Pair of Colt Lightweights

[Greg Derr]

Colt lightweight Commanders in .38 Super and 9mm. The .38 is a 1950 and the 9mm from 1967. These are my favorite rollmarks from Colt. These are a part of the 12 gun "Caliber Project" One of each Colt production caliber.

What's your favorite 1911 caliber?

What is the finish on the frames? Ceracote? I have LW in .45 that Jim Hoag did.

Mr. 9mm.......

I read the piece John Harrison wrote on IonBond it would seem to be nearly indestructible. Great looking handgun. Like many of the LW's mine has no finish left on the frame. Someone tried to refinish the slide. I am conflicted about having it redone or leaving it alone because of Hoag's involvement.

Let's see it. Done right it won't hurt the value.

I am not the photographer you are.....and I don't have good light here.

Check out the Springfield Range Officer Elite Operator in 9mm. Its an amazing shooter.

Do you make your own grips? That wood is beautiful (as are the guns themselves, obviously)!
