The Ghost is a custom XSE Lightweight Commander. BIG difference in reliability and felt recoil. The Lightweight Commander has been a proven performer for over 60 years now. And there are still those of us out here who absolutely love and even prefer that grip safety. Although I will confess that I liked the previous Colt wide grip safety better. But I have never seen one in stainless for sale. Well that would fit a Series 90 that is. Why do y’all keep bringing up the Defender???

Ghost ring sight, coupled with fiber optics up front.....slick black grips (two pair), not to mention the lightweight commander is the perfect CCW hardware. Okay, screw the series 80, had a series 70 trigger system installed. Ambi-safety sucked, felt like it was two stages and gritty. Also a cast piece, so I had a Wilson Combat forged right handed safety installed. Outstanding performance, equal to my Dan Wesson C-Bob. Defenders are gonna jam! Spring system of the 1911 was never meant to be utilized in this fashion. Recoil of a defender? Average, hardly extreme. What is special is that its a Colt!

All you weenies scared of a 1911 .45 ACP should know my wife can put 6 rounds 12 yards downrange and cover the holes with a silver dollar. Ain't nothin wrong with Colt.

Some otherwise macho men are recoil wimps and some of the most petite, delicate-looking women don't seem to feel recoil at all. Magnificent 7, you’d be surprised.

I can only speculate it is saving money some labor costs. That alone has kept me from buying a Colt pistol, the last time I purchased a Colt 1911 was in the 1980's. I own only one Colt out of an extensive collection of pistols. Colt still insists on keeping that ugly and unpractical beavertail grip safety.
