Ruger vs Springfield

[Zombie Steve]

Yeah, I might have been a little harsh. Nothing Springfield puts in can't be changed if you so desired, and I've run mine tens of thousands of rounds without a problem. Just irks me.

I have never once in any of my 1911's encountered a problem with a plunger tube... Just my opinion, but that wouldn't amount to much in my selection process.

[Hoser]

I have owned both.

Still own the Springer.

Well I ended up getting the Ruger. Too good of a deal at my LGS. Can't wait to get some range time in.

Very nice!

This may be a dumb question - but are the grips on the commander the same size as grips on full size? Can I buy any grips and they will work on the commander?

Yes.

[ray1970]

Only the "officer" size grips are shorter. Commander are same as the full size.

[Madeinhb]

Sweet. Thanks for the info.

Good looking 1911, by the way. I'm kind of partial to the all black model myself.

Never saw that in the commander series.
