Nice Commander, my favorite for carry bar none. Older ones like that are getting harder to come by. If it shoots good, don't let it get away from you.
Don't change it, it's perfect just like it is, for CCW, unless you are left handed, then you might want an ambi-safety, but really that is all it would need for me to be happy, as long as it was reliable.

It is a good shooter, I am right handed, and it is the last handgun that I would turn loose of it it ever came to that.
Lookin' GOOD! I have owned and carried Commanders since the 1960s. One is a blue .38 Super and the other a satin .45.

Well, the upside to that is there are not many firearms that I have any trouble reaching the fire controls without repositioning my grip. Safeties, slide stops/releases, mag releases...
Yeah, on mag changes I have to twist the piece in my strong hand for my thumb to reach the release. Small price to pay. I have to do that with all mid to large sized pistols, not just 1911's. I do it without even thinking about it anymore.
