Is it in .38 Super or .45 ACP? Rumor has it that some were produced in 9m however I have never seen one. Contact Colt archives via email and they can help you. It's a good handgun in either caliber.

its a .45, and the big difference about this gun it doesn't say combat commander, all the info i have found is about the combat commanders or the .38 super. i cant find anything about this one with the serial numbers starting in 48
