Then take one of your EDC commanders to the local gunsmith and get it milled. You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

For an EDC, I believe there are better choices out there. Wish you the best. I carried my Baer 45 ACP in a favorite Desert Gun Leather right hand crossdraw on a short errand run this morning, went to the pharmacy, bank drive through, post office, grocery, and parts store, I could indeed tell it was there, but a good fitting tight crossdraw that holds close to the body helps, but agreed with what you wrote, a good Glock or Sig hi-cap makes a better carry pistol. Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Hammer! many, many more to you my Friend. Last edited by gunner500; 01/11/20. Trump Won!

Probably be around 4k out the door. Here's a nice one from Triarc systems for only $3500 https://triarcsystems.com/product/t...k-commander-frame-rmr-cut-black-nitride/ You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

A lightweight Commander is a dream to edc if you have a good IWB holster and proper belt. Even an all steel Government Model can be an edc but, in the case of an all steel GM, by the end of the day you are generally feeling it a little, particularly if you've been active and sweating at any point during the day.

Carried it in a Milt Sparks VM II on a good Galco 2.5" gun belt. Once you get used to the feel, and aren't particularly active while carrying (not running around), you can pretty quickly get to the point where it feels funny not to be carrying it.
