I just wanted to keep the posters up to date and am happy to inform you that with the slight adjustment of the extractor, the gun is ejecting 3 different types of ammo - 115gm PMC , 125gm reloads and the Hornday self defense rounds successfully.
Then if you buy a gun designed for one specific cartridge (like then M1911), use that cartridge in it.
And the Commander started out as the M1911 103 years ago.You do realize that the Commander started out as a 9mm gun some 64yrs ago.

What we have established is the M1911 was DESIGNED around the .45 ACP, and the 9mm Commander was an afterthought.So we have established both 9mm and 45acp Colt variations have been around the block for awhile....
Hence why, I would probably be looking at the gun thats only been on the market for a couple years.

Because that's what it was.Why call it an afterthought?
Your reasoning seems to be: "the .45 version came first, therefore the .45 is the only one that can really work as intended." You seem to feel that designs can't be tweaked, or springs changed, or slides made heavier or lighter, etc.Vern Humphrey said:Let's go back to the original point -- the M1911 was specifically designed for the .45 ACP and optimized for that cartridge. That it was later offered in 9mm, .38 Super and other cartridges doesn't change that fact.
If I wanted a 9mm handgun, I'd get one designed specifically for the 9mm.
No, my reasoning is the M1911 was designed for the .45 ACP, and if I wanted a 8mm I would get a gun originally designed for 9mm.Your reasoning seems to be: "the .45 version came first, therefore the .45 is the only one that can really work as intended."
