Dan Wesson Guardian VS Dan Wesson Vigil Commander

Dan Wesson has combined the best features from two of their most popular models, the Bobtail Commander and the CCO. The Guardian has an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to help reduce printing when carrying concealed. The alloy frame makes it light enough for comfortable full time carry. The Duty Black finished, Commander-length slide and alloy frame give it just the right feel and balance. If you are looking for a lightweight Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm, .38 Super or .45 ACP, don't pass up the Guardian.

With the same features as the Government-size Vigil, this shorter Commander drops some weight due to its shorter barrel and slide, making it a mid-sized pistol that remains incredibly shootable while being easier to carry on-body all day.
