Dan Wesson Commander Classic Bobtail 1911 .45 ACP Stainless — Match-Grade 4.25" Barrel, Tritium Sights, 8+1 Capacity
The Commander Classic Bobtail pairs Dan Wesson’s hand-fitted 1911 craftsmanship with a forged stainless steel frame and slide, a match-grade 4.25" barrel, and factory night sights. Its Ed Brown-licensed bobtail grip reduces printing for concealed carry, while premium components like a Series 70 ignition system, 25 LPI front-strap checkering, and Chip McCormick Power Mags add practical value for shooters and collectors alike.

The forged stainless steel frame and slide receive a brushed and bead-blasted finish that resists wear while giving the pistol a refined, low-glare appearance. All edges are de-horned at the factory for comfortable carry and smooth presentation.
A match-grade barrel marked “MATCH” works with a tight barrel-to-bushing fit to promote consistent accuracy. The lowered and flared ejection port enhances reliability with a wide range of .45 ACP loads.
Controls follow the classic single-action 1911 layout: a long, skeletonized aluminum trigger set in a Series 70 ignition, a skeletonized commander-style hammer, and both thumb and grip safeties for positive operation. The 25 LPI checkered front strap and diamond-checkered cocobolo grips provide a secure, tactile hold.
Fixed AmeriGlo tritium three-dot sights use a Novak-pattern rear and dovetailed front blade for a clear, day-night sight picture. Rear cocking serrations assist in slide manipulation, and the bobtail mainspring housing shortens the grip profile for easier concealment.
This Commander Classic ships California-compliant from the factory and carries Dan Wesson part number 01912.
