The Dan Wesson Vigil Commander is a 9mm 1911 pistol featuring a forged aluminum frame for reduced weight, making it approximately 6.5 ounces lighter than an all-steel variant. It includes a tritium front sight and serrated tactical rear sight for improved visibility. The pistol operates on a Series 70 platform, omitting a firing pin safety, and allows for cocked-and-locked carry with its non-ambidextrous thumb safety and beavertail grip safety. The 4.25-inch bushed matched barrel and 9-round magazine contribute to its functionality.
