PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
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.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

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.

Can some of you give me an idea of the price range these can be found in?

Also what is the difference between the XSE and XS? Which is the better one to have?

Colt XSE Lightweight Commander

The XS was the forerunner of the XSE, had a few minor differences in features.

Here is a Lightweight XS Commander- factory stock.




I think the differences are in the rear sight, grip safety, thumb safety(single sided) and trigger. They were almost a transitional model around 1990/1991---This one was made in 1990 per Colt. You'll be kinda hard pressed to find an XS model anymore whereas the XSEs are still being made or are a lot more plentiful.

If the serial number ends with an "E" does that mean it is always an "enhanced" model?
