Being a fan of the 1911's, this one has the look and feel of a great 1911. Though I was not a fan of the G10 grips it came with, I replaced them with nice custom wood grips.

Absolutely beautiful tool,but as a collector,not really any difference in the production models other than the 1 piece bushing,would definitely recommend the weapon

Beautiful gun but the thumb safety slips up while shooting. May send back for professional inspection. Can’t tell the difference from my other 1911’s. So, not sure why it’s labeled PC. Still on the fence after 100 rounds.

It’s what you would expect, well built, accurate and a comfortable to carry, lightweight commander. I love the stainless slide with side cuts and rounded bottom which makes it concealable and again comfortable. The frame material is light which has its positives but I wonder if I’d like a steel or stainless frame better??? The frame stippling is wearing more than steel would and I am hard on my sidearms so every ding is just a bit more damage than normally would be. Again, what you give to get lighter weight. The safety is a tiny bit mushy and not as crisp as some others (albeit not fair as they are Les Baer, Colt Custom Shop and Nighthawk Custom). I would love G10 grips and a set of really thin G10 grips would have been so so so much better than the standard thick grips this came with but I have yet to try a thin set. Just not pumped to buy grips, short screws and short hardware it would need. But I really really want to. In the end, I still like this 1911 Commander a lot and I have an all steel Colt Commander I compare this to. I prefer carrying this and I prefer shifting the other at the range. That is it. I hope this helps.

An awesome 1911 commander size, 4.25" .45 ACP. Very light, super fast trigger - I suppose that is the big draw of 1911's. This is my first, and it's a pain to clean and breakdown compared to my Sig P226, and I've I had to repair the safety myself, as I didn't want to deal with S&W warranty stuff. Great gun!

I expected more from this 1911. On face value, it is one of the more pretty 1911’s Bud’s has to offer. The trigger is great. Reset is nonexistent short. Grips are nice... a little thick, but nice. What I don’t like about the pistol is the pin on the top of the slide in the back works it’s way loose after a magazine. After 2 mags, it’s sticking up 4-5mm. I don’t feel a pistol that costs $1400 should do that. I find it ironic that it says “Performance [Center]” on the side and it has performance issues regularly. At the time, I was looking at the Smith & Wesson Performance Center 1911 models and the Sig Sauer P220 Legion. I wish I would have gone with the ladder.
