Was my main carry gun for >20 years, very accurate & completely reliable; today I mostly carry a S&W PD Gunsite Commander size 1911 with a Scandium frame mainly because of the lighter weight. MM

The alloy frame did crack after 5000 rounds, but was still serviceable. The Gold Cup, for what it's worth, was just as accurate as when it started. I like commanders, too. One of these days I need to find a correct-rollmark 9mm or .45 Series 80 top end for the alloy frame I have, and get it running again. I also need to bite the bullet one of these days and get a project Commander to bobtail. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Not for the guy who enjoys shooting 2 or 3 times a week and fires two hundred rounds a sessons right? Nonetheless the Commander is a slick pistol with great looks It's light weight is an advantage to someone who intends to carry this weapon for extended hours during the day. Thank Our Veterans!
