I have a Colt officers .45 acp bought in 1985, great gun. A problem showed up , tab on spring plug broke off. Had a gunsmith put a Kings bushing and reverse spring plug in! 💯 % reliable! 🦅🇺🇸
I remember that gun. That was the first handgun I ever purchased and it had the little tab on the bottom of the recoil spring plug. Great gun. I wish I had never gotten rid of it. 🥲
I have a Colt Commander purchased in 2014. Took it to Terry Tusseys Gunsmithing for a trigger job, new sights, and touch up the throat and ramp, and reliability tune. I replaced the spur grip safety with a Wilson "drop in" grip safety with a nice beavertail. I kept the thumb safety but used a Dremel tool with a grinding stone to smooth out and round the sharp corners and serrations. One of my favorite carry pistols. I also have the Les Baer Concept VII commander size. So nice balanced and fits just eight in my small hands.
A good gunsmith can tune the trigger with the Series 80s trigger. I had a Colt Officers (series 80) with a superb trigger tuned by a local smith, not one of the big name smiths.
Beautiful… great video
Thanks man 🤠
Have the exact same one, 700+ rounds, zero issues. Trigger's not perfect but it's way better than first time the box.
I have the lightweight version of this gun and I love it. If the feds came to my door and told me I could only keep one, this one would be it.
Was more impressed you actually got 8 in the mag.
Glad one finally worked out for you. Don't know why, but grips with huge company logos make me cringe. Replaced the stock ones on a SA Mil Spec with Herretts fully checkered. Thinner, more gripping surface, and additional plunger tube support as well.
The inconsistency of the series 80 triggers is a bummer. I was hopeful after your DE review but, it looks like you need to check these out at the shop before laying down your $1k. The Competition with the series 70 is looking better and better but I keep blowing my budget on Colt revolvers…. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the 1911, which I consider a piece of mechanical artwork.
Now ya got me . SE or a Combat ,. Guess I got get a job just for more Colts. I too am a fanboy.Am Only one in the county , maybe state, that carries Colt.
Got one for my birthday last year. Superb shooter! However after 400 rounds i could not remove the barrel bushing. Tried the wrench too. No joy. Took to local gun store. Again no joy. Told me to shoot more rounds thru it. WTF? Paid $1100 for it! I will not EDC unless it is 100 per cent and that includes dissembly. This year i got a colt Defender for my 66th birthday. Again great shooter. Colt engineers put in a crappy recoil spring and guide rod assembly. Bought the kimber unit as a replacement. Struggled for the better part of an hour to reassemble! Planning to get the commander in 38 super next . Hopefully since CZ bought colt they wil improve quality controk. Hope they bring back the Mustangs and GovT 380s as well but with novak sights and not the little crappy sights.
I have a bunch of reviews of my Colt’s on this channel and a lot of them have small issues. More Colt reviews coming too. Including 38 Super.
How dare you shoot a half inch group with the same type of European trigger safety that Kimber and Sig uses and a gritty trigger pull on your new colt commander with the budget back strap and the single magazine and like it!
Nice pistol, nice grouping. I’m jealous
🤣🤣🤣 thanks man.
I have this gun anxious to hear what you have to say about it
Dang I miss home. Hope I can get back there afor I go under.
Mountain man
Maybe CZ has made the required changes in the Hartford front office. If so, look for more good Colts.
The lawyer parts in S80 guns makes me sad. That’s a great looking Blaster, look at whole lot cooler with a holster worn finish! 👌🏻 nice vid, I wish you’d crack them open on camera show us behind the curtain.😊
I can start doing that. It might be awhile because I have alot of content already filmed but I can start doing that. Or maybe a separate breakdown video? I might just do that.
