I've owned several Colts, a couple were Commanders with alloy frames.

I am firmly in the belief that they are fit together better than the steel-framed guns, both my Commanders shot better than Gov't Models, either in .45, Super .38, or 10mm, and even a '70 Series Gold Cup.

I HAD to have beavertail grip safeties added, though, because the snippy little rascals would bite me every chance they had. Other than better sights and the beavertails, nothing else was needed. I shot them both with factory sights and the larger aftermarket sights, quite a bit.

Damned fine pistols. Both mine were .45, of course.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
