Colt Commander Vs Colt Combat Commander

[cwlam3]

Would some Colt experts tell me what is the difference between a Colt Commander and a Colt Combat Commander ? Which one is better ? Thanks.

The original Commander uses a lightweight alloy frame, and the Combat Commander came later with a steel frame. Which is better is up to you...the steel framed Combat Commander will "buck" less when you fire it.

Personally I find my Combat Commander disapates recoil better.

trained with colt commander and combat commander. combat commander is better.

I too prefer the feel of the Combat Commander, at least in .45.

I've owned both, like both, and until you pull the trigger, the ltwt alloy commander balances better [ for me ].
But the steel commander has less muzzle flip/recoil, and
I have had to weld up the frame around the recoils spring shroud on a Alloy framed commander, when it cracked.

This is why man invented the shock buff ....

I had a Colt Commander and the recoil was really a problem for me, had trouble shooting. I have excellent results with a Government model, I suggest a Government hands down.

I prefer the Combat Commander. And I've owned a few of 'em....
