Colt 1911 Lightweight 45 ACP Blued Overview
The 1911 Lightweight Commander is a Colt pistol built for duty, home defense and range use. It is built on the 1911 Style platform. A good handgun should be reliable with a wide range of ammo, easy to shoot accurately and simple to maintain, and that is what this model is built to deliver.
Action and Controls
The 1911 Lightweight Commander runs on a single action only system with a 3 Hole trigger. It holds 8+1 rounds. The safety is firing pin/grip/manual. Practice your trigger press and reloads until they feel natural.
Barrel and Sights
The 4.25 inch barrel is stainless steel. Sights are Novak 3-Dot. Check that your front sight is crisp in focus as you press the trigger, which is the key to accuracy with any handgun.
Frame, Slide and Finish
The frame is aluminum and the slide is carbon steel. The finish is Blued with Stainless. Slide details include serrated. Grips are Black Cherry G10.
Size and Carry
Overall length is 7.75″, height is 5.5″ and width is 9.0000. It weighs about 1.84 lbs. That size gives a full grip and a longer sight radius for steady shooting at the range and at home.
Ammo and Practice
Feed this pistol quality factory ammo from a known brand. Shoot a few hundred rounds of practice ammo and at least a box of your chosen defensive load to confirm it runs reliably before you trust it for protection.
The 45 ACP
The 45 ACP is a proven defensive round with big, slow bullets and moderate recoil.
Home Defense and Range Use
This pistol is a solid choice for home defense, range practice and many kinds of competition. For home defense, keep it in a quick access safe and pick a quality defensive load.
Holsters and Accessories
Plan on a quality holster made for this exact model, a magazine pouch, a lock or quick access safe, and eye and ear protection. A weapon light and a red dot are popular upgrades if the gun is set up for them.
Buying Tips
Pick up extra magazines, a quality holster and plenty of practice ammo. If you are new to handguns, a basic safety class is a smart first step.
Care and Value
Clean the bore and action after each range trip or hunt, keep moving parts lightly oiled and wipe the finish after handling. A well kept Colt holds its value.
