Been my personal carry gun daily the past year, have not had to draw in anger but, usually put at least a mag thru weekly, been flawless... Standard SR 1911. have owned or carried most 1911's the past 60 years.

I didn't know that story. Glad you got it. NT (reply)

I used this at a 3 day Gunsite course in 2014 This was Ruger plant manager, Jim Elliott's (Retired) personal gun he raffled for the benefit of the fallen 19 hotshots... Simply Rugged bought a lot of tickets,,, we won this and another Ruger Commander that was added to the pot...damn tough way to get a pistol...

Nice. Sounds like everyone that has one loves it. NT (reply)

They are excellent. None of mine are for sale. I particularly like my Lwt. Cmdr.

Quite likely. (reply)

I bought one of the flat bottomed firing pin retainers to try out. I was going to swap it at the range to give a good head to head comparison. That was two to three wars ago; I have no idea where that FP retainer went to!!

I'll see what I can find for you this afternoon. I've probably got a blues one and I'm near positive I have a stainless one as well

Quite likely. (reply)

One of my (many) 'round tuits' has been to swap MSH's betwixt the SA and the Ruger, preferably at the range so I can do head to head comparisons. Assuming I like the results, Brownells has arched MSH's with a straight checker like the Rugers, which I like.

I'll drop you a note in a bit.

Thanks!

I picked up the SR1911 a bit after it came out. (reply)

Slow Hand — Thu, 26 May 2016 09:11:21 +0000

Hoot, I'm a flat MSH fan, so I may have an arched MSH laying around. If I do, would you put it to use?

Huh...guess no one likes it. :) Thx all! NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Thu, 26 May 2016 02:40:30 +0000

Absolutely love mine, but I have the full size. Have even (reply)

Had two friends that shot mine go out and buy one the next week (they got the lightweight commander and standard commander) after shooting all three I still like the full size but the lightweight isn't nasty to shoot or anything.

Get in line Bub. Get in line. (reply)

When I found the Commander version for a decent price, I bought it and figured I was done with 1911's. Then, Ruger announced the Light Weight Commander. Haven't bought one....yet. VERY happy with the steel versions at hand. The straight MSH feels just a tad 'different' in my hand. I have thoughts about changing it to an arched version but have not done so...yet.

(Hint: Hoot's very first handgun was a SA 1911-A1. He still has it, as well as a couple others.)

Yes, I am and yes you are! Thx. NT (reply)

Rob you must be a great boss.

I've been completely happy with my commander.... (reply)

JD — Wed, 25 May 2016 19:59:38 +0000

I've been very impressed and happy with my commander. It is EXTREMELY well made and well fitted, and incorporates outstanding features for the money.... And you know how picky I am

I gave all mine to my employees. Matt Boge and John K (reply)
