I have been looking around at 1911's recently, trying to find a Colt Lightweight commander in 45 specifically. I stumbled across Fusion Firearms and decided I would also accept their version, the Freedom 1911 CCO in 45.
Now, the issue comes into play that both of these companies are completely dried out of 45's to sell, yet their 9mm counterparts are widely available. Which got me thinking and wondering why this is? Why is the 9mm version of these guns so much easier to get your hands on? If you saw a large sales success on one model, then saw the other just collecting dust on the shelf, why would you not focus production efforts onto the success?
What do you guys think? I do know Colt was bought out by CZ, so I assume that is the reasoning behind Colt becoming virtually nonexistent. Though I have found numerous of their 9mm commanders locally.
