The Commander Classic is Dan Wesson's homage to the original Colt Commander — a 4.25-inch 45 ACP 1911 built to modern production tolerances while preserving the commander format that has served carry shooters since 1949. The hand-lapped barrel and tight frame-to-slide fit deliver accuracy that the original Colts never could. It is the most traditional offering in the Dan Wesson lineup. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: 45 ACP Capacity: 8 Year introduced: 2017, USA Weight: 36 oz Overall length: 8" Status: Active Intended use: Concealed Carry, Self-Defense, Collecting
