Dann, I have a couple friends who like to excoriate me for being harsh about steel-frame "Commanders." I just think it a travesty that some people confuse those heavy, clunky things with a real Commander.

Colt should have picked another name - maybe Commodore? Like the naval officer of that rank, they should be few and far between, as far as I am concerned.

M29since14, maybe Colt should've called it a "Rear Admiral lower half" instead?

Talk about "few and-far between"!
Something about the name of that rank has always tickled the you-know-what out of me. Must be latent 8th-grader still inside this 56-year-old brain. He does enjoy making an appearance now and then.
Just kidding, too; no disrespect intended to the Commander.
