Combat Commander Progress

Finally got the 9mm Combat Commander back from the gunsmith today.
He fitted a BarSto match barrel and tuned the action.
Single stage, clean break at around 3lbs (not for carry...that's the CCO's job).
FedEx delivered it about 3:30pm, hit the range by 4:30.
It's shooting low at 15yds, but I'm fine with that since I can compensate for it and also shoot accurately out to 50 with it. Front sight change is an option, but I've been without it so long I just want to shoot it "as is" a while.
Here's the first 30 rounds down the pipe (with the obligatory flier):
I'll get it dialed in better with more practice!

VERY NICE. Good looking and good shooting, what more can you ask for?
Don't worry, the haters will be along shortly to tell you it's supposed to be a .45...I'm not one of them.

It's ok... I have an STI in 9mm. I love paying for the 9mm price compared to the .45 (which has gone up recently)
Beautiful piece.

Ignorant ones, perhaps - the 1911 has been offered in 9mm and .38 super for decades (and the Colt Ace in 22LR)
I wish I still had the .38 super Gold Cup I had in the mid 80's . Talk about a tack driver! SHould have held on to it.
Right now I only have 2 in .45 , one in 9mm, and one in .22 ....I must buy more.
EDIT: I forgot, I also have one in 6mm airsoft. Very accurate for getting the gatos out of the yard.

I have the CPA shoot this Saturday, but I'd still like to make a contribution to the fund raiser.

Well, do you for yourself.
Not much to it using a competent gunsmith, and I can recommend one here in Texas if you're interested.
lemme know

doc,
I must have missed the original thread- did you send in a .45 to have it converted or a second top end built or was it a 9mm to begin with? I'd love to know who did the work and a ball park of the cost to do it.
Thanks,
Keith

Your COM is low. The center is red for a reason
