I bought a Ruger LW Commander last Wednesday. Went by one of my local gun stores just to see what was new. Mentioned I was looking for a LW 9mm Commander and they went in the backroom and got the Ruger for me!! They had gotten it 5 days before and hadn't had time to put it out on display. So I bought the only one they had!!! 
I also bought 4 Wilson 1911 Elite 500-9 10rnd mags for it. So I'll have 11 rnds total in the gun. The fit and finish on this one was very good. It was tight without being too tight. Very well made!
I got to the gun range on Thursday. The Ruger shot just excellent. I shot 150rds of UMC 115gr FMJ without any issues in the Wilson 9mm mags. I loaded 1 in the chamber and 10 in the mag and they all fed and fired with out any problems. I shot 50 rds of 124gr Gold Dots, my carry ammo. As many of you are aware Gold Dots are noted for being a problem in many semi-autos! Not one problem in the Ruger, they all fed without any problems out of the Wilson mags. The target pictures are at 21-25 ft and the targets are the 6" Shoot-N-C. I'm not the best shot anymore, need MORE practice. But it shot to POA at 20-25 ft. Since the 9mm ammo is much cheaper than 45, I'll be able to get a lot more time in at the range. I'm very happy with the Ruger and it runs great!! I measured the trigger pull Thursday night with my electronic gauge and it ran about 4.5lbs, no grittiness, smooth, and clean break. I like 4lb triggers on my carry guns but the trigger out of the box is very very good.
I made the grips on the Ruger about 7 years ago for a Taurus 1911 I had at the time. I was in the US Army Signal Corp form March/1968 to Nov/1970.