@@wyominggunproject maybe I’m the only one who’d love that content but I bet not. Ty for making the videos
Hey Matt great video! Something about the Commander/Combat Commanders that is just pleasing to the eye. You wouldn't think just being 3/4 of an inch shorter would make a difference as far as eye appeal goes (well for my tastes anyway) and feel/balance goes (again just speaking for myself) but works for me. Still have the blued Combat Commander bought from one of the guys that used to come to The Range. You bought the Government model that was his too. Remember that? Anyway totally enjoying your videos Matt! Keep up the no BS tell it like it is format.
Thanks Mike. I remember that guy he was bald and weird, right? Can’t remember his name. Yeah I should have kept that Colt. I love the Commander size too.
Yes exactly! He would stand at the counter and clean his gun before shooting and then right after shooting. Never had much to say and yeah, a little different but okay.
Have owned one now for bout 4 years I don't remember any jams, trigger is getting little better but it's still a very tight slide and mag release. Overall I love this Commander 45. I'm I'd say a average shot but definitely getting feel for him after say 600 maybe 700 rounds.
They’re excellent 🤠
Cool 👍
Aquired my Colt Combat Commander like the one in this review. 400 rounds thru it. Super accurate and a joy to shoot. When i tried to disassemble it for cleaning i could not remove the barrel bushing! Took it to my LGS. They tried but could not remove it either. Told me to shoot several hundred rounds more thru it . Really? $ 1,000 for it and cannot get the barrel bushing out? Colt... Welcome to NO GO CITY! I am not going to carry it with this issue. Anyone have any thoughts, ideas, advice? Thanks. Btw i tried using a barrel bushing wrench... No joy.
So Bud shipped it to your favorite FFL gun store in your area? How the owner of the gun store feels? I know it a dumb question.. it just frustrating that my favorite gun store don't sell what I want..and I never bought a gun online before.. thanks for sharing your videos
Yep Buds ships right to my Local Gun Store. They are perfectly fine with it. Buying online is easy. Your Local Gun Shop will charge you a transfer fee but it’s a smooth process. 🤠
If a gun store isn't carrying what you want then they shouldn't have any feelings about you getting the gun online. They still get paid to operate as the FFL.
Impressed with the accuracy.
The magazine with this gun and the defender comes to the follower that compresses in his patented, and it allows for one more round even though it is shorter than the 1911 magazine.
Enjoyed the video. While in a gun shop a few weeks ago saw one. I am lamenting the fact that I didn’t purchase it.
I hate it when that happens 🤠
@@wyominggunproject my only hesitation would be that it’s front strap isn’t checkered. Hate to ugly it up with skater tape.
Ya can tune the trigger pretty good on a series 80.
Have the same gun had Dawson put adjustable sights on it . Good shootin gun
Kimber gave me 3 7 rnd. Mags.Colt gave me 1 8 rnd.
Yep
I picked mine up in 2018. No trigger creep. I put on Colt medallion grips. Don’t mind me asking but you don’t have channel monetization?
Nope not monetized man. I keep it off because of the hassle that UA-cam gives gun channels. I don’t want to have to fight for pennies every time they demonetize a video. Might set up something else because this is getting expensive 🤣
BTW I love the medallion grips. Where did you get them from?
@@wyominggunprojectyou’re probably right there. I’m sure ammo bills would be high. I had the subs but not the hours. Plus being critical in titles pushes video down.
@@wyominggunprojectAltamont grips. I checked, they have them in stock.
@@GIJose thanks man. 🤠
Great video. However, I hope you had an autonomous camera setup (ie, NO cameraman). lol
No cameraman. Just me brother 🤠
Do you have any experience with this model in .38 super ?
My colt lightweight commander is garbage. My bul armory blows the colt out of the water.
What's shaking with the lightweight commander that makes it garbage? It's not a trick or loaded question, I'm just curious.
@@robwilson3749 the rear site was off, the finish had a few minor scratches, the grip saftey rattled, the over travel screw fell out, and it still won't cycle through a 7rd mag without having at least one failure to feed. The list of what was good about it would have been shorter.
@@robwilson3749I think their ltwt cmdr uses a GI barrel with no ramp with all chamberings. supposedly the rounds hitting the alloy frame wear it out over time
