Pretty sure it's an aluminum frame. The first Colt Commanders (like Baz's) were all aluminum frame in 9mm. I believe Colt initially produced them to bid on a .mil contract/T&E that required/specified a lightweight pistol in 9mm.
IIRC, they (.mil) were looking for a possible alternative to the standard (heavy) M1911 for issuing to higher-ups/officers.
