own business; delivering holsters, chatting with some local customers, at Bucky O'Neill Guns.
I wasn't there to shop, at all. OK, I always look around for a sleeper deal...
Jim pulls a Commander length 1911 out from the counter, it has Hi Power cuts...two tone say Les Baer on the alloy frame says Colt Combat Commander on the stainless slide also has a "R" and a "M" nicely engraved on it...My initials happen to be "RML"... I know the engraver... This came from the estate of a local gunsmith... his personal carry gun...very nicely done...700 bucks out the door...best part was, I was delivery about that amount in gun leather!

You are a very lucky Man!!!

The cause will surely be traced back To Bucky O"Neills guns. Another great fine from their coffers. (LOL) Hope you have many years of enjoyment with that one Rob.

Very nice find. $700 is a good price for a quality entry level 1911 and that is a very nicely done, not at all entry level, 1911:)

GREAT score, Rob!

I've liked Commanders ever since my first one (gift from my uncle in '73), which I still have. The week after CSA I picked up a 1991 Series Combat Commander off of GB, bone stock except for the grips and a set of Wilson night sights. I built a holster for it and I've been carrying it pretty constantly since then. Finding out all over again what a great carry gun a Commander is - even with the steel frame it's comfortable all day if you carry it in a good holster.
