    I'm seriously considering getting one of those as well. But I doubt I will ever carry it, so I'm sure the money would be better spent elsewhere.

    No, No, No, No.....................Scandium Bobtail needs to be carried! But I worn you the finish on the frame does not hold up to holster wear. Gives the gun character. Maybe someday I will post of Pic of mine as it looks now.

    Not a recent picture but you can see the finish starting to wear off the trigger guard. This happened after only a couple hundred draws out of a holster. Also the slide cuts are great at collecting an icky mixture of gun lube, dust bunny and butt sweat.

    PC gun is only $100. There is nothing "Performance Center" about the new guns. For $100 you get fancy grips (which came off anyway), Briley Bushing (which I like), Lightning Cuts (no strong opinion). Other then that I still needed a short trigger. Honestly the gun is a touch over priced but it looks cool and carries nice.

    What do you mean it is only $100? $100 more than the regular? This is the same gun right? Smith & Wesson SW1911 45 ACP Performance Center Pistol with 4.25-inch Barrel and Ports | Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore

    It's not really a commander, its is a government cut down to a 4.25 with a threaded bull barrel in three different caliburs 9mm 38 super and 45 acp.
