The Iver Johnson Falcon Commander delivers reliable .45 ACP performance in a full-size 1911 platform designed for serious shooters. This steel-framed pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision to create a dependable sidearm for competition, duty, or personal protection.
What Makes This Different
The Falcon Commander features a fully machined steel construction throughout, from the matte blued slide to the solid steel frame with integral beavertail safety. Unlike polymer-framed alternatives, this all-steel design provides superior recoil management and enhanced accuracy potential. The serrated slide top reduces glare while providing positive grip during press checks, and the checkered double diamond walnut grips offer classic aesthetics with functional control.
