Short 1911's, under 5"

[OKCShooter]

BIG difference between a Commander and on Officer's sized 1911 for reliability....don't lump them together.

Anybody have experience with the Magnum Research Commander size 1911? Anybody in Tulsa carry them by chance?

I have owned and shot the Magnum Research Commander 1911. I had one FTF on the first magazine but nothing after that. (500 rounds) Fit and finish were as good as most 1911's under 1000$. I dont think you would be disappointed.

I bought the Ruger CMD but also looked at the Iver Johnson. Anyone have one and if so what was your experience with it?

Thanks for the info. I plan on getting out tomorrow and hit the local shops.

Ill be taking both my 5" Kimber CDP II and my 4.25" Colt Commander ( both of which have been worked over by Accurate Iron) to TDSA in April. My plan is to shoot 50/50 with both of them. Ill let you know how my Commander does. I will only be using Tripp Cobra Mags for the class. I don't have cheap 1911 mags

shoooot, I can tell you right now how it does.

I'm guessing the one he worked over.

It won't matter...if Mike worked it over it was done right...

Not sure if this is the right spot to mention what a great gunsmith and great guy in general Dr. Greyson is. I went in to get a part and ended up staying 2 hours while he worked on my Springfield Loaded. He went above and beyond polishing, adjusting etc. His prices were reasonable to boot. Thanks Doc!!
