Re: Lightweight 1911s

Sorry, but I will not be much help on alloy frame 1911’s. I have only owned 1 and I did not like the balance or the wear that I saw on the frame after several hundred rounds. It was a Colt Lightweight Commander. Rapid wear on the feed ramp and rails. They are meant to be carried and not shot I think.

The Wilson is, I am sure, a fine pistol. But it is a carbon steel frame like your Ed Brown. Take a look at Les Baer’s Stinger. Maybe a better pistol for $1000 less than the Wilson. By the way, I believe that Ed Brown still uses Baer forged frames and slides in his pistols.
