Notice their position in the box. It explains why "gandstas" hold their pistols sideways.
And for Fred a restored 1903.

Great looking 1903 Pocket Hammer! If you want to shoot it and don't have any 38 ACP ammo, I have found that 9mm Browning Long ammo works pretty well in my gun. It is within a thousandth of an inch in all dimensions but is a slightly lighter load than the 38 ACP. Empties can be reloaded using the 38 ACP/Super dies. The only problem is that you will occasionally get a stovepipe jam when the slide catches the empty case.
Nice "in the box" Commanders. By the way, all "Commander" models are built on the lightweight alloy frame. The steel frame version is the "Combat Commander".
The only problem with the alloy frame Commanders is that a steady diet of hot loads can cause the slide to batter the frame or even crack it in extreme cases.
