As I get deeper into the mythical world of the 1911, I find I really don’t know as much as I thought about guns or obsessions. The worshipers of the 1911, people I used to consider somewhat cultish, are actually much more than that. They’ve taken the craft of pistol making and honed it into high art. Oddly, in doing so, they’ve also managed to make the guns less precious, more functional, and completely modern.<\/p>\n

Take a Christensen 1911. That’s what we’re reviewing today, and this 1911 Commander<\/a> is a fine example of what I’m talking about. Their guns are exquisitely beautiful. Fans of pattern welded steel flock to Christensen’s Damascus 1911. It is a showy gun. But it is no more complex than some of the Christensens that look much less ostentatious. Yet the guns are anything but simple. This review gun is a titanium framed Commander model.<\/p>\n
