Commander slide on an Alloy Officers frame.

Pardon my ignorance, but I have a couple of questions:
1) Who is building your 1911?
2) why not a Commander slide on an Alloy Commander frame?


CT Brian is the builder. I have a SS Colt Model 80 Officers of his now. Most expensive gun I ever bought. X3. When I shot it I ordered my first ever custom pistol the next day.

I like the shorter frame of the Officers. Alloy is okay on the Commander’s slide.
Have a Kimber Ultra Carry and short barrel with light frame is jumpier than I like.
Not recoil sensitive ......shoot a John Linebaugh 475 ......just a bit jumpy....so the longer barrel. Slide is easier to wear than frame for carry
