The Colt Commander, introduced in 1949, was the first major production handgun with an aluminum alloy frame, dubbed 'Coltalloy'. It features a shortened 4.25-inch barrel, making it more compact than the Government Model. The Commander also introduced the 'Commander Hammer' to prevent hammer bite. Variations include the Lightweight Commander (27 oz) and the all-steel Combat Commander (36 oz).
This review covers the Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911 'G' model, a full-size 1911 pistol manufactured in Israel. The speaker highlights its external features like an extended beavertail grip safety, commander-style hammer, fixed combat sights, blued finish, and checkered wood grips. It utilizes 7-round ACT-MAG magazines and is chambered in .45 ACP, with the speaker noting its high build quality for the price point and favorably comparing it to other 1911 offerings.
