Created in response to a possible military contract, the Commander-size 1911 found a home on the civilian market and continues to be popular to this day.
Ruger proves less is more with its new Commander-style SR1911, packing all the qualities of its full-size model into a shorter pistol better suited for concealment.
Offered as part of the company's 50th anniversary celebration, the Ed Brown Executive Commander 1911 is the latest carry-oriented handgun to join the company's lineup.
