I had the opportunity last month to spend a couple days around 2 Dogs. A large time was had testing his new wildcat along with some general shooting. The little fella can align the sights and press a trigger, no doubt. One evening while listening to thoughts ranging from ISIS to Modelo Beer he brought in a holstered pistol and handed it over. A S&W lightweight commander with a round butt. As much as I tried to dislike the damn thing, the bug was planted. I even took a photo of it next to my old Sokol 640. Both guns happened to be in best quality leather. I liked the size, weight, and round butt, but was not big on the ambi safety or long guide rod, thus the quest was on. I had never handled a Dan Wesson 1911, though have always heard positive things about them. It took about two weeks of fighting the urge before I ordered a new Dan Wesson Guardian 45. I could not be happier with it. Absolutely trouble free and quite accurate. Turned out to be a expensive get together! Thanks Fermin (I think).....

Hanging with old Fermin can be expensive for sure. Lightweight, round butt Commanders do feel awfully nice.

Scott, I went with the Ruger LW Commander when I decided to retire my 'cobbled together' LW Gov't model. Those LW 1911's grow on you as you're finding out. Enjoy!

First time I've ever heard of Fermin referred to as a "little" fella. But yes, he does know his way around a handgun, rumor has it that he owns more than one.

Sheriff I went the lightweight route on the 1911 model and picked up a Springfield Armory EMP 4 in 9mm. Good weapon with 10 in the magazine and 1 in the pipe.
