My Lew Horton experience
Nicest .45 I have. It's a Colt Commander with a 1" carry comp on the threaded barrel. Same OAL as a Gov. Model. "Royal" blue slide and stainless frame. Chip McCormick parts, full length guide rod, Novack sights, etc. Manufactured in 1998, bought in 1999. Serial number CMPCOxxx.
Came in regular Colt Custom shop box with no papers besides Colt series 80 manual. Extra Colt/McCormick magazine.
Called Lew Horton to see if they could tell me more/send me info. Got told it wasn't a current model, they didn't know about it and couldn't be bothered to help me.
Nice guns, but not because of anything Lew Horton does. Mine is one of 500 like it and came right from the Colt Custom Shop. That's good enough.
Regards.
