I may have to get another 1911

Just when I thought I was joining the 21st century and transitioning to striker fired pistols and even started carrying one with a dot, this comes out. A lightweight 1911 Commander sized gun with an optics cut. No rails or anything else, just basic 1911 goodness with an optic.

Damn you Springfield Armory!

I recently purchased 2 LW Commanders, a Tisas and then a Ruger. Both are 9mm and easy to shoot.

Whatever you do, don’t check out the Commander models in 10mm that Tisas has on the market.

Grab A Gun had them for sub-$500 recently. Mine is 100 rounds in with zero hiccups.

Damn near the perfect gun.

Don't say that! I almost bought one of those the last time PSA had them for ~$550 and talked myself out of it. I have other gun expenses on the list right now and don't need the distraction!

It's cool to see that Springfield is coming out with an OR variant of the Ronin. I'm not a big fan of the plate solution, but the gun itself is pretty much everything I like in a 1911 and nothing I don't. They also already have 10mm and 9mm versions in the Ronin line, so it's probably only a matter of time before we see an OR variant for those.

Yeah, me either.

But maybe if they get popular enough, Holosun will come out with a plateless direct mount option, like they did for the Glock MOS.

Out of stock already. Probably a good thing. But darn, what a good deal.

They also have a 5” or had.

Yes, they had the 5", at least at that moment. Thankfully the 5" isn't as enticing which my bank balance is happy about.
