Instead of a 5-inch Government Model, the Commander is shortened to a 4.25-inch barrel. This type retains the original barrel bushing, albeit in shortened form. The grip frame is the same. The dust cover is shorter.<\/p>\n<p>The original Commander-size pistol features an aluminum frame reducing the weight from 38 to 28 ounces. The steel-frame Commander came along later. The steel-frame Commander also features a shortened slide but weighs around 34 ounces. Many find the steel-frame handgun a good compromise.<\/p>\n<h2>Ruger SR1911<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ruger\/firearms\/handguns\/?brand=Ruger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ruger<\/a> offers its excellent SR1911 in both steel and LW aluminum-frame versions.

The Ruger SR1911 Commander is good to ride with.<\/p>\n<h2>Carry Options<\/h2>\n<p>For concealed carry, an inside-the-waistband holster is a good choice. The body of the handgun is concealed in the pants. This means the holster isn\u2019t visible below the belt line. A modest length covering garment will conceal this handgun. The thin 1911 is a good choice for this carry mode. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/galco\/parts-and-accessories\/holsters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Galco\u2019s<\/a> Summer Comfort offers good design and construction, dual belt loops, and a reinforced holstering welt. This is a great combination for concealed carry for the shooter willing to put time and effort into the system. The LW 1911 isn\u2019t for everyone, but it is an option worth some thought.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What do you think of the Ruger SR1911?
