jdmidwest Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I stopped by the shop on my way home today and look what I found. I have been wanting a Colt Commander or Compact for quite a while but could not come across a used one. I found this Colt 1991A1 Compact today and traded off a Glock 21 for it that I bought a few years back. The pistol was a little flashier than I like so I dug around the junk box and came up with a set of black grips. The Ivories had a slight pink tinge to them but they were Colt, I stored them for later use. Can't wait to get out and shoot it some. Calling for poor weather all weekend and snow till Thurs. so I may have to wait a while. Should make a good carry gun. A little thinner than the M&P with 6+1 like my Kel Tec.

jjtroutbum Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Nice!!!! Think you made the right decision on the grips. I had been on the look out for one also. Thought I had one well actually a Kimber Ultra Carry II but my buddy made a better decision and decided to keep it and start using it. Now I am thinking I may just by a full size GI clone for a range toy. And keep the G30 as my trusty side kick.

jdmidwest Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 I want some nice wood panels, looked on Ebay last night and have a gun show in 2 weeks. Now I need the Commander Series and my stable will be complete. I have a Government made by Brolin Arms back in the 80's. I have owned 2 Colts and an AMT Hardballer in the past.
