My Colt Commander is back from the gun smith.

Ed Brown Hardcore Hammer

Wilson Combat Grip Safety
Novak's Trijicon Night Sights
Wolff 20# recoil spring

Dave Laubert did an awesome job on my pistol! Anyone looking for a 1911 gun smith in the Akron/Cleveland Area check him out: http://www.defensivecreations.com/

Picture sucks since I took it on my phone but I don't have a digital camera

You've taken a great pistol, and made it better. Beautiful Colt you have there. I like all the stuff you had done. How's it shoot?

I like everything about it except the hammer. IMHO there's nothing wrong with the OEM Colt Commander "rowel" style hammer. Thus ultra-thin, elongated loop "combat" hammers scare me. Too many of them fracture.

Agreed.

AMAZING Colt though. I love it. Love it all. Not gonna lie. But I second this comment above.

Which is whyyyyyy.......

But bear in mind....My gun is back at the gunsmiths because after I put $500 into it and he did that beautiful custom beaver tail.....I wanted a real beaver tail. Being done now.

It's the best shooting pistol I have. Disgustingly accurate. I absolutely love it!
