Q: What is the difference between a commander model and government size frame?

A: We are pledged to provide you with the strongest part at the best price. By using pre-heat treated blanks, we can offer a "forever" guarantee on out frames against cracking.

A: All Caspian officer and commander slides regardless of caliber are cut for .38s/9mm ejectors.
