Early 70s Colt Commander questions
Im considering a 1911 project for my 50th birthday in a little over a year. I’m thinking about a birth year 9mm Commander and having a .38 Super barrel fit as well (or the other way around depending on what I can find).
It looks like .45s were available with steel or aluminum frames, what about the 9 and .38? One of my “wants” at the moment is a squared trigger guard. I know that can be done with a steel frame but I don’t know if it can be done to an aluminum frame. If it can’t and the 9/.38 were only offered in aluminum frames then I need to look into Plan B.
