Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Lightweight Commander combines Colt history with modern innovation. Colt made a Commander version of its 1911A1 pistol starting in 1950 with a lightweight alloy frame and a 4 ¼” barrel, but changed its name to Lightweight Commander in 1970 to distinguish it from the newly introduced all steel Combat Commander. The shorter barrel and alloy frame make this pistol more suited to regular carry than the full-size Government model while using the same magazine and having the same grip for familiarity. This would make a perfect carry pistol with its slim, single-stack frame, powerful .45 ACP chambering and Colt quality.
Condition:
This example is in Superb condition showing no evidence of regular consumer use or handling that we can see!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
