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.


 
This is an old thread. You can't post a reply in it. It is left here for historical reasons.Why don't you create a new thread instead?

1968 Colt Commander

Another of my Commanders in my small collection. This time, it's my 1968 Commander that I rescued from Gun Broker some months ago. It's a little rough here and there. And, it's missing the original stocks (which, I still need to acquire) For the time being, I have placed some 70's sand blasted stocks on it as they where my only spare stocks worthy enough to put on it! It's amazing to compare the weights of the Combat Commanders to the Commanders! Quite the difference between them!

You've got a nice nearly 40 year old Commander there!

Thanks! I really like it. Even though I prefer the Combat Commanders over the Commander versions.

great looking commander MGC!

I'm having a middle-aged moment, but I think I saw the grips you need for that recently... If I can remember where I saw them I'll PM you the link.
