You could give up on a 1911 and go to a Ruger P95. The P95 doesn't even have a frame. You could shoot it until you break Snow White and all seven of her dwarfs and it will be just fine.

Thats like trading in your corvette for an old pinto

I have a Custom Colt 1911 Light Weight Commando and I doubt if I ever see it wear out regarding the frame. I like the steel frame guns myself. But regarding your question about alloy frames. It brings to mind all the rounds and abuse the Beretta M-9 Military Pistols take. Never seems to be a significant problem with the Alloy Frame, at least I have never heard of it. So I doubt if you and I would ever see it no matter how many rounds we shoot. And I know some (Frames) of them had more than 30,000 + rounds through them on the low side. So i guess who knows how many rounds it would take to wear one out. Also would obvioulsy depend on the loads and other effects.

I can respect you touting your choice in firearms,but were talking about a whole different category of gun here. The p95 is such a different animal than a commander 1911 that I don't think it could ever be even considered for the same uses the other would be.

Besides I already have a double-stack 9mm and I'm as pleased with my Walther PPQ as I can be possibly be.,I have no need for another firearm of the same nature. Thank you for your reply though.
