I'd love to have one, but way out of my price range.
Then she'd REALLY hate me...
And I have ten toes. what's your point?
Bersa TPR 9 or TPR 9C are also high capacity mags., 17 and 13 respectively, and the easiest, I know of to field strip. And they both have rails. But they, nor the Beretta, are of the 1911/2011 platform.

Do NOT give up! If you really want and need one it will show up then Jump on it.
Some things never pass by a second time. Like a particular gun and a good woman!
C'mon, guys ... It's time to "Get Down With The Sickness!"
No such thing as just one more!
Shhhhh! I am stalking my next one!
Naw! They get over it, sometimes slowly but I have had this partner for 37 years!
As far as semi-auto pistols go I am always leaning toward .45s. I do have some 9mm pistols just because. Browning Hi-Powers, Lugers, P-38 Walther's, C-96 Mauser's and even Mini UZIs.
I have a standard "Tel Aviv" Israel UZI pre ban but it is in .45acp.
I am stuck with what was my first semi-auto handgun for over sixty years.
I guess I will have to do a layout group photo of my illness.

Let's put it this way...I have 11 STI's alone, and 10 Randall's....and I have at least 8 other manufacturer's of 1911's in my stable....
Kudos! That is amazing!
Pardon me for being an old school purist. I only have actual 1911s and 1911a1s. If I went after the other manufacturers of "1911s" I wouldn't have all these several hundred pieces of other junk. LMAO!
Good on ya my friend.
I am not even going there. The missus has a S&W 10 5/8 inch Model 29 .44 Mag Silhouette Gun and she shoots it all too well!

There IS something to be said for the 1911. A design that has proven it's worth in ANY conditions both military and civilian for over a century. It IS the Gold Standard by which all others are measured. John M. Browning was a Wizard! And Colt put it in our hands.
Well, there were times when what Colt turned out were less than what they should have been, and "fixing" them was more expense than they were worth, IMO. There are a number of mfr's that turn out perfectly acceptable to outstanding examples of the 1911, and I enjoy owning 'em.
Does anybody here have any experience with this Commander from Bul Armory?
Nope, but now I want one.
I'm on the wait list for one. I talked with one of the 'smiths Monday about one. it would seem that all but the sight and holster boxes are checked for my needs. The sights were most likely going to be changed out anyway. And a custom leather, or higher end type competition-ish holster would have been made or ordered regardless.
