I just got some 1911s in last few years. The need for SD pistol closed in on me. Although I have a butt load of handguns, almost all S&W revolvers I had no practical carry piece. So only trusting S&W revolvers and Colt 1911, I went with 1911. Got carried away and ended up with more than I needed. Now reduced to three.
My carry gun is Commander LW 45, stock. The flat nature of 1911 makes it better CCW than a revolver. Ended up with another Commander I can’t put down. BoMar sights and match barrel, shoots better than a couple Gold Cups I’ve shot recently ( series 80 ) I would just keep it for CCW but don’t need target gun for that. 3rd is stock original series 70 like new.
Will be trading it off, all I had were series 70 or Commanders of 1970s vintage.
