Description for Item # 331711998 
 

Early Colt Lightweight Commander .45, Mg. 1953. Stock # MSH252416SP. Serial # 308xxLW. One of over a thousand Antique and Modern Collectible firearms, including Military, Sporting, Custom and Tactical guns, as well as Edged Weapons and Militaria we have for sale at Jackson Armory (see our other listings), this is a very collectible and early (manufactured 1953) Colt Lightweight Commander .45. In the 1950’s most Police Officers and Detectives still carried revolvers as duty guns, but, as always, the guys on the “cutting edge” were already starting to switch over to automatics, and the 4$ barreled, Lightweight Colt Commander was (and still is!) an excellent choice for both holster and concealed carry – a lightweight, high-quality handgun with .45 acp firepower! This early 1953 gun has a factory blue finish with polished flats and matte slide top and undercarriage. It has fixed sights and the desirable ring hammer. The magazine is Colt-marked on the bottom. The factory grips are brown plastic with the Rampant Colt emblem. These early Commanders, obviously, pre-dated the Series 70 and Series 80 guns. The pistol has some tiny service marks and faint holster wear, the grips are in great shape, and overall condition is close to 95%. The pistol has a shiny bore with strong rifling, and trigger pull is exceptionally smooth. This is a very collectible Colt Lightweight Commander, it will really enhance a good collection!
