differences between Ruger # 6708 and 6711 1911s?

[rockdc]

Are there differences between these other than slide color? These are

Ruger SR 1911 Talo Night Watchman 6708 45 Auto 4"

Ruger SR 1911 Lightweight Commander 6711 45 Auto 4.25"

If not, can I get a black slide for my #6711?

Thanks! Steve T

I think the Night Watchman is an all steel gun whereas the LW Commander has an aluminum frame plus the NW has night sights and the LW doesn't.

I have the NW and it has the alloy frame. Front strap is cut, night sights and G10 grips. Carries well and is accurate and no issues. I'm not a two tone fan. Good luck finding one though from what I hear...

Night Watchman came with either steel or alloy frame.

I have the LW commander, two tone, and want to go with a dark slide.
