I'm looking to pick up a commander size lightweight model. I'm looking for opinions from those who have one. Any significant difference in recoil from the steel frame version? (I've never had anything smaller than a 5", but don't assume the difference will be that much).
I've seen the Colt, S&W, Para Ordnance, and of course everyone seems to have a Kimber in stock. Is there one you would avoid? Is there one you really prefer, with good reason?
I've read the internet rumors about the CBOB from Dan Wesson, but since I can't seem to find one to lay my hands on, I'm assuming it's just some old wives tail. Anyway, it's not a lightweight, and I won't buy something I can't lay my hands on first, so please leave that one out of the conversation for this purchase (I think, at least I'm pretty sure I've decided on a lightweight ).
