The New SAM Commander Special

[Chumlee Bumsnag]

The BHP has an internal magazine safety that means the gun will only fire with a mag inserted. The 1911 has a grip safety that means the gun has to be held tightly to fire. There aren't many other guns that have a grip safety. Sort of an answer to a question that should have been ignored IMHO.

But you just couldn't ignore it . Good answer nonetheless.

Mine arrived, looks pretty good, a lot of ugly rusty grease all over it , once its cleaned it should be great

I'm relatively new to 1911's and pistols in general. Is the little lever/button on the backside of the handle a safety?

Yes it's a grip safety, part of the beavertail, it pivots to safe when you grip the pistol.
The Springfield XD pistols also have a grip safety but most modern guns don't.

If CCW were a thing in Canada, this with a bobtail cut would be a very cool carry gun.

It's definitely begging for a bobtail.

How did it clean up? Did it arrive in a box or a plastic case if you don't mind me asking. It's my first semi-auto pistol and I'm pretty excited about it. I have really big mitts and hope the grip will work for me.

cardboard box , cleaned up ok, nicely made, small grip for big hands, you will probably like the commander better with the longer grip

Wolverine or anyone who has on one these. Can you please post some pics. I’m still on the fence. Thanks!

I would get a 9mm as well.

Straight out of the packaging. Not cleaned yet.

So you're saying it's a dog? Or perhaps the dog's name is Sam?
