A lightweight 9mm commander is pretty high on my list right now, and Colt does a good job. Nice grab.

And I've got it! I've only had a chance to put 100 rounds through it (and was in a bit of a rush doing it).
So far, I like this gun. Really like it. I'll be shooting it again at a match Tuesday, and will write more.
It seems fairly easy to hit what I'm aiming at, and is really pleasant and fun to shoot so far.

Nice.
Okay, today was our local range's homebrewed & causal kind of match, so it doesn't really fit under any particular governing body.
Course of fire was one target at 15 yards, and 4 more at 7. 3 mags with 5 rounds each, 3 rounds into each target, with one head shot.
Anyway...
-The good: this gun is stupid easy to get hits with. Headshots at 15 yards was nothing hard at all.
-The bad: I suck when it comes to speed, and tended to miss when trying to shoot doubletaps into the target body.
-The ugly: Had two failures where the empty case dropped back into the ejection port with the rim to the front. Tried a single shot with the mag out, and the empty popped right onto my left arm.
I'm going to take the slide off and try a round under the rim, with photos to follow shortly. Be right back...

Okay, took the slide off, and it kind of holds a loaded HST, but rotation causes it to fall out pretty easy.
Extractor tension maybe?

I’d jack with it first. What mags?
Ignore Alien Orders
Mix of Colt, Metalform, and some mags I grabbed from the shop we don't know who made. First time was with the Colt mags, second with the others.
Ammo was Speer Lawman 147.
I gave the extractor a touch more tension- a loose round isn't flopping around in there. Next range trip is on Friday.

And holy cats this slide is super easy to detail strip!
