My brother-in-law held true to his word. He had his father's Colt Commander (Serial #"70BS2...") which he said he wanted me to have. My father-in-law carried it for several years as an LEO until the police department standardized their firearms. Today my brother-in-law gifted it to me.
From what I can find on the internet, it was manufactured in 1975. Can anyone confirm my research? If I am correct, that makes it around 37 years young.
It is my first 1911 style pistol. I had been hoping to get one some day, but I did not expect one to just drop in my lap like this. I can't wait to shoot it.
