They are excellent guns. I have 2 government size, one blued, one stainless and one commander size. I haven't got to shoot the stainless yet but holding it and looking at it I know it's a keeper for sure.
My blued one is probably my most accurate 1911 at least with me at the controls. It's sweet. The commander runs right with it and on any given day might beat it in the accuracy department.
Far as I know it's mil spec. I notice the grip frame is slightly deeper front to back but standard 1911 grips fit perfectly and I don't think it effects any other parts. I'm not certain what the sight cuts are for replacement sights but shouldn't be hard to find out.
Have you seen a stainless commander, I've heard they are like chicken lips to find, the full size can be a challenge too. Just not enough of them in the system yet.
