colt commander
The Colt Commander is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun based on the John M. Browning designed M1911. It was the first mass-produced pistol with an aluminium alloy frame and the first Colt pistol to be chambered in 9mm Parabellum.Colt made several variations of the Commander and offered it in .45 ACP and .38 Super chamberings. Other variants followed with different degrees of factory accurizing and materials.
I am curious about this Colt Commander Model. It has a SN beginning in CJ, The Colt SN can't be found on Colt's list. I have read that it's for a A1 commander but this gun has no A1 roll marks. I am thinking about buying it but I'd like to know a bit about it first. Help me out please.
Looking around for a stainless Colt Commander in 45acp. Prefer the style with the ramped rear sight (vs the GI blade). Looking for a shooter not a safe queen.
Let me know if you have one you'd consider parting with, or if a shop has one in a case somewhere that you've seen.
Thanks!
