Colt Commander upgraded

[gunsnrovers]

In 1992, I bought this stainless S80 Enhanced Commander. From the get go, it was a PITA. Under warranty, Bain & Davis made it right, but the pistol just never grabbed me and in 1993 when I bought a Springfield Milspec, the Commander got regulated to only occasional use.

Finally, I decided to do something about it. I sent the pistol off to Tripp Research with a list of things I wanted changed. They did all the gunsmith work as well as the refinish. I am very pleased with the results.

How she looked a little while ago:


How she looks today:



Carry bevel and a new bushing


Serrated front strap to match MSH


Matching top strap (got to decorate that flat slide Colt left blank)


Commander ring hammer and grip safety

Turned out very nice! Virgil Tripp does good and clean work. How does she shoot?

I really like that!
I especially like how the serrations don't just stop at 90 deg square but "taper" to a point, very clean looking to my eye.

I will get to the range on Thursday.

This weekend my son's social calender was full. Who knew a 4 year old would have so many social obligations!

Very nice.........

I just sent off a beat up Colt LW Commander frame to Robar for a NP3 refinish, once I get it back I'm doing a build-up of it, now I know what to shoot for............
