Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.
Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued. IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting. |

Commander
My Colt Commander. Not a Lightweight Commander or Combat Commander, just a Commander. From the early '60's when all Commanders had the lightweight Coltalloy frame.
From back when Colt was King.  |

That is a real nice Colt Commander you have but what do you mean "from back when Colt was king". Colt still holds that title. They made the best then, do now, and will tomorrow. I feel sure when laser guns come out Colt will still be at the top.

I knew that phrase would get a rise out of someone!
Colt has always been my favorite brand when it comes to 1911's, even though I own and have owned many others. This Commander makes me think back to the days when life was simpler, and you didn't need an extended beavertail or extended safety, and any of the other "jazz" on your 1911. It's not perfect, it has some wear, but its the honest wear of a very well taken care of pistol. It has been carried some, and fired VERY little. |

Combat Commanders came along later, and alloy-framed Commanders then became known...unofficially at first...as Lightweight Commanders (or Airweight Commanders)...and Colt started using CLW in the serial numbers. Nice old Commander by the way...I'm in search of another one myself.

The innards are still near pristine on this one. It just has a few little flea bites externally, from carry.

Wow!
That is an extremely nice Commander...it has the "Right Look" about it! Very nice pistol and great photographs.
Not to compete (it ain't even got a chance) nor to pirate your thread, but I'll throw a couple of pics of my labeled as such LWC in. Mine is much the junior to yours and not nearly as desirable.
