Great deal if you really want a Colt commander.

If you just want a 1911, stick to full size especially if this is a range gun.

If you want to CCW a 1911, look elsewhere for a more modernized 1911 setup for carry.

If you want a better commander and can spend top dollar, get the Ed Brown Kobra or even the Dan Wesson CBOB for loads of less cash for top shelf quality.

If you have a great gunsmith to truly make this commander your own, you can't have a better platform with our roster's limitations.

Colt is a name brand that isn't quite worth what their prices are IMHO.

Lol NO. Wilson Combat, Nighthawk Custom, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Dan Wesson etc., are all better makers of the 1911 pistol than Colt. I don't own any plastic guns, so wouldn't know about those :)

This comes up a lot... Wilson, Nighthawk, DW and Baer are not in the same realm with Colt. That's like saying BMW and Ferrari make better cars than Honda. They all make cars but they don't make the same cars at the same level of quality. Colt makes a decent production gun that happens to have a brand name that is recognized world wide by even non gun folk. Does that command a higher price? Yes it does but that doesn't mean it's worth it. All the fancy brands of 1911s mentioned earlier makes fantastic hand fitted 1911s that are generally known by enthusiasts and collectors. For what's it's worth, I shot this exact commander from colt that was worked over by a renowned 1911 smith and it ran circles around my Nighthawk that cost way more in terms of features.
