"Commanding Officer" -type 1911s

[sundance435]

I'm interested in getting a commanding officer-type 1911. I love the current Colt Wiley Clapp version, but I don't want an alloy frame. Are there any decent base guns out there that fit the bill, other than spending $3000 on a Wilson Combat? Any good smiths that will cut a commander magwell down to officer's length?

Thanks

Dan Wesson makes a few CCO guns. If I remember correctly they are steel framed, but most will be alloy since they are marketed as carry guns.

I do know Les Bart’s Stinger is an all steel CCO but you are looking at a little over 2k.

For future reference, a Commanding Officer is a commander frame and an officer slide. A CCO, or Concealed Carry Officer is the other way around

Aluminum is the better material, IMO. I’m interested why you want steel...

Nope, once the anodizing is worn through then it's just downhill from there. I'm getting out of SIG's and specifically transitioning to steel framed 1911's because of this.
