Frequently Asked Questions
Colt 1911 Lightweight Commander for sale
Is the Colt Commander a good gun?
The Colt Commander is a well-regarded compact 1911 variant. It's reliable, well-built, and comfortable to carry. Accuracy runs roughly 2.5–3 inches at 25 yards. It retails around $1,000. It suits shooters who want classic 1911 ergonomics in a shorter, lighter platform.
What are the common issues with the Commander?
Colt Commander pistols occasionally have feeding issues with certain ammunition, particularly in 9mm variants. Slide-to-frame fit can vary between examples. Most problems resolve with quality ammunition and proper maintenance.
How much does a Colt lightweight commander weight?
Unloaded, a Colt Lightweight Commander weighs approximately 27.7 ounces. When fully loaded with 10 rounds, it reaches about 34.7 ounces. The aluminum frame makes it lighter than the all-steel Combat Commander variant.
When did Colt start making the lightweight commander?
Colt introduced the original Commander in 1950 with an aluminum frame. Around 1970, when Colt released the all-steel Combat Commander, they renamed the aluminum-frame model "Lightweight Commander" to distinguish the two variants.
