Item Description: Translate description
According to the Colt Archives Serial Number Database, this Combat Commander 1911-style semi-automatic pistol was produced in 1975. SPECS: All-steel frame with polished blued finish, 4.25" barrel, rear slide serrations, dovetailed u-notch rear sight, fixed ramp front sight, smooth walnut grips with silver Rampant Colt medallion inlays on each side, beavertail safety grip, grooved backstrap, round serrated hammer, slide stop, thumb safety, grooved trigger and comes with (2) 7-round blued steel magazines. This pistol comes in the original box with wood grain style sleeve and manual. CONDITION: This pistol is in beautiful condition with no wear to speak of, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: Shortly after the Second World War, the United States Government began sponsoring a series of tests to find a new pistol to replace the Colt M1911A1. One of the key requirements dictated at the time was that the pistol was not to exceed 7" in length or 25 ounces in weight. These tests were conducted at Aberdeen Proving Grounds as well as at Fort Benning, Georgia. The pistols submitted at this time were the S&W M39, the Colt Commander, a modified Inglis Hi Power, a FN Hi Power and the T3 trial pistol, all chambered in 9mm Parabellum. Proposed at the end of 1949, the Commander was intended to fill a military need for a lighter handgun which would be issued to officers. None of these pistols were selected for the Armed Forces during this round of tests, but Colt wisely decided to go forward with commercial production of the Commander, and it proved itself to be a popular and successful design. It was available in several chamberings including the 9mm Parabellum, .45 ACP and the .38 Super. Throughout the years it was produced in several models: Pre-Series 70 Commander LW prefix, 9mm .38 Super, .45, alloy frame model only, 1950-1976; Series 70 Lightweight Commander CLW prefix, .30 Luger (7.65mm), .38 Super, 9mm, .45, 1970-1983; Series 70 Combat Commander Steel frame; Series 80 Lightweight Commander .45, 1983-1997; Series 80 Combat Commander .38 Super, 9mm, .45, blue slide and stainless receiver variant with Hogue grips in 1998 only, blued, stainless and satin nickel variants; Gold Cup Commander; M1991A1 Commander and XSE Series Commander.
