Colt’s 1991 Series Commanders retain the original 1911 single-action trigger feel. The solid aluminum trigger on this example breaks cleanly and resets positively, giving shooters the crisp control they expect from a Colt.
The carbon-steel slide wears a durable blued finish and sports rear cocking serrations for secure manipulation. A lowered and flared ejection port enhances reliability with modern defensive ammunition.
Safety is handled by the traditional thumb and grip safeties, augmented by the Series 80 firing-pin block to prevent discharge if the pistol is dropped. This combination offers the confidence of classic 1911 ergonomics with an added layer of mechanical security.
Checkered rosewood double-diamond grips provide a firm, abrasion-resistant hold while maintaining the iconic profile collectors appreciate. Fixed 3-dot sights deliver a clear, practical sight picture for both range sessions and defensive purposes.
With its 7+1 capacity, Commander-length slide, and proven Colt craftsmanship, this 2013-made pistol offers a balanced blend of portability, stopping power, and heritage.
