Recommendations: 1911 9mm; Commander-Sized

[druryj]

Guys - WTF? I started this thread to talk about Commander size 1911 pistols. How we manage to get so off track on **** is beyond me. I'm guilty of it too, it's just so easy to start BS'in about different crap though. Thanks for all the input; I've decided I want the new Colt 04842XE Lightweight Commander in 9mm as my next pistol.

Actually, I believe it was you. By starting the whole "the 1911 wasn't designed for 9mm" discussion.

But I shouldn't argue with you, since apparently if you talk about something, you know all, and anyone who disagrees needs crayon diagrams and drinks "barley corn".

Negative, the hijack came when someone argued my comment.

No, its a redesign of a pistol that was only designed for .45 and 5" slide.

Actually, hate to destroy the wannabe purist speak........ the design was originally around the .38 super. Browning THEN re-engineered his auto-loader design when the government said they want a .45.

Thats right, and that design remained the same.

Well not really, changes were made. However, the point remains you said it was only designed for the .45...... which isn't true.

I believe it was a Col. Thompson who headed up the Ordnance Board who specified that the pistol was to be chambered in 45ACP.
