.

There's a Nader pistol? As in Ralph Nader? Hope it's safe in ALL conditions.:D


(just kidding)

[Joni Lynn]

Yes, the Nader pistol, it's ok when shot over level ground but in the hills and corners it tends to roll over and shoot sideways.
