Dan Wesson Specialist Commander OR .45 ACP | 4.25″ | MFG# 01795

The Dan Wesson Specialist Commander is a full-size, 1911-pattern semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 4.25″ barrel and optics-ready slide. It wears a black duty finish, G10 VZ Operator II grips, an integral 1913 Picatinny rail, and fixed tritium front and rear sights for low-light visibility. This pistol is well suited to duty/service use and competition or practical shooting where a robust 1911 platform and ambidextrous controls are valued. A compact red-dot such as a Trijicon RMR (priced well under $1,000) is a practical pairing for the optics-ready slide.
