Ended up with a ANIB 9mm Dan Wesson Specialist Commander in SS finish as my first 1911. Mint and only 50 rounds through it, has a killer trigger. and the price was too good to pass up, even the gun shop doing the transfer thought so. Now I just have to wait another 2 weeks before it gets released to me. Still plan on getting a 38 Super or a 45 to add to it when the right deal comes along. Lol, already have some feelers out. Great choice! I've had good luck with Wilson Combat ETM 9mm magazines; if you have any magazine related problems, try a Wilson mag and that should fix them. I had two 9mm Kimbers that went from problematic to perfect after swapping the factory Kimber mags out for Wilson mags. Expensive, but worth it.

My 38 Super is the same way, .355 bullets not so much .356 bullets great, 357 bullets Super accurate.
Mine has a Barstow barrel which I highly recommend. Another thing I have switched over to Starline Super Comp Cases.
Mine is a Combat Commander Nickle Plated. Oh well I bought it used.

Since recently buying a 9mm DW Specialist Commander (awesome gun, btw) as my first 1911, I discovered the "I want a .45" itch was still there. So, after winning an auction on GB, I have a NIB .45 DW Valkyrie Commander heading my way. Think I'm good for a while now, lol. I'll try and post pics once I have it.

It's rarely wrong when asked "this or that" to say BOTH!

You’re 2/3 of the way there. My thought when reading your first post was that you need one of each.
