Thank you.

That is the test target that came with the gun. I have not had a chance to put any rounds down range yet.

[DEE DEE DEE]

Thank you.

If it came whit the gun I would be inclined to think that it was at 50 yards, being a 50 RRA 50 yard target. It is absolutely beautiful! If ya don't mind me asking what was the price on that excellent piece of engineering?

[Viscon]

That's a nice looking commander DThomas! :appld:

[MoneyTree]

Congratulations on your new Rock , DThomas . It's a beautiful pistol !

Did my wife put you up to that?



Got the chance to put a few rounds down range. Not as much as i would have liked to, but the gun was flawless and was amazingly accurate!

I will post some additional pics and more detailed review later.

Congrats & Enjoy!
Great pic, a beauty.
Good Luck.
Jim :D

The commander has a more rounded carry bevel at the muzzle and dust cover, and the slide serrations do not appear to be as sharp as the Elite Commando:

I know, I know... I need to clean them both!

[Viscon]

Great pics! I don't know how you sleep letting your guns get that dirty! :bed: :)

[d90king]

Nice blaster, looks like a nice one. :appld:

[Frank]

A couple of very fine roscoes.

...I don't know how you sleep letting your guns get that dirty...
Aw, Gordon, t'ain't too bad. Cleaning guns is for when a fellow's got nothing better to do.

Thanks for the compliments.

It's only been one night, as those guns were "dirtied" on Saturday, but I did sleep well. :sleep: Besides it is more fun to get them dirty than it is to clean them.

I shoot just to clean my guns, but my shrink says I have much more serious problems than this one!

Great ROCK!

I see that the rock is clean now, how many RDS do you have through it now, and have there been any problems DTHOMAS? BEST OF LUCK,,,,,,,,,.

I am somewhat ashamed to admit this, but I probably have not fired more than 100 rounds through this gun, yet. So, it is too early to say it has proven itself to be reliable; however, I have had no stoppages so far. Also, this little Rock River may well be the most accurate 1911 I have ever fired, including my other Govt. sized RRA 1911's.

Good to hear DThomas, BEST OF LUCK.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[rude dog]

I really wish that they had made a CCO cause I would have ordered one. I just am not a Commander kinda guy but I dig it that other people are....Glad you love yours.

My MARS 1918 and RRA Elite Commando are eating all of my ammo and will not share with this one. It is tough being the runt of the litter, I guess.

DTomas,

Going back a bit, on page 1, your post #9, the grip panels look dang good.

Who made them?...price?

Thanks,
