Wasn't the original Commander a 9mm? For me, the alloy frame Commanders feel amazing when you handle them, they are just so well balanced. Being 10 oz lighter doesn't hurt, of course.

I love the 1911 too. See my on-line name.;) I have many and prefer it to any polymer striker fired pistol. There is one on my hip in a Summer Special as I type this in my favorite coffee shop.
1911's are fun and every pistol enthusiast should have one (or two) just because its a classic! Like having a pump action shotgun, a lever rifle, a revolver, a bolt action rifle; classic firearms but they also serve a modicum of utility. My version of 1911's are a 2011 Staccato C single stack, and Dan Wesson guardian, both in 9mm. Both fun and brutally accurate without a RDS. However, for EDC, Glock 19 RDS.
For those of us well over age 50, it's more about evening the odds. My days of shooting hand howitzers are long past. I "can" still shoot a .45, I just don't want to. Cheating?

It is a stunningly enduring design compared to other WWI pistols, what is not to love?
