Colt Firearms Lightweight Commander Features The Colt Firearms Lightweight Commander pairs a Novak white dot front sight with a G-style dovetail rear sight for a fast reliable sight picture whether or not an optic is mounted and Colt s dual-spring recoil system smooths out felt recoil for quicker follow-up shots and more consistent cycling. Angled slide serrations and a bobbed hammer streamline manual racking and reduce the chance of snags during a reload under stress. The aluminum alloy frame trims a meaningful amount of weight compared to a carbon steel frame making the pistol noticeably easier to carry for a full day without added fatigue. For shooters who want full 1911 performance in a lighter carry-friendly package the Lightweight Commander delivers exactly that. The Black Cherry G10 grip panels provide a secure textured hold that stays grippy through extended range sessions and the upswept beavertail combined with an undercut trigger guard lets shooters achieve a higher more consistent grip for better recoil control. The blued steel slide contrasts against the black anodized aluminum frame for classic 1911 styling with a modern twist and the stainless National Match barrel is built for tighter tolerances and improved accuracy over a standard barrel. For 1911 enthusiasts who want optics compatibility on a lighter easier-to-carry frame the Colt Firearms Commander Lightweight is available for sale at GrabAGun.
