If you're interested...

I edited the article to show weight, and also to mention the Novak style sight cut and lowered/flared ejection port on the slide.

Good article, my questions are, how much does it weigh (did I miss this) and how’s the velocity?

The mag part was really good

Is the slide able to be milled for a Holosun red dot??

Good questions. My initial answer was going be be it weighs as much as a 1911 commander but I forget sometimes that not everyone is familiar with the platform, which is why i forget to put that kind of info in the articles. Weight unloaded is 2lb 2.4oz

As far as velocity I actually did some extensive testing awhile back with this gun along with a 5" and 6" barreled gun. Those findings can be found here

And for your final question, yes it can be but I believe the common method is to mill the slide to take adaptor plates kind of like the Glock MOS. Tisas offers a few factory options that are already milled for a optic from the factory.

I’ve never seen a commander up close and personal. Have a custom built 1911, a Cylinder & Slide 1911 and 2 other 1911’s and several Staccato 2011’s 

I’m broken….and weight is now an issue, my pants fall off so I’m experimenting with suspenders but that’s another challenge 

Living in Wyoming I don’t  “need” a 10mm but have wanted one & this sounds like it fits the bill

The only real difference between a standard government model is the slide and barrel are 3/4 of an inch shorter. On the original colts the commander would have had a different hammer and grip safety but that’s not really a thing anymore. 

I also struggle with keeping my pants up and have experimented with suspenders. When I worked road construction I pretty much always wore suspenders but now that I’m trucking I just wear a heavy belt.

Overalls have built-in suspenders!

but no place for a holster

That was my thoughts as well.

Picky, picky, picky... my Walther PPS in a pocket holster fits nicely in the front pocket of my overalls, and I have lots more pockets!

There is that. I carry my lc9s in a pocket holster but anything bigger (easier to shoot well) wouldn't be good in a pocket holster.
Maybe a shoulder rig would be the answer to that problem.

I used to think smaller guns were more difficult to shoot, and they are, but you just need to shoot them and get good. I used to hate smaller guns, but I’ve come to really like my little J frame model 60 and pocket carry it quite a bit now.

I pocket carry the new 632 UC 32 H&R and have found it’s extremely accurate and easy shooting, wife really like shooting it and she hates the 442 38spl

Having real sights is wonderful, need to take pictures of targets do I
