Does anyone make an aftermarket aluminum slide for the Commander. I'd sure like to trim a little weight off mine. I handled an aluminum slide Commander in a gun shop today and it was sweet. Anything out there? Zack

No such animal except for 22 long rifle. Kimber has a factory Government model slide made specifically for 22 long rifle. Several aftermarket companies have made 22 long rifle aluminum slides. None can be converted to centerfire and I would not want to try such a stunt. Receivers can be made of aluminum and that does trim about 10 ounces from the weight of the 1911.
