Commanders ain't cheap these days. My dad's is a series 70 and I don't think they're going for under $800 now. My mom paid $150 for it NIB in 1977. My dad had the ramp polished and put some S&W revolver sights on it, which was fashionable at the time. When I get it, it will get better sights. I wanted a really personalized 1911, so when I got my dirt cheap Springfield 1911, I rounded up the barrel, guide rod, beavertail, trigger and hammer I wanted, then mailed the wholse schmeer off to Robar. They refinished the slide, frame and most components in Roguard. I wanted just the skeletonized trigger, hammer and barrel bushing done in NP3. Then they added Trijicon night sights. It's a really sweet shooter and looks cool too. But I'm a tad hesitant to CCW it, since it will most certainly be lost if I ever have to use it. Whereas, I can always replace any of my SIG's anytime, if I lost one in an evidence locker.
