no commander at the present time. Its on order.
I stopped shooting PPC in 2014, removed the tri rear and ordered a Aristocrat non tri rear sight to use in area matches.
this one shoots good, better than my current eyes. I have switched to my David Sams Custom Colt .45 and sadly this Nina has been sleeping for quite some time.
call me dumb.... I got way too much $$$$ in this one.

Before and after.
'68 lwc, purchased used with the goofy MMC sights. MARS custom: Kart barrel, custom thumb safety, countoured grip safety, stippled MSH and front strap, a bit of good trigger work, and maybe most importantly Harrison hardball rear sight with a serrated ramp tritium front, no dot.
It's literally the coolest pistol I've ever seen.
JAD,
The thumb safety and grip safety in your last picture look stock to my eyes. What am I missing?...custom thumb safety, countoured grip safety...

[Wheels of Justification]It's really dumb to sort of want a .40 1911, isn't it? Especially when I don't compete but I already have a couple of other .40s and I (try to) have ammo on hand...[/Wheels of Justification]

What’s the general consensus on the S&W Scandium 1911s? Are they basically a Lightweight Commander? Was it scandium or titanium that S&W had issues with certain cleaners?
The more I think about it, we should have a general 1911 thread to avoid hijacking the Art and Science technical thread for non-technical questions (guilty as charged). Maybe one of our #shitmods can rename this thread The Big Happy General Purpose 1911 thread or some such?

S&W has made both Commander and Government size guns with lightweight frames made of aluminum alloy containing a small amount of Scandium for strength. I've owned one of each and they were good guns.
The Scandium models they currently offer are both Commander size guns. One is the E-Series round butt model, the other is the Performance Center round butt model.
I've heard of certain solvents causing the clear coating on Scandium revolvers to flake off, but I don't know if the Scandium frame 1911s have the same issue. I never had any problems of that kind with the two Scandium framed guns I owned.
