Colt Lightweight Commander Shooter s Model Features The Colt Lightweight Commander is built around a 4.25 barrel with 1:16 twist paired with a black anodized aluminum alloy frame and carbon steel slide reducing carry weight without compromising the structural integrity or shooting feel of a traditional steel-framed commander-length 1911. The dual spring recoil system reduces felt recoil for faster more comfortable follow-up shots while extending recoil spring service life beyond a conventional single-spring setup. Novak white dot front and low-mount rear sights provide a clean high-visibility sight picture suited to defensive carry and range applications. The Colt Lightweight Commander features an upswept beavertail grip safety that enables a higher more consistent grip for improved control and accuracy under carry and defensive conditions. Checkered black cherry G10 grips deliver a secure textured purchase under .45 ACP recoil while setting the Lightweight Commander apart visually from standard production 1911s. The aluminum alloy frame keeps overall weight at 29.4 oz. for a practical all-day concealed carry option without sacrificing the balance and pointability that define the commander-length 1911 platform. As a Colt Shooter s Model this Lightweight Commander is a 100% new-in-box firearm that may exhibit a slight finish imperfection originating during the manufacturing process typically imperceptible without a trained eye or magnification. These blemishes carry no functional impact and do not affect the reliability accuracy or longevity of the pistol. Shooter s Model products are not covered under Colt s standard one-year warranty.
