Colt Commander 45 ACP Pistol
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).
