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.

Thanks ! I also have to report that the shop where I bought this informed me that Colt no longer produces anything but "Custom Shop" guns and that Commanders are no longer made so buy all you can find.
(At least he didn't say Taurus bought them.)

Very nice Colt. I like the ORM really. I have a fullsize and Compact ORM and they are excellent pistols.

ORM is original roll mark. That is the large rollmark on the 1991A1 such as above.
NRM is new roll mark. That is the smaller rollmarks found on the 1991.
I hope that helps.

Hunter, thank for the info. With the new addition to my stable (WWI repro) i'm trying to absorb the Colt "ways" quickly. Is there any other significant difference between the two? They are both produced in 1991, but with diff. rollmarks?
